Geeze!

This is amazing. I'm trying to watch OHMSS on SPIKE TV's "Thanksgiving James Bond Marathon" and, well, this isn't a James Bond marathon, it's a freakin' commercial marathon! Check it out.

*zencat turns on TV*

commercials, then...

Bond is trapped in gear room. Girls get instructions from Blofeld.

6 mins of commercials.

Bond escapes gear room.

6 mins of commercials.

Bond knocks out guard. Girls go down mountain.

6 mins of commercials.

Bond skis down mountain.

6 mins of commercials.

Fight in bell room, Bond saved by Tracy.

6 mins of commercials.

Forget it!

*zencat turns off TV*

[Derringer]

Yep. Remember when cable was commerical free? Those were the days.

Bond Girl #1 [a.k.a. Mrs. Derringer] has promised me the box DVD sets for Christmas. She promised this while we were in Vegas, and Bryce 003 is my witness. So she had better deliver!

[Bryce (003)]

Whew!

I thought it was just me.

Zencat's absolutely right on this call everyone. I suggest watching only if you are trapped at some relative's house and away from your DVD's.

*Bryce throws on OHMSS DVD*

Ooooo....Widescreen.....

[Bryce (003)]

Yes...True Derringer.

Mrs. D better deliver......

[Tarl_Cabot]

That's why I own the videos(except DAD). Goldeneye is on USA. Is that a marathon too?

Why is it that we pay for cable again? Wasn't the original deal that we could get commercial free TV if we pay a fee? Now we just pay for commercial TV. *shakes head*

What really bad about this SPIKE thing is it's the same annoying (and loud) commercials over and over again.

Well they want you to be softened up and have an overwhelming urge to go holiday shopping tomorrow.

But I would rather watch the James Bond marathon, with the continous interuption by commercials, on Spike TV than to deal with my relatives.

[Tarl_Cabot]

There weren't too many commericials between FRWL and TMWTGG-it was like 2 minutes...No so bad Zen!

No, USA only owns the rights to GoldenEye.

Spike TV really does massacre these movies and I would never think about sitting down and watching a whole movie. It's unbearable! But so far I have been quite content with catching snippits here and there. I wish TBS would get the rights to the Bond movies again. It was always so fun when they would air them, and it was something to get excited about.

[CommanderBond]

AAAA DUH...didnt you look at the schedual????Each movie is 3 hrs. long. The normal time with out commercials is 2hrs. and some change. You know there is going to be a lot of commercials if its on T.V.

I just noticed the same thing -- they went right into FRWL from OHMSS. The reason for this is they don't want you to channel surf. They want you hooked on the next one fast. Then they zap you with the endless commercials.

[CommanderBond]

well weve seen them all so whats the big deal if you have a couple of commercials??

Come on, CommanderBond. Don't roll over. Fight the power!

[Righty007]

I'll watch my own DVD's and VHS's instead of this crap!

[Dunph]

Ah, you woldn't get this in the UK. ITV treats the Bond films with reverance! Commercials every 15/20 mins. Bliss!

[Tarl_Cabot]

*Bond and Tracy stop*

6 mins commercials

amen..if you guys want a bond marathon the best thing to do is to watch your dvds or videos in any order you want to (if you have the time that is) and to hell with spike tv.

on christmas day that is what i am going to do dr no all the way through to die another day...might have to start on xmas eve though:D

[Dunph]

Good luck with it, 'Finesse. You might even be breaking a world record if you manage to stay awake! It's in my list of 'things to do before I die.'

Hey, I've just come up with a sub-standard Bond title!

[Qwerty]

Although I'd take the DVD's any day, I do enjoy seeing them on TV. It's just fun!

[Derringer]

Okay, we switched back to Bond. TWINE. Denise Richards is horrible!!!!

[rafterman]

I like putting it on in the background while the relatives are around, but if I really want to watch, then I go for the DVDs....but alas, it's not even Thanksgiving for me...

[Bondian]

Hi,

Don't kill me Guy's, when I was in 'Santa Maria' California in 1992 I watched 'Eddie Murphy' in 'Coming To America'. The movie started and as soon as the titles finished there was an ad break. It's a marathon watching a 90 minute feature in the States. By the time the movie started again I have forgotten what I was watching. I thought it was bad over here. LOL.

Our 'Wheel of Fortune' is played for 'points' not 'cash'. I can remember a Guy winning a House, a Car, A Boat, and about $30,000.00. Over here you either win a Car or

[CommanderBond]

Thats what I did ...I got the schedual off the site and started watching my movies yesterday.

[AgentHMO]

Is it just me, or are the "She Spies" getting to my tryptophan-addled head?

Anyways, I'm attempting to watch "The Living Daylights," in between the commercials. What's worse, the cable provider has to break in during Spike's ads with their own local ones. One can only tolerate the woman deluded enough to think The Weather Channel is talking to her ("Don't wear that, it's gonna rain!"), or the ref/jewelry shill begging us to buy diamond Packers earrings (the drawback to being a Badger Stater), or Neo from Matrix Direct to a certain point.

[CommanderBond]

Yeah i liked the way they did it last year. The commercials werent as bad. Maybe its because of Mtv now that they own Spike t.v.
