What are some example reasons why Ross paintings are of amateurish quality?
I've seen plenty of motel paintings, watched plenty of Bob Ross episodes, but the comparison doesn't seem fair. Motel paintings are often printed - you can tell by the CMYK dots if you come close enough. Ross at least seems to use actual oil paint on canvas supported by real solvents which seems a lot higher quality than the usual school process using acrylics or temperas. (Although granted using liquid white seems a bit dodgy).
So what is Ross missing. Not enough detail? Does not take enough time to paint a painting? Not enough paint on the canvas? Not photorealistic enough? Too photorealistic?
