[edit] Original Host
Was there another host before Bob Ross? I remember watching "The Joy of Painting" years ago with an older, grey-haired host. He had a European accent of some kind, and his instruction was somewhat less soothing than Ross's... When painting a mountain, for example, he'd exclaim, "Fire it right in there!" while 'stabbing' the brush into the canvas. Once he was gone, that's when I recall Bob Ross doing the show.

- According to Talk:Bob Ross, this should actually be "Joy of Painting II", with the current tile being a (previous) show with this mentor as the host. --GargoyleMT 20:50, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
- That was a man named Bill Alexander, I believe. Mr. Ross said he studied under him.

- Yes, that was the guy! Here's a link to his Wikipedia page...

I believe Bill Alexander's show was called "The Magic of Oil Painting". I think they were two entirely different shows, even though Bob Ross did learn wet on wet oil painting from Bill Alexander. --Pandawdy 17:50, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] The Joy of Painting in the Netherlands
As of March 31st AT5, has stopped airing The Joy of Painting, and a search revealed that currently no other stations in the Netherlands are broadcasting the show, so all references have been deleted Mr.RandomKnowledge 01:39, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Controversy
This section seems to be misnamed to me? What controversy is there about the show being syndicated and still being broadcast? Collectonian 04:23, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
- Yes, I was hoping for some painter controversy from this section, but it's just about syndication. It should be renamed 'Boring TV afterlife'.
