No they didn't. It was sadly shown again. I didn't realize that other Bond films got the same treatment. Apparently for Two Minute Warning they even shot extra scenes.
I do have the original ABC broadcast of OHMSS on videotape.
It is truly, truly shocking and the film is cut up as much as the SPECTRE skier who fell into the snowplough(including that bit).
The darkest grimmest days of Bond on ABC. Sadly things haven't much improved viz their recent cancelled season.
When I first saw GOLDFINGER on ABC, they cut the entire pre-title sequence. It just started with the main title. I videotaped FRWL off ABC in 1981, and it was hacked up quite a bit (the entire gypsy camp/assassination scene was removed, among others -- like when Bond rejects his first hotel room). The gunbarrel from Thunderball was removed, save the circle opening up on the coffin.

Some minor additions to TMWTTG & Octopussy:
TMWTGG, "Chew Me in Grisly Land": 2 cues segued at 2:02, 1. Bond meets Chew Me, 2. Bond in Grisly Land (10 secs are missing from the beginning of 2.)
"Kung Fu Fight" 28 secs missing from the beginning
"Goodnight Goodnight" 2 cues segued at 4:36, 1. Goodnight Goodnight (only first 53 secs used in the film, the rest is dialed out; scene tracked with unpublished 'Bond meets Andrea'), 2. Andrea returns to Scaramanga
"Return to Scaramanga's Fun House" some portions (3:00-3:16 and 4:56-5:14) dialed out in the film
Octopussy, "Bond Look-Alike" 2 cues segued at 1:52, 1. Bond look-alike, 2. Bond escapes
"009 Gets the Knife and Gobinda Attacks" 4 cues segued at 0:52, 1:16, 2:12, 1. 009 gets the knife, 2. Gobinda loads gun, 3. Gobinda attacks part 2 (58 secs James Bond Theme missing from the end), 4. Gobinda attacks, part 1 (it seems that this cue was tracked for Bond racing on the rails later in the film)
(on the other hand, "Yo-Yo Fight and Death of Vijay" is just one cue)
"The Palace Fight" is expanded in the film: 1:44-2:00 is looped and an unpublished version of the James Bond Theme is inserted between the two repeats

I have a few suggestions of track placement.
THUNDERBALL-I put the instrumental version of MR. KISS KISS BANG BANG(track 12) as the first track on the "In sequence" disc. It makes for really cool entrance music. Also, since there are various versions of MR. KISS KISS BANG BANG to juggle, it keeps at least one version from piling up on others at disc's end.
YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE-I've decided to place the JAMES BOND THEME after the END TITLES. It should slice into the LITTLE NELLIE cue but I didn't want to cut that track up as it's so tight. Anyway, it makes for a nice buffer along with TANAKA'S WORLD, before the ALTERNATE END TITLES.
O.H.M.S.S.-I placed the JAMES BOND THEME between OVER AND OUT & BATTLE AT PIZ GLORIA. It comes at a price however. I decided, because of space, to cut the instrumental WE HAVE ALL THE TIME IN THE WORLD(track8)which does not appear in the film.
DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER-You can play around with Q'S TRICK(track 11). While it first is heard in the film(and probally most memorably) when Bond discovers the recently deceased Shady Tree(right after track 18, THE WHYTE HOUSE)it could also be placed after track 2 (BOND MEETS BAMBI AND THUMPER) It's actully the scene where the track gets it's name.

ABC's butchery of Bond made me swear off ever watching movies on tv!
GOLDFINGER also edited out the line where Goldfinger compares slaughtering thousands of people with nerve gas to the the number of people who die yearly on U.S. highways! No doubt, a car company was one of the sponsors.
DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER cut the scene where Wint & Kidd hold hands. My how times have changed!
