Re-Watching a Childhood Favourite

I have been watching the original Sailor Moon, and I am so disappointed in what America did to the dubbed version....
Within the first six episodes we lost three, and that is just really sad. The theme song was changed from beautiful to more like a superhero theme song.
Some of the original Japanese music was removed. Though I do like the English music for some reason, but sometimes the Japanese music was better.
I watched the movies, and I know I didn't see the Super S one but I do not remember the S, and R ones which I did watch since they were aired on a Canadian channel. I watched them in Japanese, so they must of butchered the movies as well.
It is really sad, but this show should have been aired for it's original audience of young teens/adults.
We got 89 (excuse me I mean 120, here's advice: don't trust wiki) out of 200 episodes, because they completely omitted Sailor Moon S, and Super S. It is a really sad realization that we lost out to so much.
There are parts of the dub I do love but I am glad to finally be watching the original series at last.
