Anyone remember the Beatles Cartoon Show?

[maveric]

The coolest tune on saturday mornings from 1965-69. Dopey storylines but great music.

1. There was a beatles cartoon show?

whoa.

[maveric]

5. "Yeah, Yeah, Yeah!"

[Philostopher]

2. Just barely, but yeah -- I do remember.

Of course, I think my older sister had taught me the lyrics to "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" before I was even out of diapers, so naturally I watched the Beatles cartoon!

I remember being one heartbroken first-grader when I heard the Beatles broke up.

3. I certainly do.

I loved that show.

4. Got every single episode on DVD, courtesy of a favorite bro-in-law

My grandkids, who are 8 and 9, think they are hilarious. But they LIKE the stories and HATE the music, much to my chagrin! My granddaughter thinks the only Beatles song that is any good is "Yellow Submarine." *sigh* She likes (shudder) Britney Spears and something called Cheetah Girls. And Kenny Chesney. Yikes.

Oh well. She's young. If I can keep exposing her to what Clapton called "the proper records" perhaps I can get her tastes to mature!

6. yeah

the beatles had nothing to do with it. (except the royalties of course)

Was very goofy and more a throw away cartoon to cash in.

A bit like "The Monkeys" in away.

"Yellow Submarine" was much better, even though the beatles had very little to do with that as well. (except the royalties of course)

7. Watched it every Saturday morning

I loved it, of course.

I even would catch it whenever I could when MTV ran the show in their early days.

8. That's the earliest I can remember hearing of them.

Man, were they marketed, or what?

[Swamp Rat]

9. "Lovely Rita metermaid!"

"AhhhhhhAAAhhhhhh!"

[Borgnine]

10. Vaguely.

Of course, I was born in '83, so any memories I have of it are either false or from a past life. But either way, I loved it.

[slackmaster]

11. Yes, I watched it religiously

That was a long damn time ago.

[soothsayer]

12. yes! gahroovy psychedelic effects

Kinda' cool.

[Spirochete]

13. Yeah, I used to watch it

It came on right after George of the Jungle, I think. Cool show. Had two cartoons, with some sort of goofy singalong in the middle.

17. My brother and I would be allowed to eat our cereal in the living room...

when that was on.

"Honey Dont"

[nostamj]

14. dating myself but yes, I remember it!

[flamingyouth]

15. I have some of them on tape

But I came along too late to watch it when it was on.

16. I Remember That None Of The Voices Sounded Right

Just a group of stock voice-over folks trying their best with fake Liverpool accents.

At least when Hannah-Barbera did "Abbott & Costello" cartoons, they used Bud Abbott himself. And the "Three Stooges" cartoons used Moe Howard, Larry Fine, and Curly Joe De Rita.
