The new Steve Jobs movie has several Beatle references.
1. His long time, long suffering assistant describes the crowd as "a scene out of A Hard Day's Night."
2. Andy, another expert who went back a long ways with Steve Jobs said he was tired of being Ringo and why was Steve Jobs always slated to be John.
3. Steve Jobs said John got to be John because he wrote "Ticket to Ride" and not by hitting George Harrison over the head to get to the top slot. There were a few more Ringo-John references. (Note: Paul was the only Beatle who was not mentioned at all in this movie.)
4. Footage of John Lennon in the famous Bed-In for Peace was showed at the very end.

The 1970 episode "Funny Money" on Room 222 a character named Michael (Eric L'aneville) says he's "saving up to buy that new Beatles' album." Given the time table, you know it was Let it Be.
Same show, same season in the episode entitled "The New Boy," a transfer student who is a pathological liar tells his classmates he can get them Rollibg Stones tickets. The new boy goes to a ticket agent and says "last time it was a Beatles' concert!"
Another episode of Room 222 that same season, the character of Bernie, when asked about a "bad act" says "Ringo singing without the rest of the Beatles!"

On a 1970 episode of Room 222 entitled "Goodbye, Mr. Hip," Richie (Howard Rice) said, "you'll just have to settle for records by inferior groups like the Beatles and the Rolling Stones." This was in jocular response to the band taking a break between sets.

On the 12/23/1972 episode of The Osmonds entitled “The Luck of the Osmonds,” Jimmy sings “Long Haired Lover From Liverpool.” A little Beatles’ influence, perhaps? The weird looking plane they fly in the 1972 cartoon has a drawing of Beatles’ poster.
