I've been watching these for some time on Saturday nights here in Los Angeles on KTLA. Overall, I'm happy with the new scenes. They're in character with the original, though they do look considerably better.

I agree, much better colors and the actors really have different skin tones, fun to see the minor changes here and there!
Sorry to say but if you're watching it on KTLA its not ever going to be origional. The origional series was 52 minutes long. Even when they were first rerun on channel 13 they were cut since by then there were more add minutes.
Consider that today if you edit out the comercials you only get 43 minutes of program. Almost a full quarter of your hour is hawking stuff. And the show minutes INCLUDE the lead in which is for new shows very short, and older ones often much longer. So even if the picture is remastered without the fade out of film, which is why old copies look so pale, and without all the many edits done along the way, you STILL won't see what those of us saw back when it first captured our imagination back in 66 and so forth.
I'd like a remastered (film wise) FULL version with NO edits on dvd and available on online sorces like netflix and amazon. Probably is a good thing those casette tapes my friends and I did of our OWN episodes which likely wouldn't have pleased NBC broadcast standards have long ago gone to audio tape recycling.
I recently saw "Journey to the Far Side of the Sun" on broadcast TV. It was made in 1969 but was remastered about 5 years ago. It looked so crisp and bright, I could have believed it was a current day movie with a retro theme. I don't know if any edits/additions were made - I'm not for those. BTW, the (model) rocket launch segment was pretty damn impressive for 1969!
