Would you mind if DB came back to a kids tv channel?

Discussion regarding the entirety of the franchise in a general (meta) sense, including such aspects as: production, trends, merchandise, fan culture, and more.

I prefer it not to be, as it wouldn't be uncut. Despite this, I wouldn't be against it entirely. Maybe keep it on a Time Warner channel like Cartoon Network or Boomerang so Toonami would keep the rights to air an uncut version? I dunno.
Looking for these rare items/information:

Any information or recordings pertaining to Dragon Ball Z's syndicated run on WAWB
Any information regarding the stations that carried the origin Dragon Ball in the USA
Dragon Box (any deals would be nice)
Shonen Jumps with Dragon Ball in them

Disney XD's standards might not make it so great. Recall when Shippuden was on there, things were censored that the original series' run on CN were able to get away with.

And while I know it won't happen since they don't like action shows now, would like if DB's sister series Fairy Tail was on CN around 6ish on weekdays so more people could get to know about it. Could work with a TVPG rating.

While I feel like the (eventual hopefully) Funi dubs of DBZ Kai: The Final Chapters and DB Super should be released uncut, I feel it would be nice for them to have versions suitable for broadcast on kid-friendly hours and stations. Then again, considering DBZ Kai sometimes reruns at 8 PM...

I don't see Super airing two versions at once. The series is sold better uncut and Funimation will keep it like that.

Even if a cut version doesn't air in the US, it might be useful in other countries like the UK, which I'm not sure if it ever broadcast Kai uncut.

Same with Australia. Though I can't recall if Kai was uncut as I remember it airing late on weeknights. It may have gotten an initial run at an earlier time, though.

I've seen some members suggest that Super's delay to coming to America could be due to Toei being unwilling to air it on Niche Toonami. While I feel Toonami is not all that niche, it would be nice if Super came in a channel or timeslot where lots of people could watch it.

Super will do fine on Toonami. The new Toonami has been airing for four years now and I don't see it stopping anytime soon.

I hope it airs on the 8PM slot. That's the most accessible to general audiences, although the 12PM slot is quite high rated.

Won't happen. AS needs to make money from Fox Shows during that time. That's why their original shows air later during the night since they are too niche to air early.

But DBZKai already airs at that time. But only on Saturdays.
