1. I truly found watching his show and "Teletubbies" to be refreshing...

3. I remember him on Saturday afternoons

[Call Me Wesley]

4. Happy trees ...

They showed it here after midnight (in the English original.)

If he inspired someone to pick up a brush and start painting: all my respect. Died way too young.

5. My grandma was

There was 2 painters, one took several episodes to finish 1 painting and I believe Ross is the guy who finished a painting in one episode. She would paint while watching him. I have a painting from my Grandma in my home.

6. He learned the Wet on Wet technique from Bill Alexander...

who's TV show didn't catch on like Bob Ross'. Ross also copied his talking style.

7. I liked ole' Bob

:) He exuded a peaceful calm and soothing personality. Though I could do without the 'critters' he brought in now and then.......... :bounce:

8. When I Was Recovering...

from knee surgery, and in excruciating pain, his voice was so soothing! Our local PBS station aired 2 hour blocks of his show and I would lie there, half asleep, half awake and just drift along.

His work was awesome, I'd love to own one!

I haven't seen the show in aaaages though.

[TheMightyFavog]

10. You see him on the Create subchannel quite a bit...

Very relaxing, very enjoyable...

Until he took his beautiful landscape and stuck a poorly rendered cabin in it....

That always pissed me off.

[we can do it]

11. A Sweet, Calming Show

[Skittles]

12. aw HELL yes

one thing the internet did for me was let me know I was not the only person who had zero interest in painting yet taped his show on my VCR because listening to his voice was better than valium for putting my third shift working ass to sleep - gawd, he was AWESOME

15. wow, haven't thought about that in years

I never watched it much, but he seemed like he had an infectious joy about things. I had an English teacher in high school, too, who looked very much like him :)

16. Your OP would have been better with some crimson and a happy little tree.

[applegrove]

17. It is the same as watching an infomercial or one of those shows that tell you how a factory works...

very relaxing.

[peekaloo]
