"Good Night, John-Boy!"
Did anyone catch the Cingular "Waltons" commercial during House tonight? Very funny. Earl Hamner speaks about the family staying in contact as the Walton house is shown, then says good-night to Mary Ellen in another house, who says good night to the next person in another house, etc. I am pretty sure those were the voices of the original cast members. ----------------------------------------------------------------

Yes we saw it! I was ready to howl by the end of the thing!! I thought those might be the original actors, but I thought it was neat that they used the walkie-talkie "chirp" between everybody. That's really close!

It would seem that the actor who played Ben did not want to participate. If you notice on the phone screen, it shows Ben as "Do not disturb". Everyone else is available.

actually Ben did participate... it's just that cingular wanted to demonstrate that their push to talk phones could show you if someone was unavailable. ben didn't make it for any other reason than that it had to be someone.
how do i know this? well, i wrote the commercial, and i'm pleased to report that all the walton kids are just as nice in person as they were in the tv show. it was a very cool experience. # posted by
