The Waltons - Todd Bridges Interview - behind the scenes with Judy Norton

We are all aging, but like fine wine. Todd is such a talent. Loved his work and he is such a joy to listen to.

Todd is one of the best child actors ever, period. He was great on Little House.

Todd is such a wonderful actor. I remember his role on the Waltons and being in awe of his talent.

No matter his age he still looks the same.

I wish Todd Bridges long life. I loved all his shows.

You said you might get Todd Bridges a few months back...and sure enough you did it. Thank you Judy so very much. Your efforts for your viewers and precious memories shared are so very much appreciated. Apparently NOBODY can say no to you...and we are the beneficiaries of that!

Todd Bridges is a nice guy for sure. My wife and I were contestants on his game show Lovers and Losers at the Plaza Hotel. Todd helped me up the steps. We actually won! We won a trip to Florida. So we decided to do a cruise to the Bahamas. After we got back from the cruise we went to Disney World. Todd is great!!!! So are you! I'm catching up to you. Come September I will be 66 too. Appreciate the channel. I still watch the show on METV!

Thank you so much, Judy, for inviting Todd Bridges and Todd for sharing your time and stories with us! I loved the Walton's storyline of Verdi and Hal's adopting you. It's amazing how many shows you were in! Such a talented young person. How wonderful your Mom taught you acting! Every guest Judy has hosted mentions how kind everyone on The Walton's was/is! Roots was quite spectacular, riveting stories, wonderful actors, terrible history. Yes, it's difficult to accept Ralph Waite as a slave owner in Roots. You were wonderful in LHOTP too! A charming and gifted child and still charming and gifted. Bless Walton's everywhere! ❤

The Stray is one of my favorite episodes. It always brings tears to my eyes when John walks away from Verdi’s house and Josh is just staring at him. Thanks for having him on the show!

What a treat to have Todd Bridges on! I've always loved Todd & certainly admire him for his sobriety journey, this was a fun interview!

He was a great little actor, played his Waltons role beautifully! Judy, I turn 66 this year too, as a young teen watching the Waltons was able to relate to Mary-Ellens angst. Amazing how some things don't change no matter what the era!

It’s great to see Todd Bridges interviewed by you dear Judy. I was happy to know that he appeared in The Waltons. I saw him from his days on Different Strokes alongside Gary Coleman. I loved that show. Great interview and may God bless you both!

The only Different Strokes living cast.

He was great in 'The Stray'! Judy, thank you for finding him!

Thank you for doing this interview with Todd Bridges! This is a treat! ☺️

Great to see Todd doing very well. He's gone through a lot. I too remember watching Roots, as a 9 year old, and being STUNNED when I saw DADDY WALTON on the Slave ship. LOL Judy...NO WAY you are 66! Looking great.

Todd, thanks for interviewing with Judy. So good to see you.

I am so glad that Todd brought up growing up in the San Francisco Bay Area. I grew up there as well during the sixties and seventies, and I tell my children that there really wasn't any racism in that area at that time. It didn't make any difference what color you were, in fact, there were so few black people at my junior high, that if you were black, you were pretty popular. My sewing teacher in junior high was black, and I still have fond memories of her. Just sad what society does. Maybe someday we'll all get along and skin color won't matter. Enjoyed the interview.

Thank you Judy for another great episode, & for having Todd on. I also hope that you will have David Deramus, ( G.W.), still saddened by his untimely passing, and Jonathan Frakes, (Ashley) on to share their experiences. ❤️ Todd, your t shirt is a sweet nod to Gary Coleman ♥️🕊️

Great to see you and Todd Bridges ❤️❤️❤️
