Erin Walton: Tonight!

Mary McDonough can say she grew up as a Walton. Yes, the squeaky clean rural family that made The Brady Bunch look like pimps and prostitutes. LOL. The CBS drama that had everyone yelling goodnight to each other from their bedrooms in the 70s was a phenomenon in the tv industry at the time but some behind the scenes truths were shocking. Our guest tonight got to be a part of that piece of television history.....good or bad. Mary McDonough played Erin Walton and says she learned a lot about life in general on the set of that show. Her latest book chronicles her struggle to remain a normal kid while balancing being on an A list show.
Join us tonight as we delve into the Waltons. A show that was a part of the fabric of the american family in the 1970s. We kick off at 7:30pm. Just Do a SKYPE search for "waitiknowthis" and call in.
Hope to see ya then!
