Welcome, Rejoyce; glad to have another one who prefers the 1963 series! You might be interested in this post of links to the 89 episodes excluded from the English dubbed version. Plenty of images & discussion of the episodes; your comments are wecome.
From the start, Tezuka intended to make about 200 episodes; NBC & Fred Ladd, who imported the series, only expected 52 episodes. When Tezuka offered season 2, Ladd & NBC refused, but reconsidered after making a deal that no other company would be offered the last 2 seasons (3 & 4). Fred Schodt's book ASTRO BOY ESSAYS has the full explanation.

Also not all of the episodes of the first two seasons were selected by NBC for various reasons (they felt the content was not appropriate for their intended audience). Also with one exception they didn't want any stories that extended over two episodes. The only exception to that were the two Cleopatra episodes, each of which could stand alone well enough. (So they left out the robot bomb story, the greatest robot in the world arc, and the Blue Knight arc.)
