  2. I agree…very good for a hangover…soothing voice that says “you will one day party again”…made it all better! 4/10…guess I shouldn’t have drank so much…

  3. Boy, this quiz brought back memories! I used to love the soothing sound of his voice! He almost put me to sleep every time…..In fact, thinking about it almost put me to sleep right now here in my cubicle.

  4. They should sell the audio recording of his shows as a sleep aid. Maybe someone at Bob Ross, Inc. will take this quiz, see this comment, and make this happen.

  5. Oh, Bob Ross! I could never resist a rerun of his show! Any time it was one while I flipped channels, I absolutely had to stop and watch it. I just loved him! Not only did he always make me feel happier by the end, but he was really very talented! Somehow, he always made me believe that I could totally do the exact same painting at home. I never tried, but I guarantee that if I did, it would have looked nothing like his…

  8. 5/10. I’m not from USA but here, in Mexico, the show (traslated) used to be in a cultural channel every saturday at midday. My mom and I used to see it, and it was quite funny.
