Tenchi Muyo started back in 1992, with an OVA (Original Video Animation, aka OAV) series.
Tenchi Muyo! Ryo-Ohki! Tenchi Muyo! (1992) - This IMDB entry includes OVA 1, OVA 2, OVA 3, and all specials, I believe.
As of this writing, the individual U.S. OVA DVDs (4 volumes) and the OVA Box set (all from Pioneer/Geneon Entertainment) are Out of Print. These discs included OVA 1, the first special, and OVA 2 as one continuous series.
The first OVA had 6 episodes:
01 - Ryoko Resurrected
02 - Here Comes Ayeka!
03 - Hello Ryo-Ohki!
04 - Mihoshi Falls to the Land of Stars
05 - Kagato Attacks!
06 - We Need Tenchi
Then came a Special that bridged the gap between the first and second OVA:
07 - The Night Before the Carnival
Next, there was a second OVA, considered to be a continuation of the first OVA:
08 - Hello Baby
09 - Sasami & Tsunami
10 - I Love Tenchi
11 - The Advent of the Goddess
12 - Zero Ryoko
13 - Here Comes Jurai
Finally, there were four more specials/OVAs during this time, and a bit after. The U.S. DVD from Pioneer is called Tenchi Muyo - Mihoshi Special/Magical Girl Pretty Sammy, and includes all 4 of these specials. This is also OOP at this time. These specials aren't listed separately in IMDB.
In 2003, there was finally a follow-up to the original OVAs, with episodes 14-19, plus a special episode 20. The IMDB link for this is the same as the original series, but these DVDs are put out by Funimation, and are readily available. Some of these Tenchi Muyo! Ryo Ohki! DVDs from Funimation are called The Complete Series, but they still only contain episodes 14-20.

In 1995, a TV series was introduced, with 26 episodes. There were 8 individual volumes, a complete box set, and a repackaged "Complete Collection", all from Pioneer/Geneon Entertainment. These are all OOP at this time.
Character design on the 4 specials and on Tenchi Universe was fairly close to the original OVA series, although the specials and the Tenchi Universe each had a different continuity.
