Published: Feb. 13, 2023, 5:01 a.m.

Aaron and Josh Sarnecky are back to talk about The Joy of Painting for its 40th anniversary.

\n

The Joy of Painting debuted on January 11, 1983 on PBS, where it ran for 31 seasons and 403 episodes. The series ended on May 17, 1994. It has since continued through reruns and streaming.

On the show, host Bob Ross guides the viewer through a painting, while also encouraging experimentation. Some episodes feature a guest, such his son Steve, or even animals like squirrels and birds.

\n

Josh and Aaron look at the show\u2019s first episode and talk about Bob Ross\u2019 appeal. They also discuss Bob Ross\u2019 legacy and the show\u2019s similarities to today\u2019s media.

For something completely different, you can listen to last month\u2019s TV podcast on Breaking Bad.
