Any interest in "The Joy of Painting" Season Sets?
I caught a rerun on PBS the other day and remembered how much I missed this show, and I wondered why they haven't put them out on DVD yet. I'm sure Bob Ross' estate would be happy to have the shows out there for people to enjoy, not to mention the profit, and there's no music or additional rights to worry about. And besides the typical outlets, they could sell them in art supply stores, so people could watch each episode at their own pace, pausing and rewinding as they painted along.
I'd buy them just as a cure for my insomnia. I don't think I've ever made it through an entire episode without dozing off.

I don't believe they are in season sets, but if you go to bobross.com, it looks like the bulk of the episodes are on dvd. For the most part, each dvd costs 55 and change for 13 episodes.

I'd much rather have those PBS painting lessons given by the old German dude with the house brush. He's swabs the house brush in some green, smashes it against the canvas and BAM!
Perfect tree.
Perfect tree.

Did anybody ever see that Bob Ross parody on that old MTV Half-Hour Comedy Hour show by a comedian who's name I cannot remember.
The bit went something like this: (kind of metaphorically colored and perhaps a bit offensive to some, so I'll spoiler code it)
Hilarious stuff, relatively speaking.

Still, it's a little like the Discovery Channel charging $30 for episodes of AMERICAN CHOPPER through a 1-800 number only to eventually release the entire season in stores for the same price. $1700 is crazy expensive, even if it is for 400 episodes. That breaks down to roughly what HBO charges for their 1 hour drama sets.

I don't remember the one you were referring to, but I do remember "Joy of Tattooing" from Hardcore TV.
I'd love to see Hardcore TV come out!
