"The Squire of Gothos" - TOS Remastered
1966-69: 50 minutes (51 with next week's brief teaser)
1970s and '80s: 46-1/2 minutes
1990's: 44-1/2 minutes
2000's: 43-1/2 minutes
2010's: 43 minutes
Any chance to slip in another jeans or car commercial. 7 minutes of a fifty-minute episode is already gone and that's one-seventh of the entire story content sacrificed for a little more ad revenue. I like MeTV a lot and watch TOS Remastered on the channel pretty frequently, but the original show is so butchered to pieces with missing scenes and bad editing that you're better off streaming on Netflix or getting the discs.

The gratuitous cuts and edits to the current crop of TOS episodes would be a little more tolerable were they not so sloppy and erratic, but that ship's long since sailed. I don't mind watching the cable edits of the series because TOS is still TOS whether the original episode remains fully intact or not, but Netflix and other online sources are the refuge for the fan who wants his Trek the way Gene and the producers originally intended.
Without 17 minutes of cereal and pizza ads and the end credits shrunken down into the lower corner of the screen so another show's promo can be aired over top of them.
