So am I missing something, or is there no Bond Christmas marathon on tv this year? The only thing I've found is Casino Royale on USA at 8.30 am on Christmas day. As far as I'm concerned, it isn't really Christmas until we've been treated to the sight of Roger Moore in bed with Grace Jones!

Yes its quite disappointing that none of the many Universal Channels, they own the rights, seem to want to play it. Epix, the new premium channel created by Paramount, MGM, and Lionsgate with be having a New Years marathon and will be playing some this week but the catch is you have to subscribe to the channel and in order to that you have to have the Verizon FIOS TV service.

Wow, I've never even heard of that channel. Yeah, it's disappointing. I miss the old TBS marathons from my childhood days (although I'm not sure they ever aired the marathons on Christmas). Didn't FX used to have one on Christmas? It's definitely not the holidays without a Bond marathon . . . especially when you only own 8 of the movies on DVD.

Oh, and Happy Christmas, dinovelvet . . .

it is strange with no marathon. pretty much the same last year. i ended up watching them on dvd early in the year to make up for it.
