Part of the reason for this is that the American version of the show was dubbed by people that did not speak Japanese.  If I remember correctly, they did not have translations of the Japanese script.  I'll have to look at the documentary on the first DVD, but I think they got each episode with some sort of plot synopsis and then had a week to dub it in English.

By the way, Speed Racer was made in the 60's
