James Bond is back on the small screen this Thanksgiving!

The newly branded Syfy (formerly Sci Fi Channel) channel will air 16 James Bond movies starting Thursday, November 26, 2009. This marks the first time the Bond movies will appear on the channel.

The US cable channel issued the following press release:

FROM JAMES BOND TO MEGA SHARK, SYFY CELEBRATES THE HOLIDAY SEASON WITH 34 MOVIES DURING THE THANKSGIVING WEEKEND, NOVEMBER 26-29

Marathon Features Syfy Original Movie Beyond Sherwood Forest, Starring Robin Dunne (Sanctuary) and Premiering Saturday, November 28, at 9PM (ET/PT)

New York, NY November 2, 2009 Syfy celebrates the Thanksgiving holiday weekend with a four-day, 34-movie marathon showcasing the world premiere of the Syfy Original Movie Beyond Sherwood Forest (starring Sanctuary's Robin Dunne); 16 James Bond flicks and creature features like Mega Shark vs Giant Octopus.

In Beyond Sherwood Forest, premiering Saturday, November 28, at 9PM (ET/PT), the evil Sheriff of Nottingham (Julian Sands/Warlock) uses a young woman (Erica Durance/Smallville) -- cursed to live in the form of a dragon -- to hunt down and destroy young Robin Hood (Dunne).

The curtain goes up on Thanksgiving Day, Thursday, November 26, at 8AM (ET/PT) with the first ever 007 movie, Dr. No. Seven more Bond films air that day, including the network premiere of Casino Royale at 9PM (ET/PT), which introduced Daniel Craig into the franchise.

Syfy's Bondfest continues Friday, November 27, with eight more films, beginning at 8AM (ET/PT) with Thunderball and ending with Never Say Never Again at 2:30AM (ET/PT), both starring Sean Connery.

Running Saturday, November 28, and Sunday, November 29, from 9AM (ET/PT) through 3AM (ET/PT) both days, the weekend creature feature movie festival is highlighted by genre favorites such as Mega Shark vs Giant Octopus, Lake Placid 2, Cyclops and Anaconda 3.
