Well, I sent a snail and e mail note to SFM this morning, and already heard back from them, which I quote below. Well, at least they answered my query. So, whether a form email or not, I appreciate hearing back from them.

**Thank you for your e-mail regarding "The Real McCoys".

We digitally re-mastered all 224 episodes, using the best materials
owned by the original copyright holders, which, in many instances, were
the 23-minute versions. Where the elements were available and the quality
was good, we did use the longer versions. I do know that the quality
of the series is superb and hope that you will enjoy all 224 episodes.

We prefer to release 'pristine', slightly edited, versions of these
shows, rather than 'poor' quality full versions. There is enough of that
with the so-called 'Public Domain' bootleggers. In every situation, we
do believe in preserving these great shows of the past and trust you
will be looking out for future SFM Entertainmnet product.

Thank you for your keen interest in what we do and how we do it. We
value your opinions. **
