Don't laugh. I'm 65 y/o, and when I feel stressed, I lay down and watch a couple episodes of The Waltons. That's how I DE-stress. The love you all have for each other came through beautifully on the show. I notice the kisses, hugs, and just touches that you all gave each other. The love was real and it shows. I'm sure you've heard it a million times, but The Waltons was, and still is, a wonderful show. THANK YOU!
I agree with you! I’m also in my 60’s and commented on another post a few months back that I had been going through a very stressful time and watching The Walton’s actually helped to de-stress and comfort me.
Judy, the chemistry between you two is amazing. There was a moment when I almost saw the Waltons emerge and you became Mary Ellen and Michael became Olivia. It was really touching. Love this so much. Michael is so much fun to watch.
In "real life", Michael has the nurturing elements we also saw in the show. But she also has a great sense of humor that we couldn't see when watching the Walton's. What an all-around wonderful person to be around. Thank you so much for this special video.
Hi Judy..I noticed through watching the Waltons that today's actor's don't have that dynamic family bond even years later..it's like once in a lifetime experience! Thank you ❤
@@judynorton2598 lets give credit were its due so are you Judy, your accomplishments are exemplary. I'm sure there's more, the shows not over. The " Best " is yet to come
I watched the Walton's when it first aired and still watch the re-runs today. A wonderful series with great family values. I wish there were more shows produced similar to it in today's time.
Two beautiful ladies, inside and out. The genuine interactions among all the cast members are what keeps the episode’s, so special, and I cherish those days. watching you all play on The Walton’s is relevant today as it was back then at tender age of 13-14 years old, you all are so dear to my heart. ❤️😊
This is simply wonderful. I started re-watching The Waltons in retrospect as my parents were both in Hospice recently (both died in the past month, sadly), and the only time they enjoyed life in the past two months was watching The Waltons. Judy, you're a wonderful interviewer and story teller. I had no idea. I can recall my admiration for you back then due to your athleticism and fun acting style. Thank you for sharing this, and thank you Michael.
I have great memories of watching the Waltons 50 years ago with great memories of my mom watching it with me. Nice that you were able to have a nice experience such as the Waltons during that transitional period in your lives. Something about that show, it's epic for a reason. Hope your doing well, considering the sad circumstances.
Amybeth, my heart is with you, as I’m sure is true for so many. I expect your world feels rocked off balance right now. If it helps, Huberman lab (podcast/TH-cam) has a talk (or several) on the work of grief. I hope and trust you will come through to more peace over time & The Waltons will help you. As a start, it may help you get more of the tears flowing & out ;). It seems we need to gather our truths to heal, doesn’t it? Best wishes to you, especially for patience and self care. You’re not alone …❤️🩹
Judy, thank you for sharing Michael with us. She is a gift. I appreciate her both as Olivia and Michael after seeing her wonderful character shining through in this interview. Also, I would want more garlic; never enough. The zucchini looked delicious and I imagine the smell was tantalizing. So nice to see you still connecting after all these years. It is so hearwarming.
This is a total feel good video! Also, the idea of NOT salting during cooking is what I was taught, especially with meat, as the salt draws moisture from the meat, making it tougher than if you salt at the table. Sea salt is what I prefer, as it doesn't pull as much moisture out as table salt.
What a treat! What I loved about Michael Learned was her ability to convey so much with just a facial expression. There were a few scenes in the Waltons when she didn't have dialogue but her expression said so much. She was a joy to watch.
Great characters, great storylines, great scriptwriters, Great actors/actresses. Great wholesome family entertainment, and great memories of days of old. Thank you.
I love that recipe and cooking episode! What a blessing to have had a friendship like that for so many years! I am just a couple years behind you, Judy. The interactions between the characters were such a treat for the audience - it felt authentic.❤
I so enjoyed this! I was one of those people that wanted the "Walton life"...and still do! The zucchini looked so delicious! Michael Learned has a timeless beauty that never changes! So do you, Judy. Thank you for sharing this with us!
Oh thank you for this!! I love both of you, and Michael cracked me up when she said... "I have a filthy mouth!" I think it's the coolest thing EVER that you two have been in touch for 50 years! I STILL watch reruns of The Waltons at 2 or 3 in the morning, so comforting. I wish I could hug you both... Thanks... Christie
The app Freevee has all of the seasons of Waltons, I watch it every day. It's a totally free app, I have it on my phone, tablet and on my Roku on my TV.
It is so fascinating! Other TV moms remained close to their TV children. Yvonne DeCarlo (Lilly Munster) was closer to Butch Patrick (Eddie Munster) than his own parents ever were. Just one example.
I just love, Michael!!! She has always been good to me. Earl's mother was Italian. It is interesting she was in Italy for awhile. I knew she had been to Austria. Michael and Ralph really loved each other. I still believe they should have gotten married. Michael was so good to Ellen the last 2 years and supervised her care at the Motion Picture Hospital. She also arranged Ellen's memorial service. Mary Beth said Michael was like a second mother to her after she lost her parents and being sick.
This was nice! I remember the episode when Mary Ellen and Erin were cooking supper because Mama and Grama were re-vamping Grampa's tweed suit for John-boy, Mary Ellen whined and crabbed because she was having to cook LOL. This was fun, it made me hungry :)
Fifty years is a lot of time. It can make you sad, but not when you say it. This is not a sentimental journey into the past. It sounds more like a blessing, the way you celebrate a life long friendship. Still an example, then and now. Thank you both.
Wow, I’m blown away by this epic get-together! You both look lovely. She certainly does not look eightysomething! My goodness, this felt like a “real” (produced) tv show-beautiful “set,” “wardrobe,” hair, makeup, lighting…Yet such a natural cozy interaction between you and Michael! Just love the stories, the anecdotes, the cooking demo! “Mary Ellen” and “Momma” look wonderful-here in the “1980’s”(?)! Haha! Can’t wait to see part two!!
“Corabeth- SHE couldn’t cook.” Hahaha hilarious. This is awesome and I’m gonna go dive into part two. Kudos on the camera crew and lighting and beautiful set! A true professional setting for a couple of true professionals. I just wanted to say that it wasn’t the nurturing or the kindness or the gentleness that made me love Olivia Walton. I loved her for different reasons. She didn’t forget about herself. She took up art, she learned to drive, she rode all over that dang town on her bicycle, and she went on walks . She had a real relationship with her in-laws, which is an amazing part of the show to have witnessed because it doesn’t happen in real life very often and this show was a model for how it could be done. She was an example of how to keep a marriage alive with excitement and romance. She stuck to her guns and didn’t back down when something was important to her. But maybe the most important thing was her relationship with each of her kids. There are moments where she and John boy do some of the finest acting in the entire series in their talks with each others. The way, she knew each one of them individually and celebrated their talents and encouraged them was absolutely beautiful. Now I know that this was the writers, and I know that these were just characters. But she is one heck of an actor and I can’t help but tear up when I watch so many episodes and see Michael at work. I’m so grateful to everyone who worked on the show because it really is a work of art in so many ways. Thank you Judy for keeping it alive well into the 21st-century.
Yes so true. We as fans always have to remember to separate the character they play and the real life person. Sometimes there are similarities, but sometimes not.
Good to see you and Michael together. I am part Italian also, my father was Italian. His mom cooked delicious Italian food, and his Dad made the best meatballs. My mama was Irish and Swedish and she was an amazing cook and made all the Italian food also. The lasagna was phenomenal. She also baked fantastic desserts. I love spicy food, Italian food, especially garlic ❤️
My dad was italian too and my mom, also a great cook, learned to make the best italian food, esp. the lasagna (best I've ever had) as well, from his mother.
So wonderful watching you two together. Thank you both so much! I was just watching The Easter Story and how Michael displays her magnificent talent. The last episode I watched with you both in the kitchen you were helping Mama with canning peaches I believe in the Dust Bowl Cousins. What a way to start a Monday!!🥰
Oh my gosh, inspired people. The Waltons brings joy into our lives today more then ever. Because of the times we are in today, the Waltons takes you back when things were much simpler.💞
Oh my goodness! Just wonderful! One of my favorite scenes of Olivia is her birthday when she's a bit blue and in the yard weeding her garden a bit. John Boy reads her a poem he has selected to celebrate her special day: The Windhover by Gerard Manley Hopkins!(I think that's the poem; I'll have to double-check!) Olivia Smiles, but doesn't quite understand it but appreciates the lovely words. John Boy explains the poem and how it relates to Olivia, that she might see her life as ordinary, even mundane, but she and her life is very beautiful nonetheless. Ms Learned, thanks so very much for all your beautiful work as Olivia Walton and for joining Judy's Behind the Scenes. Like many others here, I've been a fan since the beginning! I just don't have the words to express why The Walton's and all of you mean so much to me! Judy, thank you again for your wonderful videos and présence! ❤
I love that episode, The Air Mail Man, in season 2. I love that part where he reads her that poem. So beautiful, such lovely words.❤️ I always rewind it.
Absolutely awesome Judy! Love you cooking with Michael. My son's name is Michael....he said he's gonna change his name to Olivia. I laughed. We watch the Waltons every weekday at noon on METV. He has a crush on Michael...I get it totally. Thanks Judy....so looking forward to the part 2. ❤❤❤❤❤
Well kiddo that was heart warming. Michael's voice takes me back. Love her home. What character it has! Love the recipe as well.what a treat this segment was. Looking forward to part 2. Keep up the grand work kiddo!
I love this‼️ So Happy to see both of them. I still watch the Walton's almost everyday, it's wholesome and reminds me of a time when people respected and helped each other.
So glad to see the two of you together in a kitchen really cooking! Fifty years as friends and coworkers is awesome. You both look great. Cant wait for part two.
❤ The Waltons in the kitchen will always have an endearing, enduring quality, actors or characters. Lovely to see you and Michael together on screen half a century down the line! ❤❤
Hi Miss Judy I'm 61 but my 9 year old self who adored you both and still does wants to say I love you both for always being food for my soul God Bless You Both Goodnight Momma And Goodnight MaryEllen💖💖💖💖💖
Delightful, thanks Judy! I would like Michael to know that, about this time every year, I watch her movie, A Christmas Without Snow. It's a tradition in my home.
I’m just thrilled having watched you both together again! I’ve never seen you in person (still hoping), but saw Michael in “Month in the Country” at the Mark Taper Forum. Michael was divine and I was over the moon. Thanks so much. This made my day Judy!
Loved this. Michael is so much like Olivia in ways. She has the nurturing feeling about her as both Michael and Olivia. You just see it and hear it. The best cooks don't go by an exact recipe they just wing it a little bit. That looked very healthy and good. I'll try it. Part 2 can't wait.
I cried so much when I saw you both together, it made me feel like the old days, thanks a million for having her on your show. Cheers to MICHEAL. HI FROM LUTZ FLORIDA USA
This segment was an absolute delight!!! Watching you two together was like magic as anyone could see the great friendship you have! Can't wait for part 2!❤❤
It's Mama!! Just watched the episode where Mama gives the " leave the potted geranium out"advice so Mary Ellen & Curt could have some "alone time"...thank yoo Mama 🤣💞💕🩷
hahaha...I am watching The Waltons right now on METV and this episode The Inferno , you are making deviled eggs . love seeing you and Michael in the kitchen again.
Outstanding episode, and I say this before I even watch it. Thank you Judy. I've been waiting for this like you wouldn't believe. Thank you, thank you, and thank you!
I can't imagine having to be my "business professional" self when out in public all the time. I totally get Michael and the pressure of keeping up an image. I'd disappoint so many 🤣🤣🤣
I loved seeing Michael again. She's as beautiful as ever. And that zucchini and tomatoes dish looked delicious. Thanks for the tip about adding oil to the butter to help keep it from turning brown. I never knew that!
The hug at 9:23 of the video made me cry and Judy you said everything that could be said right in front of Michael standing right next to you. Made me cry when MICHAEL said that was so sweet for you to say that
There is something I just love about your kitchen episodes. Maybe it is the heart (or the stomach 😊). Great getting to see Michael! She is a very loving person.
I'm enjoying this video immensely, as I did all the Waltons' scenes around that kitchen table. The Waltons was so well done; it was like watching a well produced movie each week. I miss it, but happy I can still catch reruns every now and then.
I'm binge watching all of the seasons of The Waltons on Freevee TV. I've always loved the show and started watching it when I was a little kid with my dad. I have seen every episode more than once. My favorite show 😊 I'm 60 now and was almost 9 years old when I started watching. Oct 1963 birthday ❤
I can't tell you how happy I am to see you both here!! Much love! You have a beautiful kitchen, Judy. The zucchini dish looked delicious too - it's a favorite of mine. Loved hearing the memories of the relationship between Michael & Ralph & the kids. Looking forward to the next visit. ❤
There's nothing better than Italian cooking. I know. My grandparents on both sides were from Italy. I had no idea that Momma Walton was half Italian. Although I think there was an episode were spaghetti and meatballs was served. Great video as always serving warmth and sense of family. You guys are epic. Thank you for the great memories. 🍝👍
Loved this video and as I was watching it my husband (who has dementia) was watching The Waltons because he forgets what he has already seen and still just loves these shows so much. It was so good to see the two of you together and you both are still so beautiful. Judy if that is your kitchen I am in love with it as I love color so much, what a beautiful kitchen!!
Don't laugh. I'm 65 y/o, and when I feel stressed, I lay down and watch a couple episodes of The Waltons. That's how I DE-stress. The love you all have for each other came through beautifully on the show. I notice the kisses, hugs, and just touches that you all gave each other. The love was real and it shows. I'm sure you've heard it a million times, but The Waltons was, and still is, a wonderful show. THANK YOU!
Thank you so much.
It’s healing
I think it’s the love that calms us, I was from a family of 8 kids and tho I’m sure we were loved, we weren’t nurtured 🥹
I do the exact same thing. The Walton’s are my go to when I need to calm myself. My very favorite show.
I agree with you! I’m also in my 60’s and commented on another post a few months back that I had been going through a very stressful time and watching The Walton’s actually helped to de-stress and comfort me.
Judy, the chemistry between you two is amazing. There was a moment when I almost saw the Waltons emerge and you became Mary Ellen and Michael became Olivia. It was really touching. Love this so much. Michael is so much fun to watch.
The family bonds are strong :)

I can see how the “Family bonds are strong.” ♥️
In "real life", Michael has the nurturing elements we also saw in the show. But she also has a great sense of humor that we couldn't see when watching the Walton's. What an all-around wonderful person to be around. Thank you so much for this special video.
Such phonies....l loved the 50 years of program, but they're either going to cook or talk, can't do both ....
So true. She’s the best of Olivia and herself - the same but different. 😊
Nice to see Michael Learned from the Waltons! Loved that show‼️‼️‼️
Loved the Waltons, great movies❤😊Food looks delicious ❤😊
@@pegclinese4286Except they just did. Maybe it wasn't an overly complicated gourmet meal, but they did cook and talk and then eat what they cooked.
The WORLD.....needs more Waltons.
Super wholesome and timeless .
Thank you .❤
Thank you for watching!
The Waltons, my forever favorite tv family!!! Thank you, Judy, for these sweet, treasured videos!
Our pleasure.
Yes, definitely, this show is timeless and the characters will live in our hearts forever! Hands down, one of the best ever created.
@@alicemcleod6149 ..... Yes!!! 'Timeless', is a GREAT way to describe this amazing show!!
Hi Judy..I noticed through watching the Waltons that today's actor's don't have that dynamic family bond even years later..it's like once in a lifetime experience! Thank you ❤
We know how unusual and fortunate we all are.
Love seeing Michael learned ! She's a brilliant woman
She is indeed.

Me too on all accounts
Yes I watch all the time…
Thanks for continuing to watch.
I used to DVR certain episodes to re-watch if it was a favorite one.
Two beautiful ladies, inside and out. The genuine interactions among all the cast members are what keeps the episode’s, so special, and I cherish those days. watching you all play on The Walton’s is relevant today as it was back then at tender age of 13-14 years old, you all are so dear to my heart. ❤️😊
Thank you so mucy.
Dear to my heart...😍🤗
This is simply wonderful.

Hope your doing well, considering the sad circumstances.
So sorry for your loss. Sending you love and light. ❤
Amybeth, my heart is with you, as I’m sure is true for so many. I expect your world feels rocked off balance right now. If it helps, Huberman lab (podcast/TH-cam) has a talk (or several) on the work of grief.

She’s amazing. Love her so much.
What a treat! What I loved about Michael Learned was her ability to convey so much with just a facial expression. There were a few scenes in the Waltons when she didn't have dialogue but her expression said so much. She was a joy to watch.
:) I’ll bet you meant IS a joy to watch ;)
and will be, even for people not yet born! Though I agree with the depth of your sentiments. Great gifts
I totally agree! She is such a brilliant actress.
Great characters, great storylines, great scriptwriters, Great actors/actresses. Great wholesome family entertainment, and great memories of days of old. Thank you.

THE COOKING CHANNEL Please take note . Judy and friends would be a great cooking show that would be a success. I love this Judy 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks for the vote!
It's a testament to what a terrific character actress Michael Learned is that she's the polar opposite of Olivia Walton in person! Loved this!
Yes so true. We as fans always have to remember to separate the character they play and the real life person. Sometimes there are similarities, but sometimes not.
She is a brilliant actress, and a lovely person.
Love hearing Michael tell us how to make this getting this recipe from someone else
IT'S LIKE WATCHING THE DINNER SCENES FROM THE WALTONS ALL OVER AGAIN THE 2023 way lol
A friendly happy cookery event by two amazing women 🙏🙏😍
Thanks so much.
Yes, Michael Learned😊
Applesauce Cake👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾😊😊😊
Good to see you and Michael together. I am part Italian also, my father was Italian. His mom cooked delicious Italian food, and his Dad made the best meatballs. My mama was Irish and Swedish and she was an amazing cook and made all the Italian food also. The lasagna was phenomenal. She also baked fantastic desserts. I love spicy food, Italian food, especially garlic ❤️
My dad was italian too and my mom, also a great cook, learned to make the best italian food, esp. the lasagna (best I've ever had) as well, from his mother.
That's awesome!

The last episode I watched with you both in the kitchen you were helping Mama with canning peaches I believe in the Dust Bowl Cousins. What a way to start a Monday!!🥰
Glad you enjoyed it.
This is so much fun!!! Love your kitchen, Judy! Whatever you do, don't ask Michael to pour coffee. 😂
This was not my kitchen, but glad you liked it. I loved how colorful it was. Definitely no coffee pouring!!! lol
😂
Lol. Good one👍🏻
You two are such a good match--I enjoyed that very much!!! 🥰 And it is wonderful to see Michael thriving in her Golden Years! ❤
Thanks for joining us for this time together.

So great to have a real life experience in the kitchen together.
I was 12 years old in 1972. It was great when our family got ready to sit & watch The Waltons 🥰
Awww…. I love that.
Absolutely awesome Judy! Love you cooking with Michael.
My son's name is Michael....he said he's gonna change his name to Olivia. I laughed. We watch the Waltons every weekday at noon on METV. He has a crush on Michael...I get it totally. Thanks Judy....so looking forward to the part 2. ❤❤❤❤❤
lol - love that about the names :)
what a delight to see you both in the kitchen
Thank you.
MMMMMMM, now I'm hungry. lol. Such a beautiful kitchen. She's still momma and always will be to many of us. :) Thank you ~ Jamie & Karl Brehmer
Thanks for joining us in the kitchen :)
Wow, great chemistry and cooking is the icing on the cake
Thank you.
Well kiddo that was heart warming. Michael's voice takes me back. Love her home. What character it has! Love the recipe as well.what a treat this segment was. Looking forward to part 2. Keep up the grand work kiddo!
Was that Michaels kitchen?
It actually is someone else’s house that we made use of for a day of filming some segments. Just a “one off” :)

Happy to hear you still enjoy the show.
Spectacular!!
Thank you!!
Absolutely one of your ALL TIME BEST videos!!! A HUGE fan of Michael Learned and her body of work!
So glad you enjoyed it.
So glad to see the two of you together in a kitchen really cooking! Fifty years as friends and coworkers is awesome. You both look great. Cant wait for part two.
Thanks so. much.
Two super actresses no matter what they do
Thank you.
Very Wonderful Woman!
This was a complete delight!!!❤
So happy to hear that.
❤ The Waltons in the kitchen will always have an endearing, enduring quality, actors or characters. Lovely to see you and Michael together on screen half a century down the line! ❤❤
So fun to get to share this.
Hi Miss Judy I'm 61 but my 9 year old self who adored you both and still does wants to say I love you both for always being food for my soul God Bless You Both Goodnight Momma And Goodnight MaryEllen💖💖💖💖💖
🥰
☺️💖☺️
Thank you so much for this wonderful episode!!! Miss Learned is a gem and it is a huge treat to see you both talking and cooking!
So glad you enjoyed it.
The dynamic duo in the kitchen, well done or should I say done just right.
Thank you.
Delightful, thanks Judy! I would like Michael to know that, about this time every year, I watch her movie, A Christmas Without Snow. It's a tradition in my home.
How sweet.
I’m just thrilled having watched you both together again! I’ve never seen you in person (still hoping), but saw Michael in “Month in the Country” at the Mark Taper Forum. Michael was divine and I was over the moon. Thanks so much. This made my day Judy!
So glad. :)
Loved this. Michael is so much like Olivia in ways. She has the nurturing feeling about her as both Michael and Olivia. You just see it and hear it. The best cooks don't go by an exact recipe they just wing it a little bit. That looked very healthy and good. I'll try it. Part 2 can't wait.
Wonderful. Thanks.
I was still waiting for Michael or Judy to grab a jar of the "RECIPE" of Grandma's from under the counter to add to the dish they were cooking!
😳
Yep. That was her secret ingredient for sponge cake. 😂
I cried so much when I saw you both together, it made me feel like the old days, thanks a million for having her on your show. Cheers to MICHEAL. HI FROM LUTZ FLORIDA USA
Thanks for watching.
This segment was an absolute delight!!! Watching you two together was like magic as anyone could see the great friendship you have! Can't wait for part 2!❤❤
Lifetime bonds :)
That was fab - loved it when you called her mama. ❤❤ That looks a great recipe too. Looking forward to part two 😀
Happy to hear that.
Thanks Judy for a great visit with Mama in the kitchen.
I expected to see some walnut shelling for mama's pie.
😊
Or was that Applesauce Cake?@@judynorton2598
Omg. So excited to see you girls together!!! Please do a Waltons meet and greet near Toronto, Ontario! Love your show!
Thanks for joining us. We’d love to get to Toronto area one of these days.
What a treat having Michael and Judy cooking! Love the cooking segments and will have to try it out ✌❤
So glad you enjoyed it.
Delightful Judy! Is that your kitchen? Amazing colors and yes ladies your outfits fit perfectly with those fabulous colors! 🎉❤
Thank you. Not either of our kitchens.
@judynorton2598 thank you! 😊
It's Mama!! Just watched the episode where Mama gives the " leave the potted geranium out"advice so Mary Ellen & Curt could have some "alone time"...thank yoo Mama 🤣💞💕🩷
Love to see this. I watch the Walton's every night. One of my favorite shows.
So glad you enjoyed it.
It was so nice to see Michael and you together again.
Always great for us to spend time together.
hahaha...I am watching The Waltons right now on METV and this episode The Inferno , you are making deviled eggs . love seeing you and Michael in the kitchen again.
Awesome!
We loved you both as well. Your family was a blessing each week. Thank you.
Thank you.
Of the two couples that played your parents, Ralph and Michael were my favorite.
They were perfect together.
This actually made me cry,Judy…so wholesome❤️
🥰
Outstanding episode, and I say this before I even watch it. Thank you Judy. I've been waiting for this like you wouldn't believe. Thank you, thank you, and thank you!
Happy to be able to share this.
I can't imagine having to be my "business professional" self when out in public all the time. I totally get Michael and the pressure of keeping up an image. I'd disappoint so many 🤣🤣🤣
It is a challenge living in the public eye - impossible to please everyone.
I loved seeing Michael again. She's as beautiful as ever. And that zucchini and tomatoes dish looked delicious. Thanks for the tip about adding oil to the butter to help keep it from turning brown. I never knew that!
Our pleasure!
The hug at 9:23 of the video made me cry and Judy you said everything that could be said right in front of Michael standing right next to you. Made me cry when MICHAEL said that was so sweet for you to say that
Gee I did get a little emotional at that point myself.
There is something I just love about your kitchen episodes. Maybe it is the heart (or the stomach 😊). Great getting to see Michael! She is a very loving person.
So fun to share this visit with Michael.
That looks so yummy! I could swear I was watching "Mary Ellen" a few times and not Judy! lol ☺
The lines do blur ;)
Judy loved watching you and Michael in the kitchen and you can tell you two are special looking forward to the next one
Thanks for joining us.
I'm enjoying this video immensely, as I did all the Waltons' scenes around that kitchen table. The Waltons was so well done; it was like watching a well produced movie each week. I miss it, but happy I can still catch reruns every now and then.
Thanks for continuing to watch.
Oh how lovely to see you two together 🥰. We were raised watching the Walton’s; brings back many happy memories. Best wishes from the UK 🇬🇧. Max. X
Thanks so much! 😊
I'm binge watching all of the seasons of The Waltons on Freevee TV. I've always loved the show and started watching it when I was a little kid with my dad. I have seen every episode more than once. My favorite show 😊
I'm 60 now and was almost 9 years old when I started watching. Oct 1963 birthday ❤
Thank you so much for watching.
Great Show Judy! Thank You Ladies 💕
Our pleasure.
Such a marvelous video !!! Many blessing and a wonderful Thanksgiving to you and your families.
Thank you so much!
I can't tell you how happy I am to see you both here!! Much love! You have a beautiful kitchen, Judy. The zucchini dish looked delicious too - it's a favorite of mine. Loved hearing the memories of the relationship between Michael & Ralph & the kids. Looking forward to the next visit. ❤
Thank you! (although the kitchen is not mine :)
Judy Norton and Michael Learned are amazing people. I just love them both.
Thank you so much.
YOU ALWAYS HAVE TO DO WHAT MICHAEL TELLS YOU TO DO LOL
So true :)
There's nothing better than Italian cooking. I know.
My grandparents on both sides were from Italy. I had no idea that Momma Walton was half Italian. Although I think there was an episode were spaghetti and meatballs was served. Great video as always serving warmth and sense of family. You guys are epic. Thank you for the great memories. 🍝👍
So glad you enjoyed this.
Such a wonderful enduring episode Judy!
Thank you.
So lovely to see the 2 of you together!!
Great for us too :)
Loved this video and as I was watching it my husband (who has dementia) was watching The Waltons because he forgets what he has already seen and still just loves these shows so much. It was so good to see the two of you together and you both are still so beautiful. Judy if that is your kitchen I am in love with it as I love color so much, what a beautiful kitchen!!
Thank you. I love the colors in this kitchen, although it is not mine.
Thankyou Judy. It shows what beautiful warm people the two of you are as well as the rest of the cast. I still love the Waltons ❤
Thank you so. much.
What a special video... Thank you Ladies for making it and decades of heart warming memories!
Our pleasure.
You two are so natural together. It's obvious you are old friends. Great to see you both together again.
Thank you so much.
Judy, such an endearing episode with the both of you making more good memories! ❤
Thanks so much for watching.
