And hopefully Steve Irwin Crocodile Hunter would be their friends too. That would be a very wholesome neighborhood.
Maybe? If they could've gotten Irwin to leave the deadly animals alone long enough. And Steve's intensity I suppose would balance out the others' laid back chill.
Both Bob Ross and Fred Rogers were all about people improving themselves. Ross through creativity (who once painted all in grey to show a colorblind viewer that anyone can paint) and Rogers through kindness (like how he would say outloud he was feeding his fish so the blind girl watching knew they were being cared for).
Steve Irwin was more about exploration. The other two, introspection. Yes, all three encouraged love of the world around them. Ross would love to paint the snakes in their natural environments and Irwin would be the first to help Ross with his squirrel rehabilitation efforts. And Fred would have been there with both of them, explaining how snakes are part of our world but not to mess with them because the snakes don't like it.
And then the whys. Steve Irwin was chasing the thrills. I can offer no proof of that except I know way too many thrill seekers and they all had the same eyes. His payoff was the thrill of picking up the deadly snake. Ross was a teacher through and through. His joy came when viewers sent in pictures of their own paintings. And Rogers, kindness and love of self and others.
True, all three had different target audiences. And that's gotta make a huge difference. But not big enough.
Would they get along if they all met? Probably. But they wouldn't have been the 3 buddies going to a juice bar together. But then, that's good in its own way. We live in the same world as the 3 of them did. And they were all remarkable, each in their own way.
