First Mister Rogers, now Bob Ross: PBS video mashup honours late ‘Joy of Painting’ teacher

LOS ANGELES, Calif. – On the heels of PBS’ hit Mister Rogers video mashup, a second public TV favourite is getting the star treatment.

PBS said Thursday it has posted a video remix with clips from “The Joy of Painting” instructional series, featuring the late Bob Ross.

The “Happy Painter” remix is from John Boswell, who created the “Garden of Your Mind” video tribute to Fred Rogers. That mashup of clips from “Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood” has been viewed nearly 6 million times on YouTube.

“The Joy of Painting,” still seen in repeats, aired on PBS from 1983 to 1994 with its bushy-haired, mellow-voiced host. Ross died in 1995.
