Feels more like the Waltons than the lame films from 1982

Ok yes there are a lot of character inconsistencies in regards to the absence of Mary Ellens son John Curtis who would be more plausible being drafted into Nam than Jonsey was. And the absence of Ben and Cindy's 2nd born Charlie.

You could put the blame on the writers if they were new but these are veteran writers & director from the original series run. The main problem is the network execs who produced the film and figured it's been 11 years since the 1982 movies (that were made for a different network) that the fans probably wouldn't remember. I watched all three reunion films in the 90's I had hoped they would be of the same caliber as the first 5 seasons of the show but could never measure up.

I just re-watched this film tonight and well, I find it sentimental in parts. Far from perfect but a joy to have Richard & Michael back.
