Honestly I wish I had experienced more of the old dub. I truly do feel like I missed out.
I saw the DiC one when it was playing in like 95/96, but I was 6 at the time. They advertised heavily that they were going to be airing new episodes at a certain date (which would've been the rest of R) and on the day of, where I was nearly shaking with excitement, when they instead played the first episode of the series -- that would've been when the dub was cancelled -- it was so earth shatteringly disappointing at that age that I quit watching the series. The disappointment was just so cataclysmic I can still remember it vividly, and I'm 30 now lol.
By the time the dub actually had continued, at that age those few years was an entire lifetime, I had moved on.
I returned to the series in 05, and while I really loved it then and still do now, being 16 was already at a point of being too old to feel that same level of excitement as a younger kid. Especially because at 16 I only re-watched season 1 and the tree arc (subbed), and was mostly watching PGSM and Myu. By the time I actually finished R and watched S, and SuperS I was in my late 20s and I only just watched Sailor Stars properly for the first time last month lol.
But when the old dub was playing I was much younger, and I would've been much more capable of that wide eyed excitement that a lot of people got to experience with the series. So yeah. Again, I feel like I missed out. I can only just barely remember the DiC dub as a 6 year old so it's not the same as my affection for Digimon when I was watching that as a 10 year old where I can remember pretty much every detail of that run.
