Greedy assholes who came to own Bob Ross' name and likeness have long been slapping it on any old shit they can get away with squeezing a couple bucks out of. It's so unlike how Ross himself lived and would have wanted to be remembered.
There was a documentary made about it which is worth a watch for anyone who liked Bob Ross.
Watching the documentary about this was really upsetting. It really saps the enjoyment of the show. Fuck those leeches
I can still enjoy the show because watching that, you're seeing who Ross really was and the delightful gift he gave to the world with his work.
Screw buying any products with his name on it made after he died, though. Those vultures don't get my money.
I won’t watch on any streaming services because they’d probably see some money from that, but maybe I’ll add the show to my server one day
That explains the Bob Ross toaster we got from the thrift store
