Wow. I know there was a period where ABC was showing Bond movies on Sunday nights. I remember watching parts of some of them, but had to turn them off because i had to go to school the next day. I kind of remember the intro. Good find clum!
Some people would complain even if you hang them with a new rope
Ah, memories! I miss those old razzmatazz openings from the '70s and '80s--before cable TV and home video made any movie on network television just an ordinary event. Well, you can't go home again.

Yeah, that takes me back...1984 was pretty much the tail-end of it. All through the Seventies, ABC on Sunday nights was the only place (outside the cinema for a new film!) to see James Bond. By the mid-Eighties, videotape was heralding the end of the era.
Shaves a few years off my age to watch that intro B-)

I remember those nights well. My dad and I would settle before the tube with some popcorn and dad would always point out how different the movies were from the books. We both thought that Connery was cool and Roger Moore just didn't get it.
I watch my DVDs now and am outraged at how badly chopped the movies were for t.v. I read the Fleming novels now and am outraged at the liberties taken by those same movies.
Still, those Sunday nights were grand.
