Only Spike TV has shown them in their entirety...but even then, you have to deal with the commercial breaks.

Definitely get the uncut stuff.

I can definitely understand this. I didn't have to worry about this, because the first time I watched the Godfather movies were a few years ago. I watched an old taped version of GFI from encore. I then rented the second two. Though I got the entire storyline of the GF trilogy, I did have trouble following another Pacino movie due to censorship on cable channels. That movie was Devil's Advocate. I had no idea what was going on while watching it on TNT, so much was cut out (the suicide part, especially) and it confused the hell outta me. Fortunately, I was able to watch it all on HBO (and I thought...wow! there's more to this scene). But yeah, it's as if you have to have already seen the movie, to actually enjoy it on cable television.
