What happened to the love for Bob Ross?
Edited on Fri Dec-07-07 05:17 PM by LynneSin




Man, I wish they had repeats of "The Joy of Painting" on TV - I hope Bob is in that happy little world where he can put the happy little clouds anywhere he wants.

3. I still love Bob Ross...
I tried to start a Bob Ross quotes thread, but it didn't go so well. :(

He had some great quotes, though!

14. For me it was mostly his voice...
I found it very comforting and soothing... like Carl Sagan's was.

23. ...billions and billions...
I agree with the vocal thing. We used to call his show "video valium".

My brother-in-law used to record the show and then watch it in fast forward. To me, that totally defeated the entire purpose of watching.

19. "That's where the crows will sit.
But we'll have to put an elevator to put them up there because they can't fly, but they don't know that, so they still try."
