Huell Howser: California's Dreamer - KVIE

9:22 PM PST - There will never be another Huell Howser.💗 His boyish enthusiasm, exuberance and energy will never be matched. California Gold episodes showcased the very best of our state—the everyday unsung heroes. Glad he didn’t have to witness how far we’ve declined . 💔😣

I'm 37 years old now and I remember first watching him when I was about 10 years old. You couldn't change channels without bumping into him . You would go to your friends house or a doctors office and Huell would always be playing in the back. He was on Tv as I grew into a man, got married and had my first kid. I didn't care for him and I thought he was annoying. I Left Los Angeles in 2006 and moved to Las Vegas. I heard of his passing in 2013, but still didn't really pay too much attention. About 6 months ago, I was home and his show came up here in Las Vegas public channel and I watch it in its entirety. After the show ended I YouTube him and began watching his California gold shows with my 6 year old and my wife. I was hooked. He has this innocence, and real earnest curiosity for people and things that's very heartfelt. He makes you feel like it's ok to be a child exploring and asking questions all over again. He's very genuine and kind hearted, doesn't have a mean bone in his body. The sad thing now is that he was always under my nose, his shows were always playing trying to teach me that our world is beautiful. That even the smallest things can bring you happiness. I've cried several times after watching his shows because it breaks my heart now that he's dead. All Huell ever wanted to do was show us how ordinary people and places can be AMAZING. I'm learning not to take people and family members for granted, and I'm teaching my kids to find the beauty in our every day lives. Californias gold was always under my nose but I was so ignorantly blind that I couldn't see . Thank you Huell. I miss you and may god bless you. I hope when I die you are there to greet me ,and take me on a tour of my afterlife.

Rip 🙏good sir 🙏best feeling getting home and straight to watching your show 2004 to 2023

Sitting with my Grandpa watching Huell...Some of the best memories in my life...God Bless Huell Howser.

The only television show that left me feeling I watched something worth watching.  Even though it wasn't about Huell Howser; he and his crew made California's Gold work!

When the outside world, politics and social media get to be too much for me I binge Huell Howser videos. I miss him so much. The world needs Huell more than ever.

Huell Howser... What a treasure he was. Thank you, Huell.

It is so strange about Huel Howser, when he was alive I couldn't stand him, but now that he is gone, I miss him and treasure his programs more then ever. It makes me cry. I wish he lived longer.

I always wanted to meet him! I’m born and raised on Guam but live in California now. We used to get the show through our local pbs station on Guam. It’s funny because his show did just that, inspires my family and I to visit a lot the places he’s visited. May he Rest In Peace. He’s definitely one of Californias golden treasures!

All these adventures in search for California's Gold and he was right in front of our eyes the entire time.

HUELL .. A HOUSEHOLD NAME!!! … LOVE HUELL AND ALL OF HIS SHOWS …. WHAT A DREAM JOB!!! … HE WAS TRAVELING ALONG ON HIS ADVENTURES ON LIFES HIGHWAYS .. REST IN PEACE HUELL 💯💯🌹🌹❤️❤️🙏🙏😀😀🌴🌴🌴🌴🌴🇺🇸🇺🇸

I could watch back to back Huel Howser 24/7

One of a kind.  A rare spirit.

For many years I thought Huell was just a local reporter for some Los Angeles TV station. Only after his death did I realize his uniqueness. Now I watch his videos whenever they pop up, and they never grow old.

I have lived in California for a total of 7 years, and I must say I didn't even know he existed until 2010-2011.... what a shame for me. Huell and California's Gold have kept my attention ever since then, and I have so much more to learn from him and the show in the years to come. RIP Huell Howser.

Next year in January 2023 will mark 10 years, 1 decade since Huell Howser passed. Miss you forever just like my parents.

As a news photographer, He was and is my inspiration to always be curious and keep my eyes open to find the next "California's Gold"

What I would've given to simply meet a man as decent as Huell Howser, with his boyish curiosity and enthusiasm for everything California. Having been born & raised in the L.A. area I caught early on the same wonderment and enchantment Huell felt for California -- its lifestyle, its culture, its history, its geography, its geology; and to this day, even having left 30 years ago to live in WA, I'm still amazed at the diversity of the state, and retain very fond memories -- and hope one day to go back to CA and revisit and explore deeply all that I remember about living there. It's a shame that politics has ruined a lot of what CA has meant to me, but they'll never be able to take away its natural beauty, its majesty, or its history. And Huell Howser made sure that those things were always front and center. A wonderful man whose love for CA shows through in every show he ever did. God Bless him. Huell, you've done a great service for me and every person who has ever lived -- or hoped to live -- in California.

I still like Huell Howser’s shows - so fun and interesting! 😀

God bless you Huell Howser, thank you!
