Default Bob Ross

This forum needs a thread about how awesome Bob Ross is... was. I have a bunch of episodes of his show on my computer and as I'm eating my lunch I'm starting one up. Anyone else like him?

All his paintings are the goddamn same thing. But I do enjoy watching his show.

There are 30 series that were aired in the span of 10 years too, and reruns are still going. So there must've been a shit ton of people that agree.

I also have to give him credit for his name brand line of paint, which is for whatever reason slightly cheaper than other brands at the art stores I go to.

They're cheaper because Bob Ross was just that kind of guy.

I used to watch him every now and then when I was a kid, he made everything look so effortless. Plus he was probably the happiest person in the world, ever.

Probably kind of disrespectful but I found that hilarious. ^

when i started painting for art class i had seen some of his shows on pbs. I have to say he did show me that trees can be lonely and cold, and there are sad and happy suns.
