Just nitpicking here, but McCoy ("bones") was not on TNG (The Next Generation). He was on TOS ("The Original Series") instead.

Not to nitpick a nitpicker, or presume Joe's original meaning, but the phrase "the real McCoy" predates Star Trek, and television for that matter. It generally means "the real thing" or "the genuine article." If that was not Joe's intent, then I'd say he was guilty of a really bad pun...
