The UUE TV Broadcast

[eledoremassis02]

Have the remaining episodes ever been found?

[DrBriefsCat]

Did CN really aired the whole thing visually uncut?

Like, didn't they ever visually changed anything? (Naked Gohan, Hell, Raditz and Goku bleeding, etc)

I recall it was uncensored from beginning to end. They even aired Goku's nudity in the Princess Snake episode (by accident!).

What about Gohan transforming back into a human in episode 8?

No. In the link I posted, there was a guy who claimed Cartoon Network put in the wrong tape that night and that scene was supposed to have originally aired edited. He supposedly had connections to people who worked at the network back in 2006.

To quash any rumors, sources indicate two scenes were supposed to be edited last night, but the wrong tape was aired. It'll be fixed for the next run. TV-PG does have its limits.

Just because CN advertised it as "uncut" didn't mean they could air a shot of a naked man on a kid's channel without complaints.
When the episode ran again, the Saban version was used instead.

Interesting, i didn't believed everything would have ran fully uncut , with a TV PG Rating

So, after that airing it was the Saban Episodes (The last reruns of those(?)

[jjgp1112]

Yeah, for some reason when they started re-airing the UUE episodes on Toonamion Saturday nights, they switched to the Saban episodes like midway through the Saiyan saga.

Ha ha ha ha ha. William C. Maune is the editor-in-chief of Toonzone, one of the leading animation news websites from back in the day.

Before that, they didn't reran those Saban episodes before?

The original edited first two seasons broadcast episodes (calling them the Saban episodes is weird to me because Saban only distributed the show in syndication and didn’t actually produce the episodes and had nothing to do with them airing on Toonami) ran on a constant loop from August 1998-September 1999 when Toonami finally started airing season 3 (which had already hit home video 5 months earlier) I don’t think they ever aired those episodes again (until circa 2006 apparently?) and would always just constantly re-run the current season until the next season. I distinctly remember Warriors of the Dead-Final Atonement (the broadcast fifth season) being on an loop for a good year

Regardless, airing the 67 redubbed in-house episodes uncut at least once was clearly always the intention again it was what the promotions were built around.

They aired them again prior to 2006. They would re-run the current season at least once but then start over with the first two seasons before the next one began. They re-aired both on Toonami and on a regular Cartoon Network timeslot on Saturdays. I think by the time Season Five had aired they stopped doing that.

It was Adult Swim, so DBZ was on the tamer end.

UUE 1-67 didn’t exactly replace the old seasons 1 and 2, which frequently were returned to in reruns. I don’t think the UUE was ever edited for daytime CN.

Anyway, Toonami started to wind down after 2006. It was the orange bricks that solidified the UUE dub as “the dub” to the exclusion of the old first two seasons in the collective consciousness.

Right, I don’t think the decision to completely replace the original first two broadcast seasons came until they decided to release the entire series on season sets. Even the original home video release for the Uncut 67 episodes redub branded them as a special edition rather than “What? No this is how it’s always been!”

I'm sorry, I don't buy that. How would you know about the internal decisions that go on at Funimation?

Maybe not AS but they were aired at 10:30 pm.

I can actually buy that, as something like that DID in fact happen with Invader ZIM, the episode Door to Door had a scene edited because of 9/11 as it was too reminiscent of Ground Zero, but for the first airing on September 14th 2001, the master tape was mistakenly used instead of the edited version, so as a result we got to see the original version of the scene:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WD59bz29Z2c
