But the road to glory won’t be an easy one. Coach Glo must juggle her tiny but mighty dancers, their scheming moms and ensuing meltdowns, all while ruling with a tender but tough iron fist. Will Glo and her dance team persevere amidst the dramatics?”

A holiday ‘Homecoming’ launched ‘The Waltons’

“The Waltons” is one of the most beloved drama series ever made for television, and its history began on CBS in 1971 with the still-affecting movie “The Homecoming: A Christmas Story.” MeTV shows the film Sunday, Dec. 7, with Richard Thomas originating the role of eldest son John-Boy, who becomes pivotally involved in finding his missing father (Andrew Duggan here, though Ralph Waite had the part in the series) during an intense snowstorm. Oscar winner Patricia Neal stars as wife and mother Olivia Walton, who was played by Michael Learned in the weekly show set during the Depression, but the other younger players in this first “Waltons” tale — Judy Norton, Jon Walmsley, Mary Elizabeth McDonough, Eric Scott, David W. Harper and Kami Cotler — continued their characters in the series, and Ellen Corby also stayed on board as Grandma Walton. Writer Earl Hamner Jr., who first used the premise in his novel
