Bob Ross-o-Rama: The Joy of Painting on Yubby.com

Posted by Queuebot in Arts & Crafts on April 9, 2009 at 3:19 pm


Honestly, I’ve had a crush on Bob Ross ever since I was a little girl. It was something in the way he stroked the canvas and talked in that ever soothing voice about happy little trees and clouds. He mesmerized me in every way he could. Now he’s gone, and it becomes harder and harder to find his shows on TV. Even PBS seems to turn its back to the man who invented hotel room painting.

But we are in the internet age now and love everything retro. To my surprise and disbelief I found a Bob Ross channel on Yubby.com dedicated to Bob Ross and filled with all sorts of his happy little videos. Finally there is bliss in my life again. Even more important: I found a great video collection to fall asleep to!

    If anything whenever I do stumble upon a rare showing of Bob Ross on TV I never change the channel. Must be a nostalgic factor as I used to watch him paint rather than watch cartoons when I was a kid. He made painting actually a whole lot more interesting as you get to witness a scene come to life. Man, I miss all those happy little trees. :(

    I used to never miss Bob Ross when I was little. And in college, it was that much more enjoyable. I love the guy, and wherever he is now, I know the trees are happy.

    I always remember the slapping brush. I never really watched him but the fro and slapping brush is what makes you remember him.

    No way! I used to look him up on YouTube to help me go to sleep as well. So glad to know I can find him again...

    Thank-you so much for posting this! I've been searching for Bob Ross online for AGES and I only now finally feel vindicated.

    they show him periodically on late night PBS in chicago on their digital channel 11.3 pbs-create.

    and i have to agree with everyone above, if i'm flicking channels and i come across bob, i leave it and smile. he was such a positive person, it is the best way to dose off to sleep. bless you bob wherever you may be!
