It’s the same reason why we quoted Monty Python- it was near impossible to watch, so our quotes were how we shared the experience. I am sure we made mistakes about of the exact dialogue, but we were close enough to be entertained.
In the 80s, you could easily find some TV channel playing reruns of Star Trek in syndication. That's how I watched it as a kid.
