Back from the grave: Bob Ross, TV painting instructor from the 1970s. He can be with you at breakfast or lunch. Macy's.

@PickyPicky3    If you have a Samsung TV with Samsung TV Plus, you can watch old Bob Ross videos 24/7.  They're great to lull you to sleep.

The toaster is sold here on QVC too. Along with the waffle iron and the slow cooker.

 

I always wondered what he would think of his face on everything these days and people dressing up like him on Halloween over the last few years.

 

His family must make good money off licensing his image.

 

His show would play on PBS when I was a little girl and I admit, I hated it.

 

I've come to appreciate his calm "happy little trees" demeanor more as I've gotten older.  But as a kid I couldn't turn the channel fast enough 🎨🖌️🌲🌳

Actually his show started in 1983 and ended in 1994.

I really love toasters that imprint an image on the bread, but I don't think I'd want to see Bob Ross on my toast!  I think it would make eating it uncomfortable! lol.  Seems like it would be a fun present for someone tho.

Quite the contrary.  His only son, Steve, sees nothing from all that's happened since Bob's death in 1995.  All profits have gone to his former business partners in Bob Ross, Inc. - the Kowalskis.  There's a very good documentary on Netflix called "Bob Ross: Happy Accidents, Betrayal, and Greed" that describes what the Kowalskis did and how Steve Ross was left with nothing.  After watching it, you'll surely not want this toaster or anything else marketed by Bob Ross, Inc.
