When are we gonna see James Bond on TV? Its not so much that I want to see the films, because I have them, but I just really miss CyberBond when TBS hosted it. It was so much fun and it was nicely done, but TBS doesn't have the films anymore (at least not the first 13). I don't even know who does, but I think its ABC. Has anyone heard of any possible online Bond trivia games coming up this fall? Personally, I'm dissappointed with how these films haven't been played at all for such a long time...

I loved CyberBond. Won me a pair of sunglasses with a nice leather "15 days of 007" case.

ABC is going to be showing the Bond films on Saturdays in chronological order up to Octopussy starting next month. I think TBS should take advantage of what they have and do a "007 weekend" thing with a slimmed down CyberBond.

When I was at college they played "License to Kill" once a month or so. No kidding.

I wonder why they are only showing up until Octopussy (of the official flicks), and not the entire series, through the Brosnan years and including Goldeneye. I THINK it was ABC that showed Goldeneye on TV. Also, why are they showing that annoying NSNA??

TBS still has the rights to all of the post-Octopussy Bond films. I would think ABC will pick up these rights as they become available.

Yeah, I do miss the TBS Bond marathon, although I think that Q's Codebreaker game is still available on their site,which I like. The only Bond film I've recently seen on TV wasn't even an official one; it was Never Say Never Again,which was on Sunday or Monday. I didn't even bother to watch all of it.

ABC is planning some sort of "James Bond Saturday" in the style of the TBS marathons. I recently saw an ad in...I forget where I saw it. I'll try and get more details.
