1978 - Ringo (1 of 6)

[lapislazuli7]

George looks impossible. Taste is the one thing you cannot argue about.

[AkiroXKE]

"A fireman wouldn't chase you, unless you were on fire." So true!

[KeithHarvestmuahaha]

love the Rutles reference George snuck in there.

[misspurity91]

Ognir Rrats is Ringo Starr backwards on the billboard xD

[violinchick89]

[Taggerung12]

"I'm not a nerd... they shouldn't call me a nerd.."

"Hi Nerd!"

"Hi!"

[kimberlyestoque13]

[oobah2]

[Rileewyliecoyote]

This is quite possibly the best movie I've ever seen.

[llamawalrus]

The Rutles quote "I think it was the trousers" Win!!!

[lakefloor]

I remember seeing this when it originally aired. Fantastic! George and Ringo are awesome!

[toocheaptobuyatripod]

George is a pair of glasses away from Weird Al!

[ClarkSavageJr]

Wow...I haven't thought of Ognir Rats for years. Thank you SO MUCH for unearthing this.

[remtiw]

George mentions the rutles! "I think it was their trousers".

[Millygraham]

[XxRingoStarrsGirlxX]

"...I'm not a nerd...They shouldn't call me a nerd...."

[cinnamoncinder]

This REALLY happened!!!

[Gothicanime20]

@cinnamoncinder ....Sure it did.

[Sonovox01]

The George Harrison opening nod to the Rutles special that had appeared the week before was brilliant.

[StrangeBrewJT]

Funny, i was just reading about this (again) in one of my many Beatles books last night, and I happen to stumble on this this morning. So glad to finally see it. Thank You.

[Shiek07]

BEST. EVAR. <3333333333

[zfloid44]

Yes! yeah

[ben77114gaut]

un bon show que nous n'avons pas eu la chance de voir en France

[soupful]

FUN 'Ringo" special from 1978 I'd hoped to see this for a very longtime wish it was out on DVD. damn Carrie Fisher was so cute back then!

[Landrew120880]

Would like to get a copy of the alt version of Im The Greatest.

[breedofrandy]

Awesome! I didn't know this was on Youtube! I only found it on this weird site! Thanks for uploading this! :)

[msradx]

<3 George and Ringo.

LOVE THIS.

[moonbeam97005]

This is so funny.....Ringo was great, especially (as always) on the drums,

and his alter ego/look-a-like, Ognir,

was absolutely hilarious!! I was pleased that "It Don't Come Easy", With A Little Help from My Friends" and a snippet of "Octopus's Garden" were included in the program, but disappointed that "Photograph" wasn't. Oh well, you can't please 'em all! :-)

[maximus118]

Ognir Rrats = Ringo Starr Lol!

[FunIdeasMark]

RIP to Mike Douglas, Vincent Price and Art Carney as well. I wish Ringo would release this to home video, but he's probably embarrassed by it as much as George Lucas is about "The Star Wars Christmas Special" also written by the same writers and circa 1978.

[1nceBitten2wiceShy]

He has GOOD REASON to be embarrassed! Not necessarily that he appeared in this program, but that he TURNED DOWN scripts for TV specials that were written by both the Firesign Theatre and the team of Graham Chapman (Monty Python) and Douglas Adams (Hitchhiker's Guide To the Galaxy)! - 1b2s

[Headbanger142]

We love you Ringo! Great to hear he'll be on the Hollywood Walk of Fame!

Also, is it me or does George's speech at the beginning remind you a bit of Ringo's Mr. Conductor Intro? lol

[TinaM1177]

Oh I didn't know that Ringo Starr will receive his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2010. I love Ringo's Music and he is a very deserving Musician. Thank you for posting this tele-movie!!!

[Connor6742]

Thank you VERY MUCH for posting this. It's a great big hunk of 70's television cheese, but I remember watching it that summer of 78. Hey, it was Ringo and Carrie Fisher from STAR WARS! What 13 year old nerd could resist! It like the "You're 16" video the best, and it's really the only thing I remembered from the show. Reminds me of those 7-Up commercials from the 70's as well.

Thanks for posting! Great trip down memory lane.

[TinaM1177]

Soo sad that John Ritter and George Harrison have left this world. You are both dearly missed by all of your fans.

RIP dear George and John Ritter...

Peace & Love, Tina
