Legacy

In the British TV series Peep Show - Peep Show (British TV series) - the main characters make decisions via reference to what Bob Ross, whom they call 'God', is doing on that day's show: 'Mark and Jeremy refer to Bob Ross as God ("What's God up to?", "If's God's doing mountains or sky or water I'll call"' - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0672476/movieconnections/ 203.220.28.164 (talk) 11:46, 8 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Bob was a cardentor before he was a painter.

I assume you mean carpenter? The article already mentions this in the Early life section. Tollens (talk) 01:02, 27 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Twitch

The article mentions what seems to have been some special event in 2015, rebroadcasting "The Joy of Painting". As of 2024 there is a twitch channel running episodes 24/7, maybe that would also be worth mentioning in the article. --BjKa (talk) 13:04, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
