More than four decades after\u00a0The Waltons<\/em><\/a>\u00a0ended, the show’s final episode still prompts debates among fans. Part of the reason may be that what viewers watched as the series finale was never supposed to serve that role at all.<\/p>\n

As\u00a0Kami Cotler<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0(Elizabeth) noted in a\u00a0Facebook<\/a>\u00a0post, that final episode had already been taped with the cast on hiatus, hoping for another renewal.<\/p>\n

“When the network decided to pull the plug, there was no formal communication to the cast,” she explained.<\/p>\n

Cotler continued, “Someone saw it in the news and then called around to let others know. It was disorienting to think it was over.”<\/p>\n

The episode, “The Revel,” aired in June 1981. At the time it was filmed, the showrunners were hoping another season might follow.<\/p>\n
