The Waltons - David Doremus Part 3 - behind the scenes with Judy Norton 

As an extra comment,I just wanted to add that I thought it was so sweet to hear that David Doremus and David Harper are good friends. They appear both so intelligent in a laid back,humble kind of way. And as you said,the Waltons family members stick together. All of you are special in unique ways!

I agree with his "take" on it, it broke my heart! ❤

I had 6 children and we always said a Walton goodnight. I brought them up Walton style, always. What a lovely man David is too.

Nice to see a third part of the interview with David and great to see that he is doing great today in 2024 and i turn 60 on the 14th🎂so Thank You for the awesome memories and Thank You Judy.🇺🇲📺🇺🇲

It made me so happy when he said he talks to David Harper all the time and sees him as a little brother. That is so sweet, I'm glad they still talk.

Great interview! David and David staying close is heartwarming. I remember Jim Bob feeling so guilty after GW died in "The First Casualty."

What a great surprise on a Saturday morning, Thank you Judy and David for a great interview.

*David had a photographic memory if he could read and remember the script in an hour... and not everyone can do that. 🙂 Judy I have really enjoyed all 3 parts of your interview with David. They have been the most relaxed interviews. I hope at some stage you will have him back on again... and also you both continue your friendship forever, as he is truly one of the Walton's family.🙂 Hope you are having a lovely weekend 🙂nz*

I was just telling my Sweet Babboo....aka....my husband, how much I enjoyed your talks with David as he seems very down to earth and very at ease. Just like he's a family member.

That's perfect: "Youre in our hearts!" I hope we're in your hearts too! Blessings to Walton's everywhere!❤

Yaaayyy David is back! Part 3🎉 I soooo loved him as the character GW he was perfect to play the part! He seems like a genuine great guy in real life❤️

I just finished watching an episode of The Waltons on Freevee (Season 8, where Mary Ellen takes over Nora the Nurses job on horseback) and thought I’d come over to RU-vid to see if there was a new Judy Norton video. Yes! Thank you Judy and David! 😊🎉🎉

Thank you David for coming to visit with Judy on her program. Good to see you.

David touched us growing up❤

What an absolute gent. Thankyou so much for having him on your show. He was delightful in real life just as much as he was as GW.

What a treat to hear about David's life! Thank you Judy for bringing David to us.

Hello Judy. What a pleasant surprise. It is such a joy being able to catch up on the lives of so many characters from the Waltons. I appreciate the show more now that I am older. Keep up the great work!🎉❤

Thank you, yet another absolutely wonderful chat session with David. Enjoy it. Thank you for the great work, as always.❤😊

I'm so glad that they never killed off a Walton family member as such albeit it was very sad to see others getting killed or dying. David is a special soul and this video held my attention throughout just like parts 1 and 2. Thank you Judy for a great bonus segment today and best wishes as always come your way from your waltonian superfan in a dull, overcast and damp England😉.

Thank-you Guest Judy on Video Talking about the Walton show 👍 ❤🎉😊🥰😇🌹🌟❤️🧡🌟👋

Thanks, Judy! :) So good to see GW now!!! And seeing his highlights, once again, from the past.

David is SO right--you all DID make your characters "come to life" for your audience--and maybe for each other. David is so down-to-earth and comfortable in his own skin. He doesn't have to put on airs or over-act; he is real, believable, charming and witty. I could see David having a good friendship with David Harper, who is also quite grounded, yet creative and insightful. Thanks, Judy for making his visit into three enjoyable segments. Another triumph!

I Could Listen To Him All-day! Really Enjoyed This!

Thank you for having David on for an interview. I had such a crush on him on the Waltons. 😍

I loved Nanny and the Professor 💗

This was wonderful. I did watch Nanny and the Professor when I was a kid. But, it's been so many years since I've seen it. Thank you David. This has been fun.

Ms. Norton, once again thank you for teaming up with Mr. Doremus for your 3-parter about his career and how he went about things as a young actor. Really appreciated his insights about his time on "Nanny and the Professor" in Part 3. Sorry about pestering you about bringing Mr. Doremus on, but I really wanted to hear from him, so this was wonderful for me and many of your channel's devoted fans.

Enjoyed the Nanny and the Professor stories and relationships. Glad that David is good friends with David Halper.

Thank you Judy for the wonderful discussion with David Doremus. He seems to be such a thoughtful and introspective guy. The fact that he mentioned the continued tradition of "Good night " from The Waltons with his own family was sweet because i agree that is something in our hearts. Interesting to hear about his experience too on Nanny and the Professor, that was a great show. I always felt that GW and Erin would have made a good couple ❤

Loved seeing him again. Great interview!👍

It was sad that GW was killed off, it was so easy for the show to do it given what was going in the world doing that era. And David, another person who got to work with and meet some Iconic impressive people Mr. George Burns. How great is that. Great segment once again Judy. 🙂

Loved the interview! ❤ You are the best!

The scene where John reads the letter to Erin from GW after he has passed away, I cry , Hard , every time. Nice to hear David's stories from Nanny and the Professor show. Thanks for the interview.

I really enjoyed this, so good to see David. Looking forward to your next segment. God Bless and take care Judy. ♥

I cried my heart out we loved GW❤

Hi Judy this was so fun listening to David and you I really like listening to him see you in the next one have a great weekend

Hello…great to see you…hope you are well!❤️

David mentions his agent Mary Grady. She was a well-regarded agent for child actors for many years, and she just passed away a year or two ago. Mary Grady was also the mother of Don Grady (Robbie on My Three Sons) and Lani O’Grady (Mary on Eight is Enough).

Thank you, Judy and David!

Judy, I so loved you talking with David. I was glued to every word. What a great guy and I remember him on both the Waltons and Nanny and the Professor. I hope you have more talks here with him. My favorite one you've done so far.. Judy and David you both are awesome and thank you.

Happy 😊 Saturday Judy 🎉❤😊😊😊😊

Thanks, Judy and David, for sharing all your great memories. Your videos are always so interesting and enjoyable.

Hello Judy and David! I have more than enjoyed my time with you both! It's been wonderful! I used to love watching Nanny and the Professor. Thank you for sharing your memories! I had forgotten about Trent till you brought it up so sad I know that was difficult for you all. It's funny that you bring up the goodnight and how it has impacted your family. I think it has many families more than they realize. My kids don't live with me anymore, but we text each other goodnight every night before going to bed. I would say that is because of the Waltons. Thank you both so MUCH again!! 🥰

Thank-you Nice Videos Judy About Walton family And Friends 🧡 ❤❤❤😊😊😊

Do happy David talked about Nanny & the Professor. Ehat a great show that was! He didnt mention Juliet Mills though. 🤔 Thanks for sharing!

Great seeing him, again . I wish he had commented on his best scene ans episode When Erin went to visit him at camp . Such a powerful scene when he went back to the Barracks and guys started questioning him , David was such a natural for the role

Thank you Judy and David!! I thought the death of GW was unnecessary and added nothing to the show. It seemed like Elizabeth got the storyline that Erin should have had with GW.

GW (David) is so Cool and down to earth I'd love to hang out with GW and Maryellen and the whole cast from the Waltons kids they feel like family to me . I grew up with all of you from the age of 11 in 72 I so look forward to your next episode Judy thank you so much for these memories thanks again. ♡♡♡

You are awesome at what you do. You've always been my favorite from an amazing show

God❤ The Walton 👍 show ⭐️ 🌟 🌞 🏡 ❤😊❤

Loved this. Thank you

Thankyou for sharing.

Mr. Doremus was quite philosophical re having learned of G.W.'s death in advance and how he conducted himself as a performer with the rest of the cast- to say nothing of how he was surprised how upset it made the fans. Interesting,too, that his having been raised by a military father to focus on ontask conversations rather than to get distracted by offtask toys opened the door to the agent Mary Grady taking him on as a client when he was a young child. BTW, it needs to be noted that Mrs. Grady was the mother of the performers Don Grady (who played the hot-tempered,intense Robbie on 'My Three Sons' before becoming a renowned musical composer including the 'Donahue' theme) and the tragic Lani O'Grady (who played the eldest daughter Mary on 'Eight is Enough'). .and their actual surname was Agrati. Yes, it was sad that he wasn't able to get together with his troubled onetime 'Nanny and the Professor' costar before the latter's suicide but I hope he realizes that them at least talking a last time may have been a bright spot in the last part of that man's life. On a happier note, great that he's resumed his friendship with Mr. Harper in recent years. Also, fantastic that he took the whole "Goodnight, John-Boy!" with him to use re his own RL family to the present day to bond! BTW, I DID see Part Two but didn't comment on it in time. However, I thought it was a bit much that they had G.W.'s horse behind a barbed wire fence which, regardless of young Mr. Doremus's whether jaunty athletic leap over it had been successful, could have easily risked the human and equine performers getting sliced- as opposed to a more conventional [and attractive] wooden fence. Anyway, thanks so much for this!

This has been so interesting and enjoyable. Thanks for sharing this conversation. Please keep us updated on David. He seems to be the good man we would think he would be.

That was fun thank you

I remember Richard Long being in Nanny & The Professor. I believe that was his last show he was in. I knew he played the oldest Barkley son in The Big Valley. I had a feeling it was rough on David Doremus when Richard Long passed away. Prayers everyone remains well

Happy Saturday Miss Judy, & David this video was interesting, & fun to watch. Have a wonderful Autum🍂🍁

“ for it’s one, two, three strikes your out! at the old ⚾️ ball game “ Miss Judy getting it done today with an extra special installment weekend featurette. ❤Judy that catcher’s mitt sounded more like it was carved out of wood with very little movement to catch a fast ball. Modern versions are much more user friendly and more supple construction. Looks like extra innings Judy and look forward to future additions 😊.

What a lovely person David is.

How enjoyable to see David again! Thanks, Judy.❤️

Such a great interview...why didn't you ask him about his life after he left show business? Maybe, another interview is in the future, with him? Hopefully.

I’m rewatching the Walton’s and yesterday was GW’s death 😞 I didn’t remember it and boy it made me cry. Great memories. Thank you!

David was a really natural character, really down to earth and clearly gifted. You and him really click together as you seem like great mates in real life as much as on screen. I apprecaite this interview.

I had the joy of meeting David in 2017, along with many other Waltons' cast members (some for the second time). Like all of you, David is a genuinely lovely person. Thank you, Judy, for this 3-parter. I really enjoyed it! And I do wish Erin had married GW! The episode in which GW is killed still makes me cry. ❤

I am so happy to know that David still excepts all the Walton cast as Family that must be such a great feeling. ❤

Judy thank you for having David on your show. I always loved him as GW on the Walton's. He was wonderful in the field with Mary Mcdonough as he told her about the army. They were such a cute couple.❤

I really enjoyed the interview with David. He is so interesting and down to earth. I certainly remember him as a child watching Nanny and the Professor so I was happy to also hear his experience there. And of course, I loved him as GW.

GW was such a cute "kid" on the show, and now he's such a handsome man. Thank you for the interview with David Doremus. I enjoyed it very much!

David is a delight. I’m glad you had him on! How fun that he does a Walton’s goodnight! Mary

Enjoyed all three of these so much!!!♥

Love how David shares but does not seem like bragging." Good night ginger bread goat" (season 6:11 The Flight). So true about Waltons traditions! I see a future show called Waltons Generations. We need a family show with depth on prime time and not another superficial cop crime show or sitcom. Thank you David for the explanation about why GW was killed. It made sense but the grenade throw delay seemed out of character. They should have said you were saving another soldier from a runaway vehicle. Come back and tell us what you did after show business and why you left. Thank you, Judy !!

I wasn't able to watch the "Nanny And The Professor" I guess our 3 channels didn't aired it. It sounds like it was a sweet show. 🤠

I would like to ask David : Nanny and The Professor was canceled rather suddenly, were there any episodes written or filmed in production that were scrapped. ?

Great interview

Good day Judy, Judy for prez 2024... Why? Because she delivers. You delivered another great ( unexpected ) episode with DD. It was interesting to hear him talk about GW being killed off. Actors are killed off for different reasons. Like asking for a raise or wanting to be released from their contract. Next thing you know that actor was written off as having died in a car accident or had a fatal fall off a cliff or something. D. Harper is just a good friend that stays in contact with DD and Hal Williams and others. D.H. is just someone you want in your life. DD is a fun guy that brings a smile to your face. Well done 3 part series. Have a question for you. What season would you call your favorite season of the Waltons? Thanks Judy.

Great episode Judy.

Loved Dave’s character as GW. Sad when he didn’t return. His role and acting was a nice touch to the Waltons. Also it was so nice to experience how the Waltons always accepted the various characters as family.

GW was one of my favorites............I might have boycotted the show for a few episodes in protest back then. I do remember being upset by his absence. I remember thinking, "Oh, no...........not GW!!!!!!!!

I loved "Nanny and the Professor"! I wish it were available in reruns!!

Buzzr aired another one of Judy's appearance on Password Plus this time against Bert Convy (Tattletales & Super Password) and hosted by Tom Kennedy.

I know you don't have contacts with everyone, I would love to see you chat with Cissy Wellman. I always liked the few times when sissy and Yancy were on!

Ventriloquist Paul Winchell and his puppet Jerry Mahoney David gave them one name lol

👍❤️ Neat Interview

David (GW) is a class act. I enjoyed you two visiting

I didn’t want him killed off, Curt also.

I loved Nanny and the Professor

not sure if anyone knows but GW stood for George William

Another wonderful interview with David. Although it is fun to think about the possibilities of amazing story lines had GW not heen the first casualty, that episode ranks within the top 10 best TV episodes of all times. David, like GW, is an incredibly lovely, warm-hearted, and humble human being. Please thank him for his time and efforts and for his much appreciated and treasured contributions to our beloved The Waltons series. 🎉🎉❤❤

I think the episode when G W died was one of the saddest

This was another interesting conversation with David Doremus,focussing on his intelligent side. Not only does he have a phenomenal memory,but he is also able to think on his feet and adapt. Learning 600 lines,and quickly, requires a good memory but also the ability to put yourself into the character and into the scene. Judy,you mentioned before that you also had an ability to learn your lines quickly. Do you think this was facilitated by placing yourself into the character and scenario of the role you were playing? And perhaps a photographic memory is also helpful?

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

This is about an episode from season 6 The Childrens Carol. I watched it tonight and I saw something I hadn't noticed before. When Verdi is delivering her cakes she comes to Thelmas house. Thelma opens the front door and in the dim light I saw written on the outside of the door the words "Board Room". The letters aren't real bold but it is readable.

❤😊

Do you have a say in what ads are included in your "podcast"? I thought it was inappropriate to have political commericals as part of your show...especially when whoever assigns the ads focuses on one candidate for president. It seems unfair to me.

Huge mistake killing GW off. I was majorly disappointed. Wrong for a number of reasons. Like Curt, GW brought something different to the cast. His somewhat naivety made him very likable. Also, killing him off like the way they did made it look like Erin was the cause... considering he joined the army to impress her. If they needed to kill anyone off, it shouldve been John Boy. Richard Thomas and Richard Thomas alone can be John Boy, sorry.

I. Would say millions of girls had a crush on g w ...Patrick in Ireland 🇮🇪

There was no way I could learn lines as fast as David, I have a terrible short-term memory

I think Kathy Richard's played in Little House? Also didnt Richard Long play in Big Valley? I have enjoyed this interview! I didnt realize David had played the older brother in Nanny and the Professor!

Really hated when GW was killed. I loved the character!
