93-96 - Japanese Run
96-2005 - U.S. Run

After that I basically just watched a few eps here and there on VHS and DVD and occasionally catch it on TV.

So to answer the question, twice..

Ignoring the ye olden Toonami watchings, I'm currently watching Dragon Ball on DVD for the second time...heck, the second time this year! O.o I've also see most of the movies several times. I've watched Dragon Ball GT once or twice, too. For Dragon Ball Z I've seen a lot of episodes multiple times, but once I get my Dragon Box Z Volume Seven I'll have seen the whole series completely once.

The only movies I haven't seen are Super-Warrior Defeat!! I'm the One who'll Win and The Path to Ultimate Strength. I also haven't seen A Lonesome, Final Battle: The Father of Z-Warrior Kakarrot, who Challenged Freeza in Japanese. :(

I seen both series at latest three times. I remember buying the uncut VHS tapes of the episodes before they where on TV and saw GT before came out in the US thanks for a friend and his bootleg collection at the time in 2002. I did still watch them on Toonami because it was always fun watching them with my friend at the time.

I've seen/read:
Manga: 2 times
DB: 2 times(FUNi dub, Japanese)
DBZ: 3 times (Greek dub, FUNi dub, Japanese)
DBGT: 3 times(2 with FUNi dub, 1 Japanese)
DBKai: 2 times (both Japanese)
I've also watched all 17 movies(in both FUNi dub and Japanese), 3 TV Specials(in both FUNi dub and Japanese), the JSAT Special & the manga adaptation, the 2-part OVA and the remake, I've read all of SD so far, Episode of Bardock, Cross Epoch, the 3 side stories, the Public Safety Specials, footage of the Summer Vacation Special & Year-End Special from Kanzentai, a lot of DBO footage, a lot of Databook informations, and I believe most of the What-Ifs stories, characters and animated intros from video games. So, I think I have seen almost everything! :P
EDIT: I forgot to mention Neko Majin Z.
James Teal (Animerica 1996) wrote:When you think about it, there are a number of similarities between the Chinese-inspired Son Goku and that most American of superhero icons, Superman. Both are aliens sent to Earth shortly after birth to escape the destruction of their homeworlds; both possess super-strength, flight, super-speed, heightened senses and the ability to cast energy blasts. But the crucial difference between them lies not only in how they view the world, but in how the world views them.

Superman is, and always has been, a symbol for truth, justice, and upstanding moral fortitude–a role model and leader as much as a fighter. The more down-to-earth Goku has no illusions about being responsible for maintaining social order, or for setting some kind of moral example for the entire world. Goku is simply a martial artist who’s devoted his life toward perfecting his fighting skills and other abilities. Though never shy about risking his life to save either one person or the entire world, he just doesn’t believe that the balance of the world rests in any way on his shoulders, and he has no need to shape any part of it in his image. Goku is an idealist, and believes that there is some good in everyone, but he is unconcerned with the big picture of the world…unless it has to do with some kind of fight. Politics, society, law and order don’t have much bearing on his life, but he’s a man who knows right from wrong.
