As part of Variety’s 100 Greatest Shows of All Time issue, we asked writers on our staff to name their favorite cult shows — series that may lack the clout, the following, or the prestige to quite notch an entry on our list, but ones for which our writers have a special fondness. Here are seven shows that are, to us, the greatest.
Alias
So the central mythology, about the mystical inventor Milo Rambaldi, came to little as the show went on. No big deal. On “Alias,” it was all about the ride. That’s meant very literally: Each week, the show crash-landed into an episode-ending cliffhanger. As played by a luminous, game, and utterly committed Jennifer Garner, superspy double agent Sydney Bristow changed her loyalties, her allies, and her wigs. The only constant in her life was chaos, into which a writing team led by J.J. Abrams thrust her week after week.

Bob Ross is a highly respected and celebrated painter. His TV show, The Joy of Painting, brought him to the world stage and inspired a lot of people to take up art. The world today also gets to know him thanks to his online presence brought upon by his show being publicly available online, and also his “happy accidents” iconic quote. Ross may be gone for more than two decades now, but his impact on the world lives on. The following article will recap the most important highlights of Ross’ life. From his early life to his longstanding legacy, everything...

If you fancy getting your hands on Bob Ross‘ first-ever TV painting, you’re in luck. Well, that’s if you have a cool $9.8 million to spare. “A Walk in the Woods,” the oil painting that Ross created in 1983 on the first episode of his iconic art program The Joy of Painting, is currently listed on the Modern Artifact website for $9.85 million by gallery owner Ryan Nelson. “What this piece represents is the people’s artist,” Nelson told ABC News. “This isn’t an institution that’s telling you that Bob Ross is great. It’s not some high-brow gallery telling you that Bob Ross is great. This is the masses, the population in the world, that are saying that Bob Ross is great.” Ross, who passed away in 1995, hosted The Joy of Painting on PBS from 1983 to 1994. He became hugely popular from his easy-to-follow instructional videos and his iconic permed hair.

The animated adaptation of a 40-year-old video game provided the best-yet argument that movie theaters are on the road to a real recovery. “The Super Mario Bros. Movie” (Universal) grossed $146.4 million this weekend and $204.6 million in its first five days. All told, this weekend grossed an estimated $207 million.
Here’s what’s really impressive: This film had fewer premium screens and only 16 percent of attendees purchased child-price tickets. All told, over 20 million people in the U.S./Canada paid to see Illumination’s latest animated feature this weekend and it’s already within $10 million of the total domestic gross of “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania” (Disney) — currently, the biggest gross among 2023 releases.
We haven’t seen a film (over)perform like this in years. It’s not a critical favorite (47 on Metacritic), but brand appeal meant tracking and pre-sales were high; it was also the first wide family release since...

Owen Wilson is back, with brushes, as the longtime host of a beloved but fading Burlington, Vermont-based PBS instructional art show. Paint from IFC Films opens Friday on 800-plus screens.
Public television is always ripe for parody and happens to be a world Wilson knows. His father Robert Wilson helped launch, and ran, Dallas PBS station Kera. (He also introduced Monty Python’s Flying Circus to public television.)
Paint director Brit McAdams tells Deadline said that his own after-school TV ritual, General Hospital, would often segue into PBS host Bob Ross’ The Joy of Painting. Ross is a loose inspiration for Wilson’s character, Carl Nargle, in the look at least, from permed hair, denim-on-denim wardrobe and dulcet tones that impressed McAdams and a global fan base.
“I’d be like, ‘Who is this guy?’ And then he’d paint something brown that would turn into a branch, and then a tree,...

Channel-surfing may be a nostalgic pastime these days, but those who experienced the mindless boredom of finding “nothing on TV” will probably recall the most compellingly boring show ever: “The Joy of Painting” with Bob Ross. With his signature curly brown afro and soothing voice, Ross was a fixture on PBS and of many a rainy afternoon. Though new episodes stopped airing in 1994, the late painter reached sustained notoriety through international reruns, Twitch streams, a Netflix deal, and a YouTube channel. In 2021, Netflix released a documentary about his life, “Bob Ross: Happy Accidents, Betrayal & Greed.”
A new fictional film plays on Ross’ pop culture icon status without using his name or any particular details of his life, instead trading on his distinctive look and the public television painting show setting. Written and directed by Brit McAdams (“Tosh.0”), “Paint” stars Owen Wilson as Carl Nargle, a revered painter with a...

What could the future possibly hold for an artist if they have grown too comfortable with success? If they have stayed put in that snug place of glory, but the times have moved on fast without them? These are the hefty considerations at the heart of “Paint,” a slight comedy that sadly embraces neither the worthwhile questions that surround its central premise nor the story’s dark humor potential.
That’s too bad, because writer-director Brit McAdams’ narrative feature debut is rooted in a genuinely fascinating subject that apparently served as an inspiration for “Paint.” McAdam’s muse is Bob Ross, a real-life American public television mainstay of the ‘80s and ‘90s. Being the host of a successful PBS show called “The Joy of Painting” during that time, Ross built a loyal audience who loved and were mesmerized by his soothing voice, and even haunted by his creative process and ease with a brush,...

Carl Nargle (Owen Wilson), the amusingly ironic hero of “Paint”, hosts a one-man instructional painting show that gets broadcast live out of the PBS station in Burlington, Vermont. Each afternoon, Carl appears on camera for one hour, puffing on his pipe, holding his brushes and palette as he dashes off an oil painting of a local wilderness setting, explaining all the while, in the unruffled monotone of a stoned hypnotist, how you too can get to a “special place” just by painting what’s in your heart.
Carl himself seems nearly as much of an art object as his canvases of Mt. Mansfield, the Vermont peak he has begun to paint with Ocd frequency. He wears the same denim Western shirts, fuzzy beard and ash-blond Afro that he’s been sporting since 1979. He’s a relic: the landscape painter as Fred Rogers for adults, a kind of soft-rock guru from...

If you’ve seen promos for Paint, you’ve probably figured out that Brit McAdams’ comedy starring Owen Wilson is inspired by Bob Ross, the artist who hosted the low-fi PBS series The Joy of Painting for many years before succumbing to lymphoma at age 52 in 1995. Creating landscape paintings in under 30 minutes, Ross was an unwitting progenitor of Asmr, with his endlessly laid-back demeanor, his soft speaking style and his soothing manner that exuded a sort of hypnotic calm. He was also a distinctive visual presence with his impossibly large permed hair, thick beard and mustache, invariably dressed in jeans and a light-colored shirt.
As Carl Nagle, who hosts a Vermont public television show about painting, Wilson channels Ross’ distinctive persona not only visually but also spiritually. The casting feels dead-on, since Wilson has made a career specialty of playing laid-back, slightly dazed characters who seem stoned out of their minds even while perfectly sober.

The past decade has seen a lot of weird cultural trends, but few were harder to predict than the unlikely reemergence of Bob Ross.
The painter, who hosted the instructional art show “The Joy of Painting” on PBS from 1983 until his death in 1994, doesn’t exactly seem like the kind of celebrity who would find an audience in today’s fast-paced world. Each episode of his show featured him leisurely painting a picture while offering words of encouragement to his viewers. It was soothing background noise at the time, but aspiring artists can now find much more efficient videos on YouTube and MasterClass.
Yet the Internet — which in theory should have been the invention that erased Ross’ legacy — ended up being the very thing that made him relevant again. The 2010s were the decade of the Bob Ross vibe shift, with nostalgic memes turning the unapologetically sincere painter into a...

Let’s just add a happy little actor over here and maybe a touch of afro up there on the head…In his latest movie, Paint, Owen Wilson plays Carl Nargle, a character directly influenced by Bob Ross, who hosted The Joy of Painting from 1985-1994. To get into character, Wilson zeroed in on what made Ross so special in the world of public television.
Bob Ross’ distinct look of afro and beard was something that Owen Wilson and the Paint team had to nail. And in it, Wilson wears a wig that helped him channel the beloved painter and will make audiences go Wooowwww. “I did like a little painting before to just see what it felt like.

Owen Wilson did not set out to emulate Bob Ross in 'Paint'.The 54-year-old actor stars in the comedy film as an artist called Carl Nargle but did not plan to match the late painter's serene style, even though he does sport 'The Joy of Painting' host's afro hairstyle in the movie.Owen told Variety: "I'm not good at doing imitations, and so that was never really a possibility. But certainly that quality that he had when you watched the show – and why people still do – is like a little spa treatment or something. You come out like, 'Oh, I feel relaxed and I feel better.'"Wilson's character is the presenter of Vermont's most popular painting show until he is usurped by a younger, better artist and the star got to enjoy flipping the script on the tranquil image of art.The 'Marry Me'...

Get ready to paint some happy little trees with Bob R -- er, Carl Nargle. The latest trailer for the upcoming Owen Wilson film "Paint" just dropped, and the new movie seems to be doing for kitschy PBS painter Bob Ross what Showtime's "Kidding" did for Mr. Rogers. Namely, "Paint" centers on the behind-the-scenes turmoil in the life of a beloved, sweet public figure who played a formative role in the lives of several generations. In this case, the subject is a Ross-like character named Carl, played by Wilson in a permed wig. Armed with a paintbrush and a dulcet voice, Carl takes the world by storm with his paint-a-long programming.
"Paint" comes via IFC Films and is the narrative feature directorial debut for Brit McAdams, who also wrote the film. "Casual" actor Michaela Watkins, "Barry" supporting player Stephen Root (who's having a big day for trailers), "The Goldbergs" star Wendi McLendon-Covey,...

Owen Wilson appears to be channeling his inner Bob Ross in the first trailer for IFC Films’ upcoming comedy Paint.
Director Brit McAdams’ film is set for release on April 7 and stars Wilson as Carl Nargle, the beloved host of a long-running instructional painting series on Vermont public television. Trouble arises when a younger painter played by Ciara Renée is hired to attract a different demographic, exacerbating Carl’s deep-seated insecurities about his own artistic talents.
“You’re entitled to your favorite TV show — that’s what makes this country great,” a frustrated Carl begrudgingly admits in the trailer just before he is seen hurling a can of paint at a wall.
The footage also shows Wilson’s character receiving plenty of attention from female supporters, including an awkward moment involving a fondue outing with one particularly devoted fan.
Paint’s cast includes Michaela Watkins, Wendi McLendon-Covey, Lusia Strus and Stephen Root.

Bob Ross now has his very own Aline Dieu. The teaser trailer for IFC’s upcoming comedy film “Paint” has been released, featuring Owen Wilson as “Carl Nagyl,” a fictional character that more than slightly resembles beloved television icon Ross.
Like Ross, who hosted PBS’ instructional art program “The Joy of Painting” from 1983 to 1994, the fictional Nagyl is a permed public television host of a program teaching viewers how to paint, with a knack for soothing narration.
While the late Ross’ image and show are the clear inspiration for Nagyl, the film itself tells a completely original story, one that portrays Nagyl as a womanizing, fame-obsessed man behind his gentle onscreen persona.
Although Nagyl is initially riding high as one of the top talents of his public Vermont TV studio, the film finds him hitting a rough patch in ratings, prompting the studio to bring in a new younger artist...

Owen Wilson portrays Carl Nargle, Vermont’s #1 public television painter who is convinced he has it all: a signature perm, custom van, and fans hanging on his every stroke… until a younger, better artist steals everything (and everyone) Carl loves. The legacy of American artist Bob Ross in one that we hope lasts forever. Ross would whip up landscapes full of happy little trees in less than half an hour on his weekly television show, The Joy of Painting, for just over a decade. He was instantly recognizable in his post-hippie attire and blooming afro. He soothed you with his calm vocal instructions as he put brush to canvas week in and week out. Seemingly unflappable, Ross was truly the 'joy' in the...

IFC films has today shared the first look at Owen Wilson in Paint, in which the actor is equipped with sky-high curls, a well-loved palette, and a stunning canvas full of happy little trees. You’re thinking, “this is certainly a Bob Ross biopic.” Alas, the funnyman isn’t playing the late great PBS personality, but a different, fictional public television artist.
Paint is an upcoming comedy film hailing from writer-director Brit McAdams, and in a sort of Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood style, it seems to put a satirical twist on Ross’ legacy. Owen’s iteration of the painter is named Carl Nargle, a local favorite public TV personality in Vermont famed for his distinctive perm and encouraging mantras.

The film stars Wilson as Carl Nagyl, Vermont’s top TV painter who has everything going for him, from a fanbase to a van and even a perm, until a younger artist takes his spotlight.

Wilson leads the film, having been previously featured in “Zoolander,” “The Royal Tenenbaums,” “Bottle Rocket,” “Loki” and “The French Dispatch.” The actor also has the upcoming film “Haunted Mansion” on his docket with Jamie Lee Curtis, Jared Leto and Winona Ryder.
Joining the Oscar-nominated star, the “Paint” cast includes Michaela Watkins, Wendi McLendon-Covey, Ciara Renée, Lusia Strus, Stephen Root and newcomer Lucy Freyer.

An entire generation of artists and creatives first learned how to work a paintbrush thanks to Bob Ross’ instructional videos on landscape painting. The painter, who hosted The Joy of Painting on PBS, encouraged everyday people to set up an easel and paint “happy little trees.” His show effectively debunked the notion that painting is only for the naturally creative, opening the medium of art to anyone who would like to try their hands on painting. The show was also full of gems that showcased Bob Ross’ wisdom and philosophy. “Maybe in our world, there lives a big old cloud

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.”

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.”

Bob Ross was known for his permed hair and his sanguine PBS TV series, The Joy of Painting, where he taught art to viewers nationwide for more than a decade in the 1980s and early Nineties. But as a titillating trailer suggested last week, his career wasn’t all happy trees and clouds.
The new documentary, Bob Ross: Happy Accidents, Betrayal and Greed, now streaming on Netflix, covers the span of Ross’ career with a focus on his relationship with business partners and Bob Ross, Inc. co-creators Walt and Annette Kowalski,...

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?
That’s the question at the center of Joshua Rofe’s hazy documentary “Bob Ross: Happy Accidents, Betrayal, and Greed.” There was no doubt a real man behind the facade of the television-famous painter, but the film often feels like it’s scraping for a scandalous angle simply to make it worthy of Netflix and its big buzz machine. In the opening credits alone, dark clouds are painted on the horizon (pun very much intended) as Ross’ ow son,...

If you didn’t grow up with the soothing, tranquil voice and vibes of Bob Ross, the white afroed painter whose seminal “The Joy of Painting” show might have been one of the best anger management tools of the 1980s and 1990s, you missed out. Though at this point, Ross has become an iconic figure in the art world, and you probably know of him, have heard of him, or recognize his smiling, beatific visage.

Fox Corp.’s Tubi is widening the streaming audience for The Joy of Painting, the hushed classic hosted by the late Bob Ross.
Thirty of 31 seasons, totaling almost 400 episodes, will be on Tubi by the end of the month. The first season of the show, which launched in 1983, is not part of the launch.
Cinedigm’s Docurama Channel, which is already on Tubi, will feature the Painting episodes. All 31 seasons of the show already are on YouTube, and Hulu and Amazon also have select seasons for subscription streaming. Cinedigm earlier this year created a Ross-branded streaming channel, which started out on Samsung smart-TVs.
In 1983, Ross and partners Annette and Walt Kowalski debuted Joy on public television, making 400-plus episodes through 1994. Standing before the camera in a locked-off shot, Ross takes viewers through the process of painting landscape scenes, describing his color choices and brush strokes in a calm, even and encouraging tone.

The End of the F***ing World, Rick and Morty Season 4, Henry Kissinger, and more in today's daily Link Tank!
The best episode of the first season of Rick and Morty will inspire the show's new season.
"When we talk about Rick and Morty being “meta” or subversive, the most important example is Season 1’s “Meeseeks and Destroy,” one of the all-time greatest episodes that’s ostensibly a story about stories in its deconstruction of the Hero’s Journey and introduction of the Morty Adventure Card. More important, however, the episode introduced us to the bright blue Meeseeks, a creature that remains one of the most recognizable bits from all of Rick and Morty in its maddening desire to accomplish a single task before it is erased from existence."

Amazon shares declined after the company reported mixed results in its quarterly earnings call with investors Thursday. Though the company beat sales forecasts, its earnings estimates were well below Wall Street expectations.
While Amazon championed its Prime service’s shift to one-day delivery and the success of its annual Prime Day sales event, the Jeff Bezos-owned conglomerate offered no new information about its entertainment properties, including Prime Video.
Though the company did not share any new updates for its Prime Video streaming service in the earnings report, Amazon did reiterate some of its recent successes in the film and television markets. The company noted that it more than doubled its Emmy nominations this year—Prime Video received 47 nominations for original programming—including 20 nominations for “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” and 11 nominations for “Fleabag.” The latter show has been particularly well-received by critics, including IndieWire’s Ben Travers, who lauded the...

“Deadpool 2” scored $125 million in its opening weekend, a rarity for an R-rated film.
The Fox sequel’s early success is in large part due to the two years-plus worth of promotion by the man behind the mask and layers of scar tissue prosthetics: Ryan Reynolds.
Following on the $786 million success of 2016’s raunchy send-up of superhero movies, “Deadpool 2” has posted an opening weekend higher than the starts for “Thor: Ragnarok,” “Spider-Man: Homecoming,” or any of the films featuring those goody-two-shoes X-Men that Wade Wilson can’t stand.
Comic book movie fans are clearly excited to see Deadpool come back. But the truth is, he never really left. Reynolds, who shares a writing credit on the sequel, has kept him in the public consciousness on social media.

This isn’t a slam on either show since they both serve a purpose and can be interesting if you’re really into them, but let’s be brutally honest just for a moment.

Deadpool is a franchise that loves its references, so it should come as no surprise to learn that the “Wet on Wet” teaser is a clear reference to Bob Ross of PBS fame. For those who are unfamiliar with that name, Ross was an American art instructor who had his own instructional TV show called The Joy of Painting on PBS, which started up in 1983 and continued filming until 1994 when he was diagnosed with the blood cancer that killed him. Regardless, the sheer longevity of his instructional TV show should make it obvious that he was a much-beloved

20th Century Fox has released the first footage from ‘Deadpool 2‘. Initially, this trailer feels like another one of the brilliant viral videos that made the marketing campaign for the first ‘Deadpool‘ so special. In this first “Wet on Wet” teaser trailer, we see Deadpool (Ryan Reynolds) parodying Bob Ross‘ ‘The Joy of Painting‘ – to great comedic effect. It’s at about the 1:30 mark that the trailer shows us our first glimpses of actual footage from the sequel and I have to say that, although brief, the new footage from ‘Deadpool 2‘ looks quite amazing.
It’s interesting, because this video feels like a very unique hybrid of trailer and viral video. I honestly hope that this gets the chance to actually play in cinemas, although the likelihood of that happening is slim. It was just a few days ago that we saw the first poster for the film...

You want to show fans a teaser, but there's not enough finished footage to fill much time, so what do you do? What would Deadpool do? In the case of the first look at his upcoming movie sequel, he offers a little skit spoofing iconic PBS painting show host Bob Ross. This is an R-rated parody, by the way, so hide your children, even those who might actually appreciate a send up of The Joy of Painting and punny color names like "Doc Brown," "Mennen Black" and "Betty White." Fans wanting to see actual clips from Deadpool 2 as opposed to or in addition to Ryan Reynolds in costume plus afro wig, there is a very quick montage. We see Deadpool with guns, Negasonic Teenage Warhead (Brianna Hildebrand) with a new hairdo, other returning...

I think it’s safe to say that anyone who had the chance to watch The Joy of Painting with Bob Ross absolutely loved the show. If you didn’t fall asleep to the soothing sounds of his voice first, you usually got to witness some pretty awesome painting by the man with the best afro in the entire world. However, in all your time since watching the show and having fond memories of the presence of Ross, I seriously doubt you ever though of Artificial Intelligence.

Students, pensioners and Mark and Jez from Peep Show number amongst its fans. Now a new generation is getting its Bob Ross fix on YouTube
One of the great joys of YouTube is unearthing a video of entirely indeterminate origin and purpose. Who made this, you wonder, and who the hell did they make it for? The sensation is not entirely a new one, but it was rarer in the days before the internet, when almost everything that made its way to broadcast had a calculated position within the schedule and a clearly defined target demographic.
I say almost everything because, between 1983 and 1994, the instructional PBS art show The Joy Of Painting was the ultimate in “who-is-this-for?” broadcasting. So many different audiences found something to love in bushy-haired host Bob Ross and his stream-of-consciousness art classes (housebound pensioners, carefree stoners, irony-hungry Generation X-ers, and presumably at least a couple of...

The artist is painting her way through each episode of the iconic Bob Ross show we all know and love. Along her journey, Bonneau includes relatable commentary under each of her posted paintings. Under the painting titled Snow Fall, created during season 1, episode 12, she talks about the possibility of a painting gone wrong.

A new live stream on Twitch will help its viewers master the art of French cooking. The platform’s food channel will host a four-and-a-half day marathon of The French Chef, a classic cooking show hosted by Julia Child.
Child’s knack for French cuisine (as well as her distinct voice) have allowed her to endure as one of America’s most famous celebrity chefs. While her TV career spanned multiple shows, she is best known for The French Chef, which aired 201 episodes between 1963 and 1973. The show’s Twitch marathon will begin at 5 Pm Est on March 15 and will run continuously until all its episodes are exhausted.
The decision to air The French Chef comes on the heels of Twitch’s successful broadcast of The Joy of Painting. The platform shared all 403 episodes of Bob Ross’ art show last year, and the stream became a surprise hit; over its entire run,...
