It's remarkable how many of the original cast members returned for this reunion. So rare in the industry, but a testament to the family atmosphere the cast members felt by being part of this very special community. Happy Thanksgiving, Judy, and everyone!
Hi Shyman! Happy Thanksgiving weekend to you and yours! Your contribution/comments to Judy's Channel since its inception are just crazy wonderful! 🤩🤩❤🧡💛
@@LisaLisa-2023 - Hi LisaLisa! Thanks so much for the wonderful comment. Just returned from a family gathering and what a special treat to read your message upon my return. My best to you and your family as well.
@@shyman99 Hi Shyman, I never post what I don't mean sincerely 😁 Youre very welcome. And please keep posting away! I will always be back to read yours 😉👍 🎄
Yes full reunions are rare. Not necessarily because of bad feelings, thankfully. They went on with their lives andscheduling doesn't always co-operate for full reunions. That is probably why Richard Thomas was not there.
That's what made the Waltons so great. It's real life situations that many people can relate too. Love the Walton reunions. I was disappointed when the show ended; but the reunions kept the audience up to date on the Walton family. Just a wonderful show. Thank God for reruns!! Happy Thanksgiving Judy!!
This was a blessing to watch, Judy. A nice touch for my Thanksgiving Day. I never saw the reunion specials. This would have been a great one to have seen. It was so nice to see all of you looking so grownup. Not as grownup as you all are now but very close to it. The Walton’s was the one TV family I always wanted to be part of. It seemed so real. There was lots of love mixed with corrections in behavior leaving me with a nice warm feeling which I did not always feel with other relatives. Thank you so much for still doing these, Judy. It means a lot.
It was a great reunion movie. Glad to see the entire cast back for it. It was good to see that some things stayed the same and that some things did change, as it should have. We saw all the things we were expected to see, with some improvements. Made more believable. It was great that this special was happening n Thanksgiving as it is the time when we all gather as a family. Happy Thanksgiving. 🙂
I was in the 7th grade when President Kennedy was assassinated. (Yes, I’m old). I was in 5th period Math class when the principal came on the intercom and made the sad announcement. It’s one of those major events in life that you remember exactly where you were. I love this reunion movie. Even with the timeline inconsistencies, missing children, etc, it’s always good to see the Walton family together once again. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. 🍁🦃🍂
Judy, I remember seeing that special all too well. I could not believe how much I had missed Richard in that role. He just brought the entire movie to life. He really made that role his own. Love your channel. Keep up the amazing work!
Happy Thanksgiving, Judy! And all of the cast of one of my favorite family-values TV shows. As I have said before, I grew up in a large family of 13. We never got too attached to any particular house or farm because we rented those farms, located in Southeastern Ohio, Washington County. We moved regularly and didn't start buying a house until around 1974. Sadly, we had to leave that house too, because the land started slipping away and we woke up one Sunday morning to find a boulder as big as car, sitting in the front yard. And our garden spot was covered in about 4 feet of mud. So that is when we moved just across the Ohio River, to St. Marys, West Virgina. A little town of about 2,800 people. After my father passed away in 1985, my mother moved into an apartment building up the street from the house. That is when my wife and I decided to buy the family home from my mother. That was April, 1987, and I am still living here. My wife passed away from lung cancer and our son is now a journalist, living in Charleston, WV. That leaves me here, alone in a 3 bedroom house. I served 6 years in the Marine Corps, worked as a 9-1-1 Dispatcher for 23 years and then worked inside a medium-security state prison for 4 years. So.....I've lived quite a diverse life and I also build high-end desktop computers as a hobby. I am also a Christian music recording artist and drummer. It's been quite a ride.
Happy Thanksgiving, Judy. I still watch the Waltons every night while snuggled in my bed. I just keep watching the episodes repeatedly. Just love the show.❤️
This was a lovely reunion movie. Nice some of the original writers and director returned. And of course all the original cast members reprising their roles was excellent. All the guys and gals had great hairdos so props to hair and makeup. They indeed did a good job reconstructing the original house! I’m sure Waltons fans would love a new reunion movie if it is at all possible. It could take place in the 1990’s…
Unfortunately I think the opportunity to have a new reunion passed. Earl Hamner is gone, Ralph Waite is gone, and the CW already tried a new reboot that didn't take off.
Such an awesome episode Judy, you make it so interesting, and personal! What a great reunion special this was , and as always , very heart touching ! Thanks for your time in getting this program together , and have a blessed Thanksgiving !!
❤❤❤❤❤❤A very Blessed Thanksgiving to you Judy your family Waltons family and all here and please 🙏 I’m hoping for another reunion, your wonderful Judy and the family cast!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤
Wow, thank you Judy for doing this. I remember watching the Waltons growing up. No one on our block ever missed an episode and then walking to school the next day we would discuss it. Happy Thanksgiving Judy.
This was delightful, thank you for sharing! All through the Seasons, and the movies, I could never figure out why they wanted to build a house on the mountain. In my opinion, then and now, there could never be a house better than the one they had.
The best part of the reunion movie was Richard Thomas coming back as our “John Boy”! It really is like being a part of the family for most of us who grew up watching the Walton’s. I think we considered you “ours”because we had connected with all of you through the many episodes. We were invested! Thank you for this warm reminder of a simpler time. Mary
The writers did a good job bringing back all of the characters & weaving storylines for everyone. An enjoyable reunion movie for sure. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Judy for all of the great memories from the Waltons. It’s nice to have you explain the shows from your point of view. I hope that you and your family have a great Thanksgiving.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family! And ,firstly,I would like to thank you,Judy,for being so dedicated to your fans,and your fantastic channel. Now,I say fans,but I actually mean the Walton's family fans,and this sets the Waltons apart from other classic shows. The fan club is actually a family club,which seems to be getting stronger with the years,and this is a testament to the incredible vision created by Earl Hamner back in 1971,the hard work and talent of a group of perfectly synchronized actors and an intelligent team of directors,writers,producers,and other crew members. The fact that you give of your time, today,Judy to create this comprehensive and lovely segment for us,the Waltons family fans,is why we continue to love the Waltons and appreciate the positive influence it has had,and for that we are thankful!!
I really enjoy listening to you talking about the episodes and the behind the scenes of the Walton's especially the Thanksgiving Reunion movies take care and have a wonderful Thanksgiving Judy.🇺🇲🦃📺🥧🇺🇲
Hello and Happy Thanksgiving, Judy blessings to you and your family and friends. Thank you for sharing this reunion, I enjoyed listening to you on this show. I've always loved this family show. There's nothing like it today, and I miss that. Take care and enjoy your family time.
I have not yet watched this episode yet, but it is on my bucket list as well as the post-series specials ..wow look at Elizabeth all grown up ! Happy Thanksgiving Judy and all the viewers here !!.❤
Hi Judy, Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. So many things happening on this Thanksgiving reunion. It's absolutely wonderful! Thanks for sharing Judy!
Each year I watch "The Thanksgiving Story" with much love. I absolutely love every epidote of this awesome series so much that I purchased it along with all of the movies. I watched "The Awakening" episode in Season 2 and wanted to share with you my perception of the lake scene. To help you remember, you are walking in the water along the edge of the lake when a young man comes along and visits with you. He kisses you. You are standing in the water with the sun behind your back. Judy, you looked so beautiful standing there with the sun shimmering on the water. Your face looked so beautiful and innocent. You looked so soft. Simply beautiful Judy. Thank you. Love your videos.
Just a note to all the fans: I watch the series, The Waltons, on Hallmark Family channel. Hallmark Family channel shows 3 episodes every weekday afternoon and again every weekday evening. Over the holidays, they will often show all the Reunion Movies as well. A few weeks ago the channel featured the whole series, from start to finish, 24 hours a day: it took over a week to show every single episode! (And no, I didn’t stay up to watch each episode😁) I do, however, watch most every day, usually the nighttime episodes. It calms me to watch, after an otherwise tough day. The show is comforting to me.❤️ Thank you Judy, for your TH-cam videos.
This movie is notable as the last appearances of a few Waltons characters. It's the last time we see Aimee Godsey, Cindy, Cousin Rose, and Yancy Tucker. I remember seeing this when it first aired. My family and I watched it together. I remember that, when Corabeth is going on about how old she felt, Ike said, "You don't look a day older than you did the day we got married." My brother Bruce remarked, "She was an old bat back then," and we had a good laugh. Now I don't see Corabeth like my brother saw her, as I appreciated her tastes, but I realized the character could be difficult, but she had many redeemable traits, like her sense of beauty/decor, and her opening up far more storylines for Joe Conley/Ike Godsey. I've always loved Joe's portrayal of Ike, and the arrival of Corabeth gave him so much more of a story arc. I also remember being very downcast at that time about the 30-year mark of Kennedy's assassination in Dallas. This Waltons movie really helped me (and millions of others) feel better about it. Judy, you help me so much in sharing these videos, you really do help lighten the load for me and so many other people. Thanks so much.
It's interesting how the filmmakers got rid of the Walton grandkids who were born during the series who would all be young adults in the reunion films and just replaced them with younger kids. And that they didn't think the fan base would notice the discontinuity. The audience for these reunion movies would be the most diehard Walton fans who would be looking for John Curtis, Virginia and Charlie.
Appreciate the Topic lol as it's my favorite topic!! "food" lol & Especially the "turkey dinner with all the trimmings"! Lol I get 2 as Canada's is in October and I cannot bring myself on missing the USA one as well! Lol to bad there isn't 2 Xmas lol even more turkey with Chestnut & Sasage dressing mmmm!🤗 cranberries too! Lol sorry I got off the subject talking food! Pumpkin Pie 🥧 too! Thanks Judy⚘️ for the Magic of Walton's! Appreciate you & the efforts you put into these posts! Thanks Luv&Peace ❤✌️🤝💫
@@barbarabavier675 A minor point really, but I always settled on JB being born in 1917, which would have made him 16 in 1933 (and still in high school) at the beginning of the show. I was irritated by the “Peter Pan” age magic in this show and others. I know it is just a story, but It ruins the continuity. A producer saying that the fans won’t remember (as in Charlie) seems a bit dismissive of true fans and also an excuse for lazy writing. Of course I watched it anyway, but it was annoying.
Great reunion movie and a great way to bring everything up to date with the family even if there were continuity errors/missing children, different children and name changes(preacher)😂. It'll soon be time to watch The Homecoming in the run up to Christmas. Thank you Judy for this in-depth behind the scenes, happy thanksgiving and best wishes to you as always from your waltonian superfan in a chilly cold England😉
Dear DarkVader and Vader Family! Happy Thanksgiving Holiday weekend to you in Chilly Cold and Beloved England! I am so thankful for Judy's channel, which brought us all together in this one comforting place, with laughter and some misty-eyed tears along the way. Your parental advice will always be remembered. Thank you, DarkVader, to you all and to our Grandchildren (hee hee, yet to come!).🤠🧡💛💚🦃 PS We are eating Chicken! 😁
@LisaLisa-2023 Hi Lisa Lisa, Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours. It is not a holiday weekend for us here in England but the next holiday will be Christmas. You are right, Judy has really created something so wonderful with her channel for all us like minded fans.😃
@@darkvader7231 DarkVader, I keep thinking you are right next door to us, and in many ways, you are! Please pardon my lack of holiday knowledge. I did the same to you on Halloween. Sheesh. We shall celebrate brilliantly on Christmas! and every day until then because DarkVader, each day as our children grow up, we grow even faster, it seems. But you know what? With Judy's Channel, we get to revisit the memories as we make new ones each day. 🤩🤩
Hi Judy, Thank you for this wonderful video. Its main plot focuses on President Kennedy's assassination, which reminds me of two things: 1 My parents's wedding anniversary and 2 my sad loss and death of my husband. At least the anniversary was a happy day. Yes, we all have a lot to appreciate this year, and for me, that includes the cast, crew, and their families for a series called The Waltons.
As to John Curtis and Charlie? By '63 they would both have been in their 20s I think. I always just figured they had moved off somewhere as kids do sometimes and were out there living their lives. A mention as to what they were up to would have been nice though. MY biggest question was always "What happened to the new mill??" John and Ben seem to be back using the old setup attached to the barn. 🤔
@@krill173 Hi the show judy talked about here there was another one a day of thanks on Walton's mountain just the dad was on there cause the mom was still recovering i liked the one where john boys wife had twins.
Good points. I figured John Curtis was away at college - but seemed easy to have some line that he had other plans for Thanksgiving. As for the new mill - I guess when they had to rebuild the house after the back lot fire they didn’t rebuild the new mill.
Happy Thanksgiving, Judy! This is my favorite Walton reunion, and I believe it is because so many of the cast members were in it, and all of the family members were given story lines. Thanks for sharing this on Thanksgiving!
I grew up watching the Waltons and watch it every chance I get. Although I was born in the late 60s, I can relate so much with the Walton family. My parents were both raised during the depression and while growing up, I was taught the same values that were instrumental in the show. I love and cherish this show so much. Thank you so much, Judy, for sharing these wonderful memories and stories with us.

Happy Thanksgiving Judy (alias Mary Ellen). Perhaps one of the very best episodes. The world needs the Walton’s!
🥰
The Waltons was such a great show!!!
Thank you.
It doesn't matter how many times I watch any episode or movies of the Waltons it makes me happy 🧡
Happy Thanksgiving to all 🎉
Yay! So glad.

When is the best TV shows ever in my opinion! Happy Thanksgiving
The best!
Happy Thanksgiving to Judy and all the other Walton cast members, whom we love and are second family to us fans.
Thank you so much.
John Walton was definitely a man of strong moral character and convictions ❤ the way he was written for the show made it easy to root for him 😊
I agree. He was a terrific role model - easy to root for!
Happy Thanksgiving Judy to you and your family

A producer saying that the fans won’t remember (as in Charlie) seems a bit dismissive of true fans and also an excuse for lazy writing. Of course I watched it anyway, but it was annoying.
Those timelines definitely got fudged a lot :)
@@judynorton2598 I had a hard time processing all the time lines in my brain but still enjoyed The Waltons.
@@catherinethibeault6636Exactly.
@@catherinethibeault6636he was born in 1916. According to the series he graduated in 1934 when he was 18.
I had always loved the episodes of the Waltons on daily basis when it would come on television. It just brings back memories of the good old days.
I’m so glad.
Judy, hope you and your family had a blessed Thanksgiving.
Happy Thanksgiving Day Judy - Mary Ellen 😊 🦃
Thank you.
Great reunion movie and a great way to bring everything up to date with the family even if there were continuity errors/missing children, different children and name changes(preacher)😂. It'll soon be time to watch The Homecoming in the run up to Christmas. Thank you Judy for this in-depth behind the scenes, happy thanksgiving and best wishes to you as always from your waltonian superfan in a chilly cold England😉
Dear DarkVader and Vader Family! Happy Thanksgiving Holiday weekend to you in Chilly Cold and Beloved England!
I am so thankful for Judy's channel, which brought us all together in this one comforting place, with laughter and some misty-eyed tears along the way. Your parental advice will always be remembered. Thank you, DarkVader, to you all and to our Grandchildren (hee hee, yet to come!).🤠🧡💛💚🦃 PS We are eating Chicken! 😁
@LisaLisa-2023 Hi Lisa Lisa, Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours. It is not a holiday weekend for us here in England but the next holiday will be Christmas. You are right, Judy has really created something so wonderful with her channel for all us like minded fans.😃
Thank you so much. Glad you were able to enjoy it even with those points ;)
@@darkvader7231 DarkVader, I keep thinking you are right next door to us, and in many ways, you are! Please pardon my lack of holiday knowledge. I did the same to you on Halloween. Sheesh. We shall celebrate brilliantly on Christmas! and every day until then because DarkVader, each day as our children grow up, we grow even faster, it seems. But you know what? With Judy's Channel, we get to revisit the memories as we make new ones each day. 🤩🤩
@LisaLisa-2023 So true, onwards and upwards is my motto as well as live and let live. New memories are just as sweet as old ones.☺️
Happy Thanksgiving dear Judy!
Thanks so much
Happy Thanksgiving!!

So glad.
Happy Thanksgiving Judy and Walton fans
Hope everyone had a great celebration.
Great video Judy good episode again😊
Glad you enjoyed it
Happy Thanksgiving 🦃
Same to you!
Love the show and movies, I'd like to see a new reunion with the original cast
Thank you. That would be fun.
@@judynorton2598 You guys were great! my favorite show ever.
I also don't miss any of your videos
Happy Thanksgiving, Ms. Judy to you and your family. God's speed. Loved The Waltons Thanksgiving Reunion ❤.
Hi Judy, Thank you for this wonderful video. Its main plot focuses on President Kennedy's assassination, which reminds me of two things: 1 My parents's wedding anniversary and 2 my sad loss and death of my husband. At least the anniversary was a happy day. Yes, we all have a lot to appreciate this year, and for me, that includes the cast, crew, and their families for a series called The Waltons.
I can see how that would be mixed memories - happy and sad at the same time. 🙏
Loved your show, dear, thanks for the memories!
Our pleasure!
Happy Thanksgiving Judy
As to John Curtis and Charlie? By '63 they would both have been in their 20s I think. I always just figured they had moved off somewhere as kids do sometimes and were out there living their lives. A mention as to what they were up to would have been nice though. MY biggest question was always "What happened to the new mill??" John and Ben seem to be back using the old setup attached to the barn. 🤔
@@krill173 Hi the show judy talked about here there was another one a day of thanks on Walton's mountain just the dad was on there cause the mom was still recovering i liked the one where john boys wife had twins.
Good points. I figured John Curtis was away at college - but seemed easy to have some line that he had other plans for Thanksgiving. As for the new mill - I guess when they had to rebuild the house after the back lot fire they didn’t rebuild the new mill.
Happy Thanksgiving, Judy! This is my favorite Walton reunion, and I believe it is because so many of the cast members were in it, and all of the family members were given story lines. Thanks for sharing this on Thanksgiving!
I loved that as well.
Happy Thanksgiving, Judy!
🥰
The subplot dealing with the Kennedy assassination was heartbreaking.
I never get tired of watching reruns of the Walton's! I love all of y'all watching from Savannah Georgia!!❤
Thank you so much.
I grew up watching the Waltons and watch it every chance I get. Although I was born in the late 60s, I can relate so much with the Walton family. My parents were both raised during the depression and while growing up, I was taught the same values that were instrumental in the show. I love and cherish this show so much. Thank you so much, Judy, for sharing these wonderful memories and stories with us.
My pleasure. Thanks for watching.
I liked I believe the Christmas special. Where John Curtis says that’s his friend a picture of grandpa. It was a moving scene.❤
That was in the Thanksgiving movie from 1982 (Hallmark was running it last night).
Yes - that was a sweet story.
Thank you Judy
