Dave The Daring Posted October 30, 2015 To celebrate Twitch's official support for the Twitch Creative community, they are showing every episode of the Joy of Painting, hosted by the one and only Bob Ross. If you've never experienced Bob Ross and his mesmerising painting technique, then do yourself a favour and go to http://www.twitch.tv/bobross. As for Twitch's official support for creative streams, that can only be a good thing. It means Doom mappers that stream their mapping sessions are now officially friends of Twitch, and as Bob said himself many times, everybody needs a friend. :) 0 Share this post Link to post

Jaxxoon R Posted October 30, 2015 I'm surprised the username "bobross" wasn't already taken. It's a shame he died so long ago, though. He might've gotten a kick out of the streaming concept. 0 Share this post Link to post

You're still loved by lots of nerdy Twitch users. 0 Share this post Link to post
Clonehunter Posted October 30, 2015 I still think of that Boondocks episode when I think of Bob Ross. Cool stuff, though! 0 Share this post Link to post

compy286 Posted October 30, 2015 I think it's awesome. I started watching last night because of the novelty, ended watching the whole painting he was working on get finished. Happy trees, lots of happy little trees. 0 Share this post Link to post

FireFish Posted October 30, 2015 Now this is weird. Why would Twitch be so insane to throw a show like this to the sharks... The chat is just filled with retarded mentally ill comments and situations. This show deserves better. 0 Share this post Link to post
tourniquet Posted October 30, 2015 You can also find a ton of episodes on Youtube, discoverd it a couple of months ago. Whenever i'm in the mood for a nap i pick a episode and 5 minutes later i'm asleep, his voice is like a charm. 0 Share this post Link to post

FireFish Posted November 6, 2015 There is a timer running next to the video so it might be the last stream for now. It "might" end after 50 minutes. It was fun to take a look at it now and then, had not seen that show in more than 10 years. 0 Share this post Link to post
darknation Posted November 6, 2015 I own the DVD box set. The special features are amazing, like in the behind the scenes featurette in which he has a total mental breakdown, smears the canvass with human shit, slits his wrists and scrawls 'FUCK PIG' in blood across a fecal horizon. 0 Share this post Link to post
Dave The Daring Posted November 7, 2015 It's all over, and yet there are still over 20,000 people watching this: Yes, that is a timer counting down. What does it all mean? Could this be the second coming of Ross? 0 Share this post Link to post
FireFish Posted November 7, 2015 thats the second timer, the first timer was counting down to the final episode. 0 Share this post Link to post
HavoX Posted November 10, 2015 "Monday night is Bob Ross night" In wake of this tremendous response, Twitch has announced that it will dedicate Monday evenings to the late painter with a weekly show. "Monday night is Bob Ross night," Twitch said in a statement. Starting tonight, Twitch will run one season of The Joy of Painting--which originally aired on PBS in the '80s and '90s--starting at 3 PM PDT and ending at 9:30 PM PDT. The show had 31 seasons and 403 total episodes, meaning you'll only see repeats once every seven months, Twitch said. 0 Share this post Link to post
