I Smell Pop Culture: The Waltons

iHeartPodcasts
About this episode

In Season 1, Episode 6 “Rory’s Birthday Parties”, Lorelai recounts the trauma of childbirth to Rory, who asks “I wonder if The Waltons ever did this”. 

We’re exploring another iconic TV family when we talk to Judy Norton (Mary Ellen on The Waltons)! The family drama that made the Great Depression seem fun, and it has more in common with Gilmore Girls than you might think! 

Plus, we’ll find out if The Waltons ever did celebrate a birthday in that unique Lorelai Gilmore style. Goodnight John-Boy!
