The Beatles made their first of three appearances on CBS’ “The Ed Sullivan Show” on Feb 9, 1964. Sullivan knew he had a really big “shew” that night, telling the audience mainly of teeny-boppers and teenage girls that “our theater’s been jammed with newspapermen and hundreds of photographers from all over the world. And these veterans agree with me that the city never has witnessed the excitement stirred by these youngsters from Liverpool…Now tonight you’re going to be twice entertained by them…Ladies and gentlemen, The Beatles.”
Their fans screamed, cried and grabbed their hair when John, Paul, George and Ringo performed “All My Loving,” “Till There Was You” and “She Loves You.” They came back 35 minutes later in the show to sing “I Saw Her Standing There” and their No. 1 hit “I Want to Hold Your Hand.” The ratings for the episode scored to 23.24 million households. Beatlemania was sweeping America before Feb.

It’s been a while since legend Robin Williams has been on our screens, but now he’s back with a brand new comedy ‘World’s Greatest Dad.’
It’s not just the fun loving, outrageous, cheesy comedy that the title intimates. It stars Williams as ‘Lance Clayton,’ a struggling writer and a dad to terrible teenage son, Kyle (Daryl Sabara). The story develops around the tragedy of his son’s sudden death and how he and those around him struggle to cope.
Written and directed by Bobcat Goldthwait, “World’s Greatest Dad” stars Robin Williams, Alexie Gilmore, Daryl Sabara, Geoff Pierson, Henry Simmons and Mitzi McCall.
The films a great mix of comedy, sorrow, drama and different twists and turns. Most interestingly perhaps, it plays on the irony of how Clayton’s son is suddenly remembered and celebrated as a hero. The school that wished to expel him suddenly...
