Are these syndication prints? Many of these seem to run only about 22-23 mintues and I thought for sure it was STANDARD in this era to be 25+. I notice the box says "complete" but it doesn't seem to indicate "uncut". Any word on this?

They are complete. During the first season, there was no set time that a television show must air. It depended on the sponsor for that week.

...however, the original opening, transitions to the Philip Morris commercials, Lucy & Desi's "closing plug" for PM and original closing credits were about four minutes. The body of each episode is about 25 minutes. When the episodes were "reedited" for network rebroadcasts (beginning in 1955) and future syndication, the opening and closing titles were "standardized" (adding up to about one minute).

Also, footage cut was restored, such as several references to Philip Morris
