Probably not. My interest was first sparked when I caught a few seconds of the Wedding Arc, from a distance, while on holiday. And, since I've had this thing for years about evil doubles (even being known to watch an episode of a show I hated if that was the theme of the week)I immediately sat up straight and went, "Hel...lo! What's that?"
At the time, I couldn't watch further, but it caught my attention enough that some months later, when I spotted reruns on a cable channel, I tuned in to the last half of The Phoenix and...well, the rest is history.
So if those episodes had never been aired...think it's doubtful I'd have realised what I was missing. (Despite my best friend telling me constantly for some time before that and being poo poo'd by me for watching 'that kid's show'. :rolleyes: )
