 I wrote 230 - Dave thinks he was correcting me and it should
be 10x25 (250).
 But I was taking into account the fact that 25 minute run
times always come up a little short as the slot they fit in
has to include announcements, trailers and might have censor
cuts - altogether The War Games was just over 241 minutes of
runtime (the Wikipedia entry for the War Games details that
episode by episode).
 In addition, there are 9 sets of opening titles, 9 sets of
closing titles, and 9 sections of cliffhanger reprise that
can be cut without losing one second of story footage. I
guesstimated the full impact of those at 10 minutes, which
might be excessive but not by much.

 Heavy CHOP!

From 230 to 90 minutes will indeed be a heavy chop. But I'd be surprised if
 the "cut" from 250 to 230 is more than 30 seconds of real run time across
 all 10 episodes.
