They did, in addition to the aforementioned clip shows. I don't really know all that much about the show other then that though, since its wikipedia entries don't really go into much detail, but judging by the few episodes of the show that have been translated, some of the episodes are themed around something specific rather then just being a clipshow of a specific series and, as mentioned before, it often features returning characters or characters from the then current Ultra series providing commentary. Basically, it was a cheap way of not only keeping the show on the minds of children but also providing them a history lesson on the franchise as a whole. I doubt many kids would be interested in watching sit through a show 30 years older then they are.
