So back to the old time-slot since Toonami can't handle Uncut DBZ anymore. Anime hyper

I fond it odd they began airing the old dubbed episodes, but with a TV-PG. >_>

Actually, they've already started airing DBZ at 10:30pm again...

Monday night (the 14th) They showed a Freeza saga episode at 10:30pm, right after ep. 1 of One Piece.

But yeah, at least I can watch my daily DBZ again! And before Adult Swim to boot!

I hope they start right where they left off with the uncut episodes.

So does this mean that the going back to the regular episodes or are they continuing with uncut?
Also does this mean that OT Wulin Warriors has finally left the lineup?

As the late, great actor Clark Gable once said:

"Frankly my dear, I don't give a..." (You know the rest.)

It's odd that the "old dubbed episodes" would air with "TV-PG", because it's actually, a mistake (it should by TV-Y7), and they know it (at least that's what I would say, but I actually don't think they do know it; I'm not sure they know anything anymore). I have never agreed with the use of TV ratings, but if TOON is going to use them, then they need to use them right (however, I personally don't think they can even do that).

In any case, chances are it will disappear after a couple or so months (give or take a week), so don't get used to it.

I heard somewhere that they're showing the third season. It's the one where FUNimation started to pick up on the Namek arc.

the third season... it's DBZ right? An' i know this is a little off topic, but, what's the Z and GT stand for? I've never really quite figured that out yet, mew.

I'm all for Dragonball Z still being on the air (hell my online persona is all about vegeta), but could we get more repeats of Justice Leauge as opposed to many days of a show at least 10 years old?

nuu... i'm not up for any repeats of the justice league. it's too elementary school-ish. DBZ and Tenchi... and whatever other good anime that used to be on should come back... especially Tenchi Muyo the very first seasons i wouldn't mind.

What, and DBZ isn't? (You're ignoring the fact that JL happens to be a better written, better animated, and generally more wholesome show than a lot of Anime on CN).

To answer your question, the Z/GT denoted the change in tone for the franchise in general. Z starts when the Saiyan Saga begins (Gohan is show to everyone else, Raditz comes, Goku dies for the first time). Before that the show was just Dragonball. In the manga though, all of DB and DBZ were just "Dragonball". GT is an anime-only series that occours 10 years after Z. It doesn't have a manga.

I'd actually argue the contrary, that Justice League is the slightly more mature show for the way it handles such things as the political and ethical repercussions of many of the storylines, as well as the interpersonal relationships between the characters. Just because it's a superhero show does not make it, by default, "kiddified," and Justice League in particular is actually quite rich in the kind of character and story development capable of attracting an older audience just as well as the superhero action attracts a younger audience. Moreso than DBZ, I'd venture to argue.
