The guy didn't exactly produce high art, but there's something cool about it. How the picture just kind of materialiazes before your eyes in a half hour.</p><p>I was having trouble sleeping last night and I caught an episode on PBS. Don't know whether it was his voice or the painting, but I drifted right off. Very soothing.</p><p>TV Valium.</p>

<p>&quot;Fluffy little clouds.&quot;</p><p>&quot;I'm going to put a tree in my world.&quot;</p>

[Don Stugots]

<p>&nbsp; <font size="3">I used to tape the show on my VCR and watch it when I would get home from school.&nbsp; It was great to watch and his voice would put me out cold.&nbsp; Those naps were the best in my life.&nbsp;</font></p><p><font size="3">Ever see him when he would bring in a bird or a squirrel?&nbsp; He was like gentle ben.&nbsp; &nbsp;</font></p>

[jimmyNYC]

<p>&quot;there are no mistakes ..... just happy little accidents&quot;</p><p>&nbsp;his
voice would put me out in 5 mins. i would start with a blank canvas
&amp; wake up to a completed painting. and lets not forget the best
white man's afro ever.<br />
</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

[DarkHippie]

I have paintings that i have done from his show all over my apartment walls

[Marc with a c]

<p>i bought that dopes painting kit when i was in 7th grade.&nbsp; i am a horrible artist.</p><p>the end</p>

[J.Clints]

PAINTING SUCKS

[J.Clints]

<p>But well lets paint a happy little bush</p>

<font size="4"><strong>This is such a great show.&nbsp; I own a season on
DVD and the painting tips really work, but the show's true value is
that its such a decompression to watch.&nbsp; That guy's gifts go way
beyond painting.&nbsp; I heart Bob Ross forever.&nbsp; its hard to stay
awake during one 25 minute show, but not bc theyre boring...its like a
visual meditation...amazing stuff.<br />
</strong></font>

[Terragen]

<p>Yea I would really love some DVDs of Bob Ross, he's one of my
heroes! That is so cool some of you picked up on this too, I thought it
was just me! I used to go into a Buddha-like trance every show, its the
best
therapy. I fucking BAWLED when he died... <br />
</p><p>And Howard Stern still lives... no justice in this world... </p>

<p>&nbsp;</p><p>i was in an atrs stores last week, and they have a whole line of bob ross products&nbsp;-- you can get all the burnt sienna you need</p>

<p><font size="4"><strong>Dont forget Thalo Blue, or whatever that was.</strong></font></p><p><font size="4"><strong>Remember his signature bit was beating out the one big brush on the easel stand after he washed the paint off?</strong></font> <br />

[FezPaul]

When I worked as a house painter, we would goof on Bob's little sayings and mannerisms while we worked.

[RingWraith]

<p>As an artist myself, I always admired his ability to produce a great painting in just a half-hour. To me, it's still amazing.</p><p>I need to get a DVD of Bob Ross and just learn some of his techniques. Great Artist!</p>

[Freakshow]

<p>I like the episode of the boondocks where the one kid takes paining lessons&nbsp;from the 'bob ross' type guy because he's been putting graffiti on neighborhood houses.&nbsp; The episode ends with Bob Ross outrunning the cops in his station wagon.&nbsp; </p><p>It's the only episode of that show that i've seen, though.</p>

[cougarjake13]

<p>used to watch the show all the time, it used to give me a calm and sleepy feeling when i did</p><p>i always hated when he would throw a huge tree in front of the whole painting and initially it would look bad but after he was done it would look good</p>

I&nbsp; really enjoyed watching him paint.&nbsp; He made it look effortless and easy. He started with a blank canvas and 20 mins later he had a beautiful landscape.&nbsp; <br />

[Sleeves]

<p>Cool that Bob Ross was featured in Dave's&nbsp;&quot;Jack Donovan&quot; story. </p><p>The line was: &quot;Bob Ross never made art like this, mommy.&quot;</p><p>I've noticed that Bob Ross comes up like that.&nbsp; You see him on TV and then at dinner your Aunt brings him up and then the next day you read his obituary in an old newspaper at a garage sale.</p>

[DirtyJersey]

I loved watching him paint trees. He would just dab the fan brush and all of a sudden, a beautiful pine tree appeared. Rest in peace Bob Ross.

I used to love watching his shows. Bob was fucking awesome.

[TheQuestion]

<p>I spotted this t-shirt in the mall a few months ago and bought it for my girlfriend (she likes to paint)</p><p><img border="0" src="http://www.remi1000.com/images/news/bobross.gif" />&nbsp;</p>

</p><font size="4"><strong /></font><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Yellow Ochre was my fave.&nbsp; Ahhh, yes, when he &quot;beat the devil out of it&quot;.&nbsp; This was one of those shows that I could not help but watch and had to stop on it if I came across it channel surfing.&nbsp; It reminds me of my grandpa, we always watched together.&nbsp;</p>

[JamMaster]

<p>They have some of the episodes on YouTube.&nbsp; Here is a link to one</p><p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mnCKKK5KVMw&search=bob%20ross%20joy%20painting%20pbs">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mnCKKK5KVMw&amp;search=bob%20ross%20joy%20pain ting%20pbs</a></p><p>Brings back memories.&nbsp; Happy little trees...</p>

[LordofIron]

Hard to believe that anyone that uses the phrase &quot;happy brush&quot; did a 20 year stint in the USAF.&nbsp;

[JimBeam]

<p>They still show it on WLIW and some other PBS station on Cablevision here in Westchester.</p><p>Comes on Weds on WLIW at like 10:00, 12:30 and 2:30 or something.</p><p>Then they have this other PBS station, not really on demand but shows like blocks of the same kinda shows, and they show it on there on like Thursday &amp; friday a few times a day ( same episode each day ).</p><p>I have the built in TiVo on my cable box and I had recorded everyone that came on from October 2005 - May 2006. I just had to delete them all because they were taking up like 80% of my storage. I wanted t otransfer them to videotape but got lazy.</p><p>My only complaint is that they keep showing what they call Season 22&nbsp; I think but its obviously epsiodes from all seasons because you can see he's much younger in some shows.</p><p>Now they just keep repeating the Season 22. Kind of a bummer because even though they're all repeates these are ones I've seen most recently.</p><p>I think he did something like 250+ sgows and these humps keep showing the same 22 or so.</p><p>That dude is way relaxing.</p>

[LordofIron]

I loved that show.&nbsp; Being an amature artist in my own right, I learned a few techniques from him.&nbsp; The guy had talent and even as a kid, found his style amusing when the volume was turned up. lol
