My husband and I watch reruns of the Walton's every single day. It's so comforting; like wrapping yourself in an old favorite blanket. With each episode, it's like going back to simpler times.

Doesn't she have the most pleasant, calming demeanor? Nice to see a former 'child star' who grew up to be so seemingly well-adjusted. Lovely person.

I think the seventies was best decade, the music, fashion, tv shows, movies and don't forget the disco era! I am glad I was there as a teen.

Let’s all step into Judy Norton’s time machine! Old home movies put a smile on my face in general...thank you for sharing these with the fans. 💜

Those clothes and cars looked just like my childhood in the 70's. Thanks for the walk down memory lane, and especially for sharing your mom's rare films with us, Judy.

Oh gosh. What a rich history to look back on. Nice to see some of it documented for you to help trigger memories and to be able to share with us. I'm sorry to hear your mom passed away. Condolences. Your mom gave the world a lovely woman and a tremendous actress.

What a treasure your Mum left for you to find. Sad that so much Warner history is gone. Because of you and your Mum it won't be forgotten! ✌❤

Had a tumultuous childhood. Out on my own at 17. If it not for watching the Waltons on Thursday nights i would have never learned how to be the parent i became. Thank you so much for the effort put forward.

I am so enjoying this the ones who are on Facebook from the Waltons. When I broke my back in 2014 I had the opportunity to watch each episode during my recovery. I love them so much

What wonderful memories of the Waltons combined with your family….priceless.Your family was surely proud of you!

I just turned 64, born & raised in Virginia. My mother and I loved, loved, loved watching The Waltons when I waa growing up in the 70's. I loved the closeness of the family, the mountains. Actually there was nothing that I disliked about the show. A few weeks ago, I was able to find it on Tv and I watched it for 3 weeks straight. My parents grew up during the depression years hear in Virginia and they could relate to the show. Since I was about 10 or 11, I could visualize how their lives were growing up. A happier place and time compared to the world we live in today. Thank you so much for sharing. It is GREATLY APPRECIATED.

I watched “The Walton’s” since the 70’s. I am 55 years old and still love to watch all the re-runs now in the year 2021. This show is such a comforting to all of us who are tired of all the news drama. Life back then was all about family and spending time together, sharing the holidays with family and friends. This world needs to go back to having everything closed, except gas stations on all major holidays. Yes of course Police and Fire, Hospitals need to stay open (Essential Businesses). The Good Old Days! 🥰

Hi Judy you are a natural existence for the Walton's. Like my mom always said, you are just like Mary Ellen! I watch the shows. How right she was! you did a naturally beautiful acting job. 🙋🕊️🕊️

[HeatherLynseyMusic]

My momma will absolutely love to see this! We watch The Waltons every chance we get, it’s nice to escape reality for a little while.

[shawnm]

I am used to just seeing you in the period clothes you wore doing the show. It was weird seeing you and Michael out of costume and in at that point in time modern clothes. It was amazing for your mother to have left you this gift. She must have been so proud of all your successes in life like the Waltons.

[sharonwomack]

I loved the Waltons growing up and now as a grandma! Judy is so sweet to watch behind the scenes!

[NedLOVESMia_Tiffany]

I remember a picnic table being used on the episode called the stray costarring Todd Bridges where John Sr used it to do paperwork and talk with a in the clouds Jim bob. Todd bridges had a fish hook in his foot sitting on a picnic table and John sr got it out.

[marywegrzyn]

Aren't they just wonderful?! They make me smile n make my day at 12 noon every day when I get to watch The Waltons on MeTV !!!!

[lucillelaurenzi]

I had loved watching these episodes of how the Walton's were filmed.It's interesting to see how Warren Brothers puts everything together.
