- GoofsFlashback shows John Boy (Homecoming) very young telling Olivia how he feels about being a writer. Olivia (Michael Learned) looks much older than the first season as she wasn't in The Homecoming. They should have made her look younger if possible.
- Quotes
Narrator: [narration as John 'John Boy' Walton, Jr. reading from his journal] It came as a coincidence that just as I finally completed my first novel, Elizabeth, for the first time, became enthralled with a book. I wondered if what I had written would ever be published and read half so avidly.
