I loved that Elizabeth’s hair is a mess. That is the very essence of a little girl that age and it adds to the feel and authenticity

"Hiding behind one of your momma's smiles honey" One of my favorite lines until the whole series. So sweet. Elizabeth was was adorable. Wonderful job Kami!!

Thank you to everyone who joined for the live chat this morning. Have a lovely day!

I love the part where Elizabeth asks John, "Daddy, where did you find me"?, and he replied " Hiding behind one of your Momma's smiles." That was so sweet. Elizabeth is my favorite Walton girl.

The messy hair makes it look more authentic.

It is great that you and Judy make these clips about the your time filming the Waltons.

Sweet little Elizabeth! 🤗 Kami, you were SO cute when you are little (and you still are)! ;) It's great being able to watch The Waltons on ME-TV! Also, I love how you and Judy Norton are doing these videos! We are enjoying learning about the "behind the scenes" of the show! My family and I usually watch a Waltons episode once every weekend. My favorites are the ones with John-Boy and Grandpa in them. :)

I be there tomorrow tonight I'm watching Waltons home coming Christmas. THE BEST PART WAS WHEN YOU SAID YOU HAVING PUPPIES INSTEAD OF KIDS JIM BOB TOLD YOU IT DONT WORK THAT WAY SO CUTE

I'm so pleased you are posting these. It means a lot to those of us who grew up with the show.

The Foundling was shown on "Halmark Drama" channel just last night. can't wait to hear Kami's memories.

Messy hair = authentic. When I was a kid my hair was never perfect more than a few minutes after combing. One aspect of films I never liked is how actors looked too perfect. So instead of getting into the story, I start thinking about the hair & makeup crews on the set. Your scenes looked so authentic thanks to the messy hair.

I’m only 13 but I grew up watching old shows. When I saw the very first episode, The Foundling, I immediately fell in love with the whole show. I fell in love with the characters and the passion you all had playing them. I love that you share your experiences and cannot wait for Friday. I will definitely be watching! I love you Kami Cotler!

I loved the character of Elizabeth so much, that I named my youngest daughter "Elizabeth"! You were the cutest, sweetest little girl, and you were such a natural in playing the part!! Thank you for these video commentaries!😊

Kami, I can't tell how much I appreciate your breaking down the segments of filming while you part of a great cast. I can only imagine what an opportunity you had by being part of the cast on one of the greatest shows

Been binging on the Waltons DVD sets for about a week.

“I have a feeling about this child.” “You have a feeling about EVERY child.” A more loving statement couldn’t be said about Olivia’s character & love of all children.

I loved the Elizabeth character, she would have been closest to the age my mom was during that period 🥰

Thank you for taking the time to share your experiences behind the scenes... I like this because we all witnessed you growing up and these reflections you share are true and honest as only a child could have witnessed those times.

Love watching The Walton’s as a child, still watch re-runs!

Loved Ralph he was the husband I would have loved to have

Sure appreciate your impeccable content Thank's so very much, we sure love your beautiful hair!🙂⚘

This was absolutely amazing!! Its fun to see the inside scoop behind the scenes even if its fifty years later !!! I enjoyed The Waltons as a child, and with all the crazy these days, I am really enjoying this throwback !!

You know, there were orphan kids who grew up watching and cherishing the show, they considered the Waltons as their real life family, that's the most touching thing for me.. Thank you Kami !

"The Foundling" has always been one of my favorite Waltons episodes, if not indeed my favorite. It's wonderful.

I just love these. And I love that your voice is so calm. It's like we're just talking. . .

When I was 11 years old I asked my mom, where did I come from. She said from our (meaning her and my dad) love. I was so confused about her answer and it didn’t make sense to me. I said oh ok. That was the end of that conversation!

The messed-up hair looks very natural and authentic for a little girl.

Kami , you were such a sweet little girl . Enjoy your commentary on this much loved show. Thank you.

We watched that episode last night.

Looking forward to listening to your recollections.

Your hair made you even more adorable, and the scene authentic. In fact, I loved the answer from John, "hiding behind one of your Mama's smiles". It was such an appropriate answer to say to a child, even if it went over her head. The fact that the director had her pause, look back, showed that she was cognitive of the answer, even if she didnt understand the implication behind it, that she came as a result of their love for each other. Beautiful line and episode. John Crawford played in a lot of westerns. I remember seeing him in quite a few. Thank you, Kami, for another thought-provoking video.

Kami, wow I have to compliment you and you delivery. You have a very unique angle to you come at in your descriptions of the show. So interesting.

I have The Foundling on PVR can watch anytime I love the ones when kids are little

How neat. Thanks for your memories. That episode made this 56 year old truck driver cry.😂🤣

When the show originally aired I never noticed Ralph’s eyes since I was a child myself, but now of course I see how handsome he was!😍

Thanks for perceptions. Makes so much of a difference to how we watch each episode. Totally enriches our experience.

Thank you, Kami. I am Loving this. The Waltons are a part of my soul!!

I JUST LOVED YOU AND RALPH IN THAT SCENE. I BET YOU MISS RALPH HE WAS AN UNDER RATED ACTOR!

That sheriff was so authentic as were all of the cast, excellent job. Such a lovely show with important family values and struggles

I loved the relationship between Elizabeth and JimBob. Watching this as an adult. I loved the episodes The Ferris Wheel and The Wager. Most of the titles started with "The"

What a beautiful recall, I'm learning a lot about how actors do things without knowing why it was necessary. comes with the gig I guess. lol..

I personally like the look of shows in the 70s and 80s when they used to be put onto film. but I wonder if it had its challenges, like not being able to review it right away to see how it looks and the editing being much harder to do. Very good video. Thanks for sharing.

Kami, you and Ralph had my favorite exchange of all here (around 3:34-3:44) When Elizabeth asked Daddy "where did you find me" and Daddy said "Hiding behind one of your Momma's smiles, honey." That was such a sweet answer, and had to be my favorite line (though there were a lot of lines that were favorites). This show had such great writers who wrote with such heart. (Posted before watching the part about the scene all the way through. But in the 30's many parents probably would not have discussed "the birds and the bees" at such a young age, which was probably what the writer's were thinking when they wrote the dialogue for that scene.)

I really do enjoy these commentaries. Thank you Kami!

Thankyou so much for sharing, Kami. I think that what you,Judy and Mary are doing is awesome. We don't really grasp what goes in to the making of an episode when we're sitting back enjoying the show. This really gives us a deeper appreciation for you all.

Thank you for doing this. I'm so sorry I missed your chat this morning. Your friend Judy Norton has a great channel and I always watch her videos as well. It brings back great memories.

Kami, you were the most precious beautiful little girl. I always loved your interaction with your dad and grandpa ❤️❤️ it was nice to watch you grow into a beautiful young lady. You all did such amazing job.

I love listening to you. Your voice is so calming and you’re very intelligent, it’s such a pleasure to hear your memories about my favorite family.

Absolutely fantastic video!! thanks for posting it, Kami !

one of the sweetest lines I've ever heard

This is just a treasure to watch! Thank you for posting this! 😊

This is so great. My ABSOLUTE FAVORITE television show of all time. I own every last DVD ever made.....and escape to Walton's Mountain quite often. Especially when the real world in the 21st century gets a bit too much. I grew up watching this show....and now I'm the only one in my family left and it also connects me to those who have passed already. Thank You for putting these up.... I REALLY appreciate it. Love from W KY.

Love your explanations and educating us based on your experiences!! I was looking forward to pt 3 for days. 😊

Kami, Thank you so much for doing these videos, I also enjoy Judy's videos but in a way I like yours more because you go scene by scene, (in fact we're still on the first episode) but I love the way you explain how scenes were done and such. Keep on posting becouse I and "I think we all fans" love it.

I loved the detail you shared about film vs tape and how the scenes are done. Thank you so much Kami! So interesting! ❤️

Really enjoying this, thank you Kami

I love this! I really enjoy all the little tidbits you give us!!! 😊🤗

Thanks Kami !🤗💗...Loved every minute of this video 😘

Thanks for sharing Kami 😊

Kami..I so appreciate your chanel. Thank you for touching on areas that we have no clue about. Keep them coming💕

I love watching this! I am watching The Waltons every day and loving it just like the first time❤️. I love that you looked back at your dad, it was precious❤️

I just love these. The info you give is great and I love your voice. I always feel like people talk too quickly and without clarity and you speak with such deliberation and clarity. Very calm.

Your hair looked perfect. I wore the same style, same age, it was the 70's . 😛✌😁

Kami! So happy that you’re doing these videos. So happy to enjoy your content

I love watching these. I hope you keep them coming.

Loved hearing about these episodes kami

Making us wait Kami? That’s cruel and unusual punishment 😉...

We love watching these videos and we love the waltons I purchased season 1 through 9 and the movies they are a joy to watch!!!

Lovely to see you Kami, love from the UK.

Thanks I am really enjoying this.

Thank you, Kami, for posting this video...I remember seeing this when originally aired. I never knew this was the first episode to air until years later...I never knew that a pre-Little House Charlotte Stewart played Holly's mother...

Thank you, Kami...just got home from work and saw your video. Wonderful way to segue out of the day's labor.

Thank you so much for sharing

Thank you! Thank you for sharing these wonderful memories! May God continue to Bless you Always! Take Care! 🙏♥️🤗🕊🙌🦋⚘

Sure appreciate your efforts that was awesome today🙂 so well done!

Great job Kami, love watching all these behind the scenes ,they're awesome ☺☺☺

Thank you for sharing, and God bless you

Another awesome commentary you were the cutest little girl it seems like you I had that whole family wrapped around your little finger

Really enjoyed. Very informative. Thank you for sharing your experiences with us. Judy and your channel are great. I grew up watching you and The Waltons. I hope maybe you all can make another Walton movie, that would be so awesome.

You All r Truley a *Treasure*To Behold*Part of our Childhood*Thank you all🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤🌟🌟🏆🥇💪

The hair was EXCELLENT for a little girl that age that is busy being a little girl with lots of children and on a farm... AWESOME!

I didn’t recognize John Crawford as an actor I “lnew“ until I saw a picture of him as an older man, then I definitely recognized him as the great character actor that he was

really good, lots of details, very interesting !!!

Love this show reminds me when I was younger watching it with my mom

Thank you, just loved the Walton’s and all the actors, especially you as Elizabeth, I marvel at how everything seems so authentic and not really acting. ❤

Thanks for sharing with us about your life as a TV icon

Lovely of you to make these videos Kami. They are so great! :)

Your tech on behind the scenes is on par with us that have no clue to how hard you guys worked... and for a little girl you were VERY mature!

Thank you Kami !! I absolutely love this episode!! I've seen ever episode of Behind the Scene with Judy Norton and now it's time to watch all of yours 😊 It was so cool to get to tell Judy how I had such a huge crush on Mary Ellen all these years and to talk to her about the short shorts she wore and got in trouble wearing on the Dust Bowl Cousins Episode 😍 Now I'd love to hear you do a behind the Scenes Kami on that Episode. Thanks and I just want a say The Waltons is hands down the greatest show of all time! Happy Holidays to you & your family this Season Kami, God Bless! #1TheWaltons

Kami, you've always had the most beautiful hair and you still do! Thanks for sharing.

I am really enjoying these videos that both you and Judy are posting on KZfaq. As I mentioned to Judy I ordered the homecoming a few days ago and it should be arriving at my house on the 8th of December and it will be very pleasing to actually own my own copy instead of having to go to the library which around this time of the year is very hard to find.

So interesting and informative. Great video!

I love your commentaries! Sorry I missed the live chat!
