When John Boy is reading from his novel, he describes a young man sitting next to an older man on a bus. He is actually reading the final scene from the film "Spencer's Mountain," which was also penned by "Waltons" writer Earl Hamner Jr. In fact, the oldest son in "Spencer's Mountain," on which the Walton series is based, is named Clayboy.
