They seem to play better on TV. They were very commercial in style and survive advertising breaks pretty well. Commercials during Connery's films are extremely distracting. I love TB but find it very hard to watch on TV, yet can't turn MR off. Isn't it great when you are channel-surfing and you find a Bond flick? (My wife doesn't think so.)

I caught Moonraker last night, and put in my widescreen VHS of Thunderball instead. I will never be able to forgive the powers that be for gang-raping Fleming's Moonraker novel. That's up there on par with what was done to Casino Royale and Man With The Golden Gun...

Despite my earlier post, I skipped right over MR last night as well. Watched the news. Maybe I have seen the gang-rape victim one too many times.

WHAT A GREAT MARATHON--I watched every movie--did anyone see DAF on TNN a day after the Moore Marathon ended--this March was the BEST MONTH OF MY LIFE!!!

so what is the deal?

~Does ABC own the series???
UPN??
TNN?
TBS??

How is this working now, I thought TBS owned it.. then ABC bought it right? How did TNN & UPN get it...

I agree...I really like the commercial breaks that TNN comes up with -- pretty clever graphics. My only problem is that TNN seems to find it acceptable to place a commercial break while a character is in mid-sentence.

ABC picked up the rights to the series in expectation of a writers strike last year. When the movies failed to set the ratings on fire they let those rights go and they were picked up by Viacom.

yeah on ABC all the bond movies just bombed!!! Plus adding panties on that girl in DAF was really lame!

[DLibrasnow]

Yeah they were a real disappointment for ABC.

[4 Ur Eyez Only]

did ABC even get through all the 007 movies.. or did they just stop? I remember the sean ones were bombing!! .. and then I think I might have seen maybe the first 2 roger's and they did about the same..

did they actually get through the full 007 bond films Dr No - LTK??
