Talk:The Beatles (TV series)

message: I think a picture from the show would make more sense.  I might have one to upload, but it is not in colour.  The DVD shown is an obvious bootleg which may contain the show, but does not necessarily illustrate the article. Sposato (talk) 03:35, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

message: Paul was not the leader; Lennon was. He founded the group and its predecessors, and was the constant through all variations. The Paul as leader thing is a popular misconception. Paul attempted to take more and more command following Brian Epstein's death because he thought the band needed that void to be filled (that's where the misconception came from). The other band members resented this and this very thing is what helped their demise. And especially for the time period the cartoon dealt with, Lennon was clearly the leader.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.69.49.158 (talk) 05:28, 3 April 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: John and Paul were both much more extrovert and dominant within the group than George and Ringo from the start. From the very start of media attention to Beatlemania around 1963 and 1964, John and Paul were both considered the bandleaders who were leading the "quiet one" and the "funny one" standing in the back, even if the band was never The Beatles up until Ringo joined them. But still, this article is not about them IRL, it's about their characterization as characters on the Saturday morning cartoon. --2003:71:4F4B:6397:754C:28EC:84CD:9CCD (talk) 18:35, 8 July 2018 (UTC)

message: The article is tagged as not citing sources. For what it's worth, this passage from the description of George's character stood out to me: "...almost always giving the impression of frowning due to his character's eyebrows becoming thicker as they reach his nose." I distinctly remember reading close to those exact words during the show's run (probably in TV Guide), so they may have originated in some sort of press release. Richard K.

message: I'm pretty sure the sections "season 4" and "album" are total BS. Google isn't coming up with anything that's for sure. Tymime (talk) 08:46, 27 June 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  False info 

message: This article is missing a US daytime airing of the show sometime in the early 1980's  several years before the Disney Channel ever existed.  I was born in the late 70's, watched this in kindergarten or pre-k and then the Disney channel happened a few years later. I came here to find out exact dates only to see them missing from the article.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.153.249.41 (talk) 04:32, 1 March 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: You probably wouldn't have understood at kindergarten age, but in the 1970s and early 80s it was possible for local stations in the U.S. to air the series; it was not anything "national". I myself saw in my hometown around 1979 a local station airing the cartoons, in customized compilations, initially on weekday afternoons, later on weekend mornings, independent of any "national" broadcast entity. 2601:545:8201:6290:69EF:9F51:54E0:290B (talk) 23:59, 21 January 2024 (UTC)

message: The songs listed as singalongs for the episodes don't match the titles of the episodes, though they do match other episodes. I can't fix this because I don't have the data.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tinpantithesis (talk • contribs) 14:58, 13 August 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: That's because many songs were adapted twice: Once as actual performance songs within the episodes, and once as singalongs, but every episode had the performance song, not the accompanying singalong as its title. --2003:71:4F4B:6397:754C:28EC:84CD:9CCD (talk) 18:38, 8 July 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Episode Songs and Titles Don't Match 

message: The section Reception talks of a season 4 and that the show's production lasted up until 1969, while the list of episodes only has three seasons and ends in 1967. --2003:71:4F4B:6397:754C:28EC:84CD:9CCD (talk) 18:40, 8 July 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Season 4? 

message: This series actually had 2 intro themes; a full 1-minute animation featuring band photos and clips from the series synced to an actual Beatles song, and the shorter, more well known guitar riff that opened the animated segments.  The longer theme actually changed songs every season, with season 1 being "Can't buy me love", season 2 being "Help!" and season 3 being "And Your Bird Can Sing". I thought someone might want to add this.
