Joshua Tree Special | Visiting with Huell Howser | KCET

[@blueycheeks291]

I got to meet Mr. Howser two years before he passed, so glad I was able to tell him how much he inspired me in the natural history of California , and how his show motivated me to become a park ranger . I miss him,he was a great person.

[@jonmacdonald5345]

Bluey Cheeks lol I can See You Guys Bumping Butts to Disco music!!! lol Do the Husssssle!

[@youngpedro2165]

hey what college degree did you have to get to become a park ranger? i'm interested in going towards that field.

[@freakybeats89]

check out universities with recreation and parks programs or parks management programs! I got my undergrad degree in recreation parks and tourism from San Francisco State. best decision I ever made, lots of my friends are interpretive rangers now. go for it!

[@virtuosodm3327]

So grateful for what Huell left us,among all the mindless television movies,programs, etc...I find myself watching his shows a lot,learning things,etc....and such a positive, happy person this person was,can't help but to lift your spirits when you watch his personality 😔😌🙂

[@itillbeme1]

Huell made great, great television, which is a very hard thing to do when its a documentary. No script, no actors, no director, no special effects, just off the cuff and yet outstanding programming by Huell Howser, and very good camera work by Luis. One of a kind TV, I wasn't going to watch the full hour but got hooked the first couple of minutes and could not turn it off. BRAVO.

[@mikecarter8880]

What always amazed me was his ability to have very few edits and cuts. He was a pro.

[@kevinp8108]

R.I.P. Huell Howser. Thank you for teaching me so much about my own state of California! You've shown me the beauty of my state that I didn't even know about.

[@anthonya1151]

Rest In Power Huell Howser! One of the greatest ever! 💯💯💯👑👑👑

[@johnallen2771]

Huell Howser was a national treasure and I think there should be a monument to him somewhere. I just came back from a visit to Joshua Tree about a week ago and it was stunning. Those rocks are indeed more than just rocks. One looks just like a skull and you can see faces and inscriptions all over the place. We took long walks and the desert cactus and brush is beautiful. I would recommend people visit this place but take only pictures and leave only footprints. Also, we ate lunch at a picnic table right next to the Oasis. The whole time we were there I felt like I could feel the spirits of some of the early Mexican cowboys and later wagon trains that must have stumbled in there, parched from the desert, to get a cool drink of water. It was a strange feeling.

[@Radnally]

20 years ago this episode aired. Time flies. Huell did make things interesting to watch.

[@jameslyons1624]

Now it's been 25 years

[@sosaarts3779]

Miss you Huell Howser forever.

[@jimkey920]

I miss Huell Howser. One of the great ones!

[@crushedit1497]

Huell made my day on many of his adventures

[@spaceghost_1]

Thanks Huell your the best.

[@youngpedro2165]

THE MAN, THE MYTH, THE LEGEND

[@benniegriffin6973]

I miss huell so much what a great guy no shows like this anymore.I guess I'm nostalgic.BennieG jr

[@danielroque8504]

Everyone is mad these days! Huell brought us comfort and a kindness not found these days

[@mikecarter8880]

I get even more excited finding its an hour long episode.

[@sandeeps8378]

First time hearing to Huell. His oratory skills are amazing..

[@danielroque8504]

God bless these rangers, they are some smart people. Protecting natures children

[@alwaysshifting9574]

🤥

[@smalltownreviews]

Huell was a true treasure

[@Bunnybubbles]

Before there was Yelp, there was Huell!

[@davidmegara7777]

right!!

[@gordonsmith33]

Huell is the original Vlogger!!!

[@marcelinos4473]

That's amazing " huels voice 😂

[@romansroad2007]

I used to go out there and go camping when I was younger in the winter time. It was cold and snow the night and melted off in the morning very very cool place. We would play U2 music. Yes. Joshua tree album. Great music great place

[@danielroque8504]

I earned a few merit badges there during my boy scout tenure, back in the 80s. Such a beautiful place!!

[@1971SuperLead]

Everyone (except Huell of course) was very informative. Good to see such smart people caring for the desert.

[@punchline43]

1971SuperLead That's because he's less of a reporter and more of an interviewer, it's just always been the style of the show seeing things from the host's (inquisitive) perspective. Huell was good at that and personally, I always thought he was plenty informative in the many years of programs he did.

[@1971SuperLead]

punchline43 I think you misunderstood my comment. I love Huell. His comments can be a bit childish at times, but he never fails to produce an interesting show.

[@rtrouthouse1506]

Huell was the Mr. Rogers of California

[@alwaysshifting9574]

My Daddy.

[@califdad4]

my late neighbor had a Desert Tortoise named "Homer" she had him since the 1950's and a couple years before she passed away at 96 in 2010, she gave him to a tortoise sancturary in Sacramento, He had lived in her back yard and hybernated under a end table in her patio room.

[@YllaStar95970]

Great work, carried out by incredible people, for an invaluable cause. It is my profound wish to visit this unique country on our Earth 🌍

[@malovina]

Thank you for uploading full episode!!

[@jonmacdonald5345]

Damn that dude was rocking a wife beater!

[@ismael1571]

Remember seeing this after school

[@lastofthemohicans1]

Best show ever

[@idavidgraficks123]

If Ernie was the Superintendent, this had to be before 2002. At minute 38 they make reference to the Eagle Mountain MegaDump that WE defeated in 2015 (it took 25 years to defeat). We love Huell Howser.

[@chrisstephens5310]

I love that place very much....

[@angryhedgehoglee6363]

Watch out for quicksand. There are pits of it that form here and there in the park out in the hills. Scary, I once fell in one up the my neck but friends were there to haul me out. Also there is a mystery insect that makes the oddest most bizarre sound that no one has ever seen an example of. Even entomologist are stumped by this one. You can hear it seemingly less than a foot in front of your face and hard as you might try you won't be able to spot it. PRO TIP: Your chance at 15 minutes of fame starts right here folks.

[@jfs1988]

Huell Howser vs cable networks Huell wins. I could watch his programs all day & never be bored.😎😆 Is the History Channel even about history anymore? According to Animal Planet, many people are interested in building tree houses & fish tanks. 😣😪

[@javiiibot5887]

animal planet is almost reality tv now, i watched an hour of nothing but a film crew following a alaskan family around and they did nothing but just do regular household stuff. wtf

[@astranuggets]

thank you so much for this!!! It will help immensely for my final in history of california at CBU!!! I decided to do my final project on joshua tree state park and this is just exactly what I needed!!! The gratitude is strong here!

[@illmsg77]

Huell was so funny, love that man. He said hot marines, hahahahahaha!!!!!

[@alwaysshifting9574]

Daddy Huell

[@dawnsimons118]

If you don't look at the color or the texture , the turtles legs look like chubby lil babies legs . Not smoking today . Just see things the ways I see things . Love you Mr. Howser a life well lived .

[@Starfish2145]

Love the White Socks and the fishing hat LOL

[@maxgelein2614]

This is like the best one i love the awkward moments✌ haha

[@owejay7981]

2:51 "Hot Marines" Oh, Huell...

[@mattadrev471]

+Owe Jay he calls'em how he sees'em haha

[@R3l3ntl3sss]

Lol

[@251Trioxin]

I heard that too 😂😂😂

[@lowbaritonewwj]

Yeah.. I wondered if anyone else noticed that too. Not the biggest secret that Mr. Howser preferred men

[@ms.pugsley]

​@lowbaritoneww apparently with his camera man.j

[@jeaniemarczniec7755]

They go into Joshua Tree and on a path and the young lady explains there are interesting things one can see there. As you go along and look at different things one can go right off the path and get lost and cannot find their way back. But that is with any National Park taking it all in and walk away from the path and go missing. It seems many people keep going instead of stopping and wait till help comes. In the end, they are lost and missing and never return. Nut this guy had someone to guide him and that is good.

[@BoomerGer007]

Before there was Huell, there was Ralph Story, but Ralph only did LA while Huell did ALL of California!

[@laurencerosas43]

That’s correct Huell

[@jonnda]

we're just surrounded by beautiful ecologists out here!

34:13 Visiting with Huell Howser: ASMR Special

[@cooldrew11]

That's amaaaaazing.

[@infrequentgamer_greg]

Yeah, I figure that every California's Gold program is twice as long as it should be because you have to give time for Huell to repeat back to the interviewee, what interviewee just told them seconds ago. Ah, such is Huell. I do miss his programs, though.

[@lisafleming9603]

Viewer wee wee attention span

[@whimpypatrol5503]

I was hoping to finding out if they allow fishing. I have yet to catch my first Landshark.

[@D00Mer77]

When was this filmed?

[@mpsleeman6534]

Episode aired 5 September 1998.

[@donstern1892]

Who performs that blues music at the end?

[@jonmacdonald5345]

Don Stern that is Darude Sandstorm

[@magoomba]

It's almost as though he's making fun of them but he isn't.

[@keithhatch56]

I thought he was drunk at first.

[@OxybroCone]

That's his style. It's rather obtuse.

[@donmckinney928]

marine base bright lights ruin night sky for star gazing .

[@eduardot3587]

what about the natural power of the area? or the witches and skinwalkers

[@daveg4963]

People probably ate them back in the day.

[@juliusceasar6002]

i sh** myself when he yelled "TIME"

[@chuu9739]

At 36:00 they talk about how bats are clean and generally don’t carry diseases. Little did they know what is to come in 2020

[@outbacktrek]

[@keithhatch56]

Bet that turtle likes that piece of wire cemented to his shell.

[@lisafleming9603]

Hopefully likes and dislikes are the worst of its experiences.

[@1MNUTZ]

it costs 25 bucks just to get into the damn park what do federal taxes for if you can't even go to a park

[@jonmacdonald5345]

1MNUTZ Veterans Get in For Free! Bring a Vet next time!

[@lisafleming9603]

Offer to pick up trash; maybe they'll lower your entrance fee.

[@1MNUTZ]

@@lisafleming9603 the park is pretty clean and its 35 bucks now

[@jonmacdonald5345]

@Blake D Yep All National parks!

[@cherylnagy126]

More interesting than PBS Nature

[@Webuildcoolsh.t]

I need to go check for turtles

[@gruntball]

THe US government should support National Park, not terrorism in Iraq/Afghanistan/Somalia. A park ranger is cheap, killing children is not.

[@jonmacdonald5345]

gruntball But There's No Gold,OIl, Diamonds or Drugs to be Stolen out of National Parks! hey man we need that's Afghan Opium for China! we owe them like 86billon dollars!!!!!

You've gotta be the coolest person i've ever heard about

[@Suggy1975]

I don't think that tank top the teacher is wearing is appropriate. He should wear a tank top a little more less revealing. Just not very professional in my opinion.

[@jonmacdonald5345]

It was the 90s alot less offended weirdos such as yourself! That old school wife beater tank top kicks butt!

[@KathleenMcCormickLCSWMPH]

I got a good laugh out of this...

[@OxybroCone]

I miss the day's when people like yourself used to watch TV and then have to DECIDE if you wanted to share your stupid opinion with anyone else through 'water cooler talk'

YERMO Adan Not if people don't know what their hard earned money is going on. Good thing or not; theft is theft. Shouldn't Wildlife Funds and Charities go on that? They already do and yet, they're underfunded.... I smell dishonesty, mismanagement and greed.
