First released: 1978
Ringo tried to resurrect his falling career with a TV special. Though the special had its moments, including a cameo by George Harrison, it was mainly dismissed as being too juvenile or stupid. Remember, the people that brought you this one, brought you "The Star Wars Holiday Special" so you know what level we’re working with here. The Ognir Rrats "Prince and the Pauper" tale isn’t too bad though and the musical numbers of "You’re Sixteen" with Carrie Fisher and Ringo’s three-song concert at the end aren’t bad. In fact, the "You’re Sixteen" performance was excised and used as the official video on Ringo’s 2007 "Photograph" compilation. This has never been released to home video in any form otherwise and should be. Sure, it’s campy, but when has that stopped Ringo before? "Sextette" anyone? How about "Caveman"?
