I thought “The Waltons” was a loving ode to FDR’s New Deal.

Don't remember much alluding to FDR's giveaways, and it seemed all the characters were not getting and were struggling like the rest of everyone during that period. Seemed conservative family values were much more stressed in this show than most though.
Been a long time since I have watch the show though.

A conservative, Godly family living off the land and creating their own way in life?

"I thought “The Waltons” was a loving ode to FDR’s New Deal." There was an element of that, I believe...at least in the pilot, "The Homecoming", which is shown at Christmastime.
I was a kid when the show aired, so I don't remember much of the political element. But last year I watched the pilot, and at the very beginning, the Grandpa character said that Mr. Roosevelt was going to save them all (paraphrasing).

Yea, but at time nearly all southerners were FDR boosters to the hilt.
