It's on as we speak, but I think they are showing it again at 1 a.m.

Does USA cut its movies? I remember watching a network TV edit of GE a few months ago and was surprised at what they cut out. Why censor shots of people getting hit by bullets when there's not even any visible blood?

censors are strange beasts, who can understand them?

I dislike watching Bond and any other movie for that matter on TV due to the censors botching of the film. We all remember the '76 CBS showing of OHMSS.

"Was Xenia's headbutt shown?"

No, pretty sure that was censored for TV too.

I didn't watch it all -- only to about the point where Natalya is captured by Boris and Xenia. Up until that point though there were no edits whatsoever.

How come the censor's have a problem with a woman hitting another woman, while Pierce Brosnan and Sean Bean are bloody messes by the end of the movie?

I hate to kinda vent off-topic, but...

From what we know, the following networks have the following Bond films:
TNN: Dr. No to Octopussy
TBS/TNT: A View to a Kill to Licence to Kill
USA: Goldeneye

I assume TND/TWINE has not made national US TV debuts yet (or have they?), but I find it odd that TNN will only have one Brosnan film (DAD, which they'll air around 2005 or so), unless they somehow get the remaining films...

I'm fairly positive I saw TND on CBS a long while back. In fact, this is just a guess, I think it was on during the 2003 Academy Awards.

Viacom owns CBS, TNN and UPN and has the current rights to TND, TWINE and DAD (after a couple of years of PPV and premium cable). Both TND and TWINE have aired on CBS, TWINE for the first time (on network TV) right before DAD premiered last Nov. Viacom has said they plan to try and obtain the currently owned TBS films when their contracts end. I'd assume they're planning the same for GE.

Interestingly MGM is in the process of trying to buy Vivendi which owns USA, and if they succeed I wonder how long before all the Bonds are then shown there.

Not sure that necessarily follows. MGM also has a large stake in the cable channel "American Movie Classics" and they have never shown up on there. I know 007 isn't American but that didn't stop AMC from running the documentary "Bond Girls are Forever" last fall.
