Painter and TV personality Bob Ross died in 1995, but his legend lives on — especially among millennials, who remember his calm, blissful TV show from their youth.

The memory had such a sway on Chris Nervegna from South River, New Jersey that the 22-year-old decided to make 'Bob Ross' the theme of his last birthday party.

Chris fired up one of Ross' old instructional episodes, set up party-goers with paint and canvases, and watched the nostalgic fun unfold.

Without Bob Ross I would never have survived my son's first year.

Bless his heart.  That guy provided endless joy to my frat brothers.  The Bob Ross PBS shows were legend at the Teke house.  Stoned trees are happy trees.

How the hell do these kids know who Bob Ross is?

BTW, some of his old shows are on Netflix. The guy could really bang out a starving artists painting fast and his life story is extremely interesting.

Reruns.

The Joy of Painting has been in reruns this whole time. A lot of us grew up watching PBS's kids block and the Joy of Painting was one of those shows that came on right before or after the kids shows. It kept people's attention.

Clever idea. Being quite a bit older, but still sticking to the PBS rerun theme, perhaps I should have a Julia Child-themed birthday party.

Hmm. I think I will go with the Swedish Chef from Sesame Street for my next birthday, it's a big one and I'll be in a silly mood.  :silly:

Bob Ross was awesome.  A truly nice, peaceful man.  Couldn't help but feel better about just about anything if you caught him while channel surfing.
