I think I told this story in another thread but here goes anyway...
I was only really familiar with the DIC dub that ran on Toonami. Part of me always thought it was a little strange that only Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, and Venus had scouts/senshi and every episode I found myself hoping we'd finally get to meet another one but it just never happened. Then Toonami released the 17 "lost" episodes of R, where Sailor Pluto made her first appearance. I even remember recording the episodes on VHS tapes because the previews alluded to a new one and I was SO excited. Then she finally showed up and this tall, tan, green-haired woman was glorious and gave me hope that others existed. Though at this point I wasn't even aware that the show had seasons beyond R.
We didn't have internet at home yet but one day I went to my step-dad's work and while he was off doing work stuff he left me alone in his office with his computer and internet. I searched for "Sailor Saturn" not really expecting anything to show up but then next thing I knew I was looking at the others. My mind was blown. They were so mysterious to me and I needed to know more. Though this was back before the days of Wikipedia or even image searches so all I had to go by were those fansites made with Geocities and Angelfire.
I never actually did getting around to watching the S and SS dubs. By the time they came around I already had those seasons on tapes from Japan with English subtitles.
