I actually just saw the first Godfather, all the way through, for the first time in 2001. However, I actually saw GF2 first - I remember just flicking channels and stumbling upon it on USA Network. I think it was about 30 minutes into the movie, but I watched the rest of it. I started asking my friend, a fanatic of both GFI & GFII, all of my questions. From that point, I began watching both movies whenever they came on t.v. At the time, they were on USA, AMC, and a few other stations regularly. I know at least 2 of those showings were the Saga. I remember Christmas 2002 that the Saga came on b/c we were snowed in for most of the day. I remarked to my wife that it was, indeed, a "Goombah Christmas."
