"Ed Sullivan Show, The" (series) by The Beatles – ****

First released: 2003

Though the date above refers to The Beatles appearances on "The Ed Sullivan Show’s" DVD release, Ed Sullivan was on TV from 1948-1971. The Beatles made four appearances on the show during 1964 and 1965 and all of them are contained in their entirety. Of course, Ed Sullivan is known for bringing a number of other acts to the air like Elvis Presley and The Jackson 5. Ed himself is extraordinarily stiff and it’s amazing this show stayed on that long. After a couple more TV appearances in 1972-1973, Ed died in 1974.
