here in the UK the O-OT used to be on every christmas for years on network tv on ITV. I remember in 1995 an ad on sky movies a channel on the Murdoc/Fox owned sky satelite network saying see the films in their original form for the last time. The next time they was on tv was in 1999 on sky movies but these were the SE's. in 2001 ITV showed the SE's for the first time on 3 saturday nights IV V then VI then they showed PM. They did the same thing twice in 2002 and once in 2003 thats the last time i saw the films in any form on tv. The scfi channel over here dont show them but repeats Back to the future and ET a lot along with the great Tremors tv series.
