I LOVE BOB ROSS!

I watch his painting program every time it's on. It is very calming and very soothing, and he has the softest voice on TV!

Too bad he is no longer with us.

He was a very gentle spirit. I am really glad to hear they are still running his program.

They run his show on Create channel, which is the 4th PBS channel on the digital signal here. He's on at 9:00 pm about 3 times a week.

Stated in one episode of The Joy of Painting that he did not wear shoes to school until the sixth grade (Series 15, Episode 10).
