    No one could replace Richard Thomas as John Boy ..
    They tried 😶
    but his chemistry with the writing and the cast
    was magic ...
    Happy Birthday ...

    Please pass on to Richard how loyal Waltons fans are and that he is asked about often. Happy Birthday to your tv big brother. :) Thank you, Judy, for continuing to keep the fans connected.

      Yes, I felt the same way until I saw him in person last year in the role of Atticus Finch in “To Kill a Mockingbird.” After a few minutes, John Boy went away and Atticus appeared. Richard is such a versatile and talented actor. He can make any role his own.

    Happiest of birthdays to Richard, one of Americas favorite big brothers. A lovely tribute to Richard, Judy. My big brother was my hero when I was growing up in the 70’s. It seemed there wasn’t anything he couldn’t do! He’s now 63 and still my favorite! Mary

    Happy birthday, Richard! The scene where he gives you the roses brought bake fond memories of my oldest brother. He sent a corsage to our mom and me for Easter one year, even though he was in the Navy and stationed at Pearl Harbor. I was in junior high and it was the first time I had ever received flowers from anyone. I cried.

    Happy Birthday, Richard, a.k.a. John Boy!! Thanks, Judy for this touching tribute! It was very sweet even though I had to gulp the lump in my throat. My oldest brother, Doug is so much like John Boy. (Get this: Doug & I were both born redheads--the only two of the eight kids, except he let his go white; I'm too vain for that and my red-headed granddaughter wants us to continue looking alike!)

    Hello judy. I hope you see this. Ive watched the Waltons since early childhood. Im about the same age as kami. She is a year older i think. My family at the time was alot like the waltons my parents and 4 kids lived with grandma and grandpa. I used to watch the waltons with my grandparents. I have wonderful memories of that. The quilting is one of my favorite episodes. The scene at the end when you all are singing and dancing made me cry still 40 years later. I love all of you dearly. Please keep to your show going here.

    A very happy birthday to Richard Thomas!! He was great in "The Waltons" and always exuded a sense of goodness, kindness, and "everyman" gallantry and intelligence. He was great as the lead "Loser's Club" kid in "It", back in the 80s. I saw him play a bad guy in a couple movies and T.V. shows, and I was shocked at how good he was, because of his previous good-guy persona. He was very, very good as a bad guy, and really scary. A very fine actor. I would love to see him on stage.

    Nice walk down memory lane with all those stories showing how Mr. Thomas not only believably played your character's big brother but also how he in RL behaved as one when helping you deliver the best performances possible (e.g. screaming at you during your closeups when Mary Ellen accidentally sold the Baldwin Sisters' typewriter).
    BTW, you and Mr. Thomas having sons a few weeks apart and each of you meeting them but them not meeting each other it's not unlike many large families in which siblings meet each other's kids but the siblings' kids don't always meet all their 'cousins'!
    Thanks for this and Happy 73 [?!] Birthday to Mr. Thomas!

    This was a sweet watch, enjoyed the personal memory of your real brother too, Judy. The ties you share with your Walton family, gosh what a wonderful thing. Happy Birthday Richard Thomas, and I'm looking forward to watching the Waltons TV movies soon. I just got the boxed set from Amazon for 13 dollars! 😊❤

    Hi Judy, I'm an Italian viewer who followed the series when I was a teenager and if they rebroadcast it I would gladly watch it again. I remember that I really liked both you Mary Ellen and Erin.I liked all the episodes, the ones I remember in particular the ones about the ouija board, and the one where there was Ron Howard who played a boy with a fatal disease,All the Waltons have remained in my heart but Mary Ellen and Erin in particular, bye♥️🌹

    I used to watch the Waltons on TV when I was in high school. I remember my history teacher, one of my favorites in high school, said during one of his lectures, "Life is not like the Waltons." I was devastated. I had a huge crush on John Boy. You two were my favorite characters on the show, and then, of course, Grandpa. 🎂Happy Birthday to Richard Thomas, a fine actor and dancer! 😍

    I've had the pleasure of seeing Mr. Thomas on stage four times. He was great each time, and "Mockingbird" fits him like a glove. He is brilliant as Atticus. I would go see him again in that production in a heartbeat. Wishing a very Happy Birthday to a superlative actor.

    Hello Judy and Happy Birthday Richard!! What great scenes and moments you shared with us. I think one of my favorites was from the Minstrel when Mary Ellen is making her way back home from Jamie and runs into John Boy, I always felt that the bond was so special he knew which direction to look for his sister even though he told daddy she was on her way back. This is an example of siblings intuition, John Boy & Mary Ellen had it. Thank you so MUCH Judy!! Have a very Blessed Birthday Richard!! 🥰
