    I'm just now watching this interview. I always loved how they brought on characters that were related to other characters. Flossie Brimmer's character always seemed like just another neighbor until her phenomenal performance in The Firestorm. Flossie's niece playing a girlfriend for Jim Bob seemed so natural. Debbie you look amazing. We Waltons fans appreciate you!

He and his new wife are going to Virginia on a small vacation. They are planning to go to the Waltons' replica. He wants to show his new wife the beauty of the show so the waltons are loved by the second generation.! Thanks, Judy, for perpetuating the life of this special show!!

    Debbie, thank you so much for coming here and reflecting. I look forward to the rest of the conversation and glad to see you're doing well.
    As Judy said, all of us have a shared love of the Waltons, whether it's a cast member from all the seasons or folks from behind the scenes.
    To paraphrase some of Earl Hamner's epilogues: Whenever I watch the Waltons I am instantly transported back to our home on Thursday nights, with my mother and sometimes my grandmother to enjoy a bygone time but also a sense of togetherness that I only truly appreciate now, all these years later.

    Having these cast members who were cast only once or maybe twice and sometimes as a different character is so much fun for us, the faithful viewers of the Waltons from way long ago, to see what they look like today, and to hear from their perspective how they thought about the Waltons and to hear what they share of their own personal memories of their one time spotlight on the Waltons that I want to make sure they all know they are loved and appreciated so much not only today but back then as well. Every person who showed up on the Waltons was a beautiful part of the intrigue and interest of the episode and we the faithful viewers were scrutinizing as well as enjoying every word and move and every prop or attire or hairstyle they used or wore, said or did. Thanks to Debbie Gunn and all those who reach out to be interviewed today on Judy's channel! ❤ You are adored!

    Judy, thanks so much for creating the environment that engages Walton's alum sharing such beautiful stories! Debbie, thank you for sharing the story about the fan and light in the 'broom closet.' I can just picture that and love the behind-the-scenes imaginative creativity. I dont keep a FB account! I might have to set up an account just to engage with The Walton's Forum you mentioned! I thought it was special that Mrs Brimmer seemed to be lending a hand raising her niece ~ Patsy. Mrs Brimmer reminded me a lot of a very kind Pennsylvania Dutch neighbor woman whose children were grown. She helped take care of me for a time. So, I quite related to your Patsy character though nothing quite as glamorous as engaging with The Walton's. I can see you approaching the Camera operators and wanting to peek through the lense. Bright children are always curious to learn. I look forward to Part 2 of your interview with Judy! For the longest time I felt a bit of a quaint thing because I liked the Walton's so much. Judy, it's lovely learning there are so very many fans just as I am! "The world according to The Walton's..." Have a wonderful weekend both of you and Walton's everywhere! ❤

    Debbie, I was so glad to see that you consented to speak to us. As Judy could tell you, I am a recent but nevertheless big fan of The Waltons and of Judy. I did not get to see the show when it was first on because I was busy with my own life with law school, the military, and a wife and kids in the nine years you were on. But now that I have retried from law practice and have been a shut in as a result of serious illness, watching the show and Judy's You Tube has been one of the few joys of my day.
    I do rememeber you from the episode of "The Rivalry" No one could forget that beautiful girl with a sweet smile and a picnic basket. Thats why I was somewhat surprised to see Jim Bob say that he forgot your date with him. But then I do also remember that he put Jennifer Jason Leigh on a bus out of his life. Now I know why the Air Force rejected him for bad eyesight. Judy, the familly needs to have an intervention with that boy concerning the opposite sex LOL. He needs to know that cars and planes are neat but they can't keep your feet warm on a cold winter's night or get up and cook breakfast in the morning.
    The minute I saw you in that role Debbie I was hoping that you would possibly be back as a regular. Unfortunately for me and the rest of the Walton audience it was not to be, so I am glad to know that you have had a full and happy since those days and I wish you the absolute best for the rest of what I hope is a long life.
    And Judy, thank you for doing all this for the fans of the show. I know that you are often up late answering or responding to all of our comments because I look at the time of your posts and subtract to hours to central time. And as always I look forward to seeing you in person again sometime soon and next time I may not need that wheel chair.

      She got a weekend job at some big conference in San Francisco in which fabulously successful came in to ggive motivational speeches to God knows who--homeless people?
      Anyway she said that hher job was to fit everyone with body mikes and they all came in with their entourages. All except one, who came in by himself and looked like he was losr----Ronnie Howard ! He came in casually and afterwards had even forgot to have a car waiting so Annie found him a ride to his hotel.

    Judy, thank you for the range of guests on your program and to see your reactions to their memories.Debbie,my parents emigrated from Ireland in the mid fifties and my mother had two sisters that lived in England. We were always excited when we would receive a box of treats or candy for the Christmas holiday each year and my father loved the plum pudding. Judy and Debbie thank you for the wonderful memories you created on The Waltons.

      I was watching Little House on the Prairie recently and saw Todd Bridges. Who I believe played Josh Foster and Solomon in the wisdom of Solomon, what is he doing now? I liked this interview.

      Oh I can so relate to this! The brown paper packages tied with string, the Cadbury bars, plum puddings! We are not far from the same experiences! I used to smell the package to feel close to my granddad. Thank you for watching!

      Thank you so much for replying, I also remember receiving a box of Roses chocolates from my grandmother's and my godmother who is from Ireland would make my parents a fruitcake every holiday and it would last until Easter. Sadly, most of my family is deceased but the memories you brought back make me very happy. Again, thank you for responding and being a part of such an iconic series I found part one of your interview fascinating. Best wishes.

    Thank you, Judy & Debbie!
    The Waltons is one of my favorites and was my family's as well. So many wonderful characters & the storylines were always good. (Even when things were a bit off from the history).
    Looking forward to part 2
