The CW this Sunday night commemorated the 50th anniversary of The Homecoming: A Christmas Story — the 1971 TV-movie that wound up siring The Waltons — with a remake. But did it evoke enough folksy charm?

(John’s already long bus ride was further slowed by a brewing snow storm, and is eventually derailed when the bus skids off an icy road.
