The Beatles and Ed Sullivan go together like peanut butter and jelly, like macaroni and cheese, like most great pairings of our time. The Beatles made a total of four appearances on the show, solidifying the spread of Beatlemania in the United States.
From the second the group sang, there was no doubt that the Beatles were only getting started. Hits that we still enjoy today were part of these iconic sets – who can resist a rousing chorus of "I Want to Hold Your Hand" or "All My Loving"?

4/4 This was easy peasy
Got all 4, and thought I could easily have gotten none...8D
4/4. 2 easy! "Yesterday" didn't come out until 1965. "All My Loving" is already showing, so that leaves, "I Want To Hold Your Hand".
Got 'em all
1 out of 4.
0 / 4 hated the 'flab 4.' Still do.
I don’t like The Beatles, either. I love The Monkees!

3/4; missed the first one - never heard of that song.
"Till There Was You" was a song from the musical "The Music Man" that appeared on "Meet The Beatles".
On the last question, "Something in the Way She Moves" wasn't a Beatles song at all, but the James Taylor number from which George took the opening line of the song he just called "Something". And neither song existed in 1965.
No, George wrote that song BEFORE James Taylor signed with Apple! And yes, most of the wrong answers didn't fit the Fab 4 timeline!
4/4. Actually prefer the Glimmer Twins.
4/4. That makes me the "fifth" Beatle.
4/4 Beatles fan
2/4 I should read the info before I answer questions.
''You got 3 out of 4'' -------------Nicely done! Got #1 wrong.
3/4! missed number 2.
I don't think i'll ever ger use to theses new fangled short quizzes.That being said i'll never get tired of perfect scores. 4/4!💃💃💃💃💃💃
4/4! I have seen all 4 shows on DVD! Easy one for Stephanie: Which future Monkee was on the first Beatles show? Bonus for all: Where was the second show broadcast from?
1.) Davy Jones performing with the cast from the musical, "Oliver".
2.) From Miami, I believe at the Deauville Hotel or Resort.
