I would love to hear a few behind the scenes stories from your Password Plus and Super Password appearances! Also, enjoy your visit to St. Charles. That’s very near me.

Happy Birthday Jon 🎉

I'm so glad I found your channel. I grew up watching The Waltons and loved it so much. I really enjoyed this video. It was all such interesting behind-the-scenes information. How cool to know about John's many talents. Happy birthday, John. Subscribed!!! 🌟

Thanks Judy, this is lovely. With You Tube so full of political stuff at the moment this video clip is a breath of fresh air and wonderful to watch

THAT'S EXACTLY how I always think about scenes that take place in a moving car: “Look at the road!!!” (Even if you know it's all save, but you still get caught up in the illusion - that's the magic of moving pictures). - This is an episode that I find old-fashioned in the BEST SENSE. - Once again I say THANK YOU JUDY for the enlightening info!

You are the best Judy, Thank you for everything you do for all of us!!

This was a blessing to me as always, hon! Thank you! I’ve also been blessed in reading some of the comments posted for this specific segment you made for your channel!

Thank you Ms Judy for honoring Jon Walmsley. I hope you had a awesome birthday Mr. Jon Walmsley. God's speed to you both.

It was a very clear explanation, and it sounds like an incredible amount of work for the actors just to follow the schedule, especially considering how many children were involved in the show. It's hard to believe you had any time for school work. You must have slept well every night! How did you keep from getting burned out with that kind of schedule? Did you have any time to socialize and make friends outside of the set?

Yes, I was surprised to see him a couple of Richard Marx videos.

Jon was perfect in his role and indeed very talented acting and musically. Thank you for sharing this epitaph of his life. I am so glad he is happily married and still living life and fostering his musical abilities. He always made you aspire to have an older brother so kind and compassionate, thoughtful and protective of his family and all those sisters.. who could not love him. Truly a sensitive person with passion. Happy Birthday overseas Jon and do come back for a visit with the family. Would love to see you. Judy thank you for honoring Jon. These stories. You present them so authentically. They do feel like part of the family. ❤️🎁😊

Judy,, do any scenes with you and Jason stand out as special from the show?

Hi Judy can you talk a bit about the return of Ellen Corby after her stroke? Were the producers and/or network brass hesitant to allow it?

Jon is a gem. I love his character, Jason. Of course he reminds me of my older brother, who is musical himself, and a very kind and generous soul. Happy birthday a day late, Jon. Mary

In season 5 Episode 24, “The Achievement “, there’s a flashback to “The Homecoming”, in which Ralph Waite subbed for Andrew Duggan. Do you know if there were any more flashback scenes from “The Homecoming” used in the series and redone because of the cast change? Thanks.

Quite the claim to fame: voice of Christopher Robin in the WP series, plus jamming with Merle Haggard! Happy BD to John Walmsley!

I'm a bit surprised he was only in 5 episodes. Goes to show what a strong presence he brought to the episodes.

What happened to Jennie? I thought she was John Boy's first love?

Happy Birthday Jon! All the Walton kids have unique talents that contribute so much to their characters. "Jason" is so special. Love his softness, yet he also stepped up to the plate all the time. 🎉❤

Happy Birthday Jon.

Judy, I’ve been bingeing seasons 5 & 6 since Christmas. I don’t remember them as well as the first three or four seasons probably because I was in high school and college when these came out. What I’ve been noticing, being a musician myself, is that when the Walton’s family sings together they all sound really beautiful together and I can hear their distinct voices. Was everyone in your group gifted in singing? The Anniversary song on the Mountain was especially beautiful.

Hey Judy Norton. This is Cathy. Wearing gloves at your house while you are cleaning all the rest of your other dishes at home will also help your our very very own nail polish not chip off of your fingernails or toenails at all.

🎉happy birthday to jon/ Jason Walton. I just love watching the Waltons thank Judy for all you do love you all. ❤🎉

Pooh and Christopher Robin were a big part of my childhood, actually...I wanted to BE Christopher Robin or any English kid for that matter.🤭 I still watch my copy of One and Only Original Family Band on occasion. Great tunes and very timely. Best wishes Jon!🎊🎂🎉

Happy Birthday Jon 🎂 🥳 🎉 🎈 🎁 🎊 Hope you have a GreatDay

I was just watching the episode of the indiscretion. At the end of the show John boy said that Mary Ellen and Rose were the only two that knew the truth about I can Corvettes near divorce. If they were the only two who knew about it how was it that John Boy could write about the indiscretion and how Corabeth forgave him? The other thing I questioned was, "Why didn't Ike speak up about Corabeth meeting up with her friend from school? He did see the note that the man wrote to Corabeth where she was going to go meet him. Corabeth lied to Ike about where she was going and why, and yet she felt justified in leaving Ike because of a note she found. I had forgotten the episode where Corabeth met up with her male classmate. I can't remember his name either.

I love seeing these episodes with the real people and Judi. It is so much more informative to know how they really feel or felt back then and brings the reruns or DVD's even more to Life. Like when Richard said, "I really felt sad leaving." That was portrayed on the screen but I always wondered how much was acting and how much was really in his heart? So now I know, he really did feel sad. The only thing that I saw as an advantage was now, the rest of you had more screen time. They developed your characters more than before. So instead of having one star in each scene, no one really stood out as front and center so in that his leaving was a good thing to allow your characters more episodes. So then, you all were really a family. And for that, I liked that aspect of it better. Like with Jim Bob, I wonder if his character would ever really been developed if John Boy was still the "star?" It was horribly sad at first for all of us that John Boy left the series and it was worse bringing in a fake JohnBoy and the transition was hard to accept him because you know what? You all were family to us too. So switching people was hard on us too. Oh Well life goes on. Just like in real life, we have to adjust to change in each other's lives. Let go of the past and move on into the present. Family members do move away so it is only natural....it is just hard in a series like that. But I was really GLAD to get to know the other cast members and to see them shine where before every scene pretty much revolved around, one character.....John Boy.

Very strange this came up in my F.Y.P.. from 4 years ago. Regarding the fake snow, I remembered when grandma and grandpa came home I noticed when they stepped out of the truck it looked like they were stepping into some sort of thick foam.

Judy, I watched the episode when Jason sang Lorena to grandpa when grandma was in the hospital. I couldn't stop crying! My grandfather was without my grandma after she had a stroke. He was much like grandpa Walton. Advice for us 12 grandkids. This was in the 60's til he passed in 1984. He was a great man. His 4 sons went off to war and they all came back. My dad in ww2 and his twin also in ww2. My dad in the army was in the battle of the bulge and his twin in the navy. I'm crying now thinking of them. They passed away in their 90's. I love your show Judy! Please keep showing us your memories!

Top of the morning Miss Judy ❤. Music is one of life’s most beautiful treasures. And happy birthday 🎉 to Jon across the pond. “ the hundred acres wood “ My mother’s only brother Lawrence was in those battles for real in the army artillery in Europe 1944. On his memorial is carved his saxophone 🎷 and notes 🎶 he loved to play. He was as kind and gentle a man as one could hope to meet.

Jon is so talented each song he wrote for the series were fantastic , my favorites Ironing board blues and Antoinette as he and Lisa were great together in the series . Sensitive men in war can become heroes as in Founders day Sheriff bridges didn't like what he became in war . Json rally embraced so many men of the era Hard to believe we are all getting older like Grandpa and Grandma

I cry every time I watch this episode. Very well done had alot of feelings

Happy Birthday Jon🎉

Happy Birthday Jon🎉!

Another wonderful memory of the Walton's Thank You ❤

Richard should look into encouraging a return of Shad , a Return To The Battle Beyond the Stars . Whatever became of the farmer- warrior ??

I remember thinking Mary Ellen was a spoil sport and a bit of a hard ass but when I watched the show recently I was able to understand her unique position as the eldest girl in a rural Depression Era family . I loved the show as a very young kid ( I think I was 4 years old ) but as an adult I gained a new appreciation for the ethic and much maligned TONE of the show . Also , I got a great chuckle recently listening to people lauding the show from a CONSERVATIVE perspective … The Waltons was a very Progressive show ….

Also Dyamite magazine too.

Teen Beat was out social media back then...

I always liked Jason on the Walton's! He was a kind and gentle soul ❤️ Happy Birthday John Walmsley🎉 My eldest son shares your birthday 🎂

Happy birthday Jon!

I watch the Walton’s everyday I Love it your so great God Bless You Always

I just watched the 1975 Emmys where Will Geer and Ellen Corby both won. Best speech ever. Is Will's Emmy actually in Schuyler in the museum or is it with his family?

Happy Birthday Jon 🎉. Love these postings.

The enjoyed your video for Jon Walmsley, and wishing him a happy birthday. He is a very talented individual. Thank you for sharing the back ground info on The Waltons.

Happy birthday Jon ❤❤❤❤❤❤

David and Kami, as the youngest of the actors, were extraordinarily skilful. Yes, of course, the writing was brilliant but it was they who brought the characters so richly to life.

Happy Birthday John! 🎁🎈

Just on the point about perfect casting (and how true that was about ALL the Walton family), may I highlight the exquisite contribution of Helen Kleeb and Mary Jackson as the Baldwin sisters? Beautifully written characters, and so beautifully acted.

Happy Birthday Jon aka Jason
