The start and end of each episode of The Waltons is narrated by the eldest child of the family, John Walton Jr. – also known as John-Boy. As the eldest of the Walton siblings, John-Boy has a profound sense of responsibility, and is a very caring and thoughtful young man.
Calm and reserved in contrast to his more hot-headed siblings, John-Boy has a deep love of writing, which he pursues as his passion throughout the show. For the first five seasons of the show, he is played by Richard Thomas.
