Apple's Way

The Tree (1x1)

Air date: Feb 10, 1974

Earl ("The Waltons") Hamner's latest TV family - California architect George Apple, his wife Barbara, and their four children — are introduced as they settle down to life in Apple's hometown in Iowa. They are another gentle family surrounded by dogs, except that Apple is a fighter when necessary, and he sharply opposes his own partners who want to cut down an old oak tree to make way for a new motel.
