jkt1964: First appearance of The Beatles on the U.S. TV program, The Ed Sullivan Show. 73 million people watched (about 45% of the U.S. population)
I was in the 5th grade and I think the family watched Red Skelton instead. Monday morning at school I thought when they were all talking about the mop heads it was about the Muppets who did the openings for Red Skelton. (Mahna Mahna)
