Bob Ross: Happy Accidents, Betrayal, and Greed producers Melissa McCarthy and Ben Falcone say they “never intended to set out and create a hit piece” about the art instructor and TV host with their new Netflix doc, which chronicles the life, work and unexpectedly dark legal legacy of the Joy of Painting star. But Bob Ross Inc. says that although the film “accurately captured” the famed TV painter, it’s an “inaccurate and heavily slanted portrayal of our company.”
The film follows Ross’ career, centering heavily on his relationship with Bob Ross, Inc. co-creators Walt and Annette Kowalski, who helped the ...

This article contains spoilers for Bob Ross: Happy Accidents, Betrayal & Greed.
The trailer for Netflix documentary Bob Ross: Happy Accidents, Betrayal & Greed doesn’t say much but still promises a lot.
Only a little over 30 second long, the teaser clip features creepy chimes, telltale black and white true crime imagery, and the provocative text: “We want to show you the trailer for Bob Ross: Happy Accidents, Betrayal & Greed but we can’t. Find out why on August 25.”
Wow! Netflix, arguably the most powerful media entity on the planet, is so spooked at the raw truth of a Bob Ross documentary that it’s hesitant to even share it with the public. This is a streaming service that premiered Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem and Madness just last year. And in case you needed a reminder on that thing’s whole deal, that was a docuseries that began with someone...

Last year, at the height of the pandemic, entertainment news was besieged by a string of stories about how reruns of Bob Ross’ “The Joy of Painting” were seeing renewed life on streaming. It seemed that, for many, Ross painting “happy clouds” offered a major source of relaxation and familiarity in a world that felt unsafe and frightening. And yet it’s impossible to believe anyone could be that happy, right?
