There was some REALLY good filler though. Like the driving episode.
Oh, you think the Grand Tour is your ally, you merely stepped into the Grand Tour. I was born in it, moulded by it. I didn’t see the Super until I was already a man; by then, it was nothing to me but blinding!

I admit, that was filler done right.
If I had to watch any of the filler episodes, it would be that one.

But then there is plothole filler. But all of them are a part of DB/Z and they're good in a way.

Yeah, If you watch them without thinking of the contradictions, they're okay.

The only episodes I can think of that are filler without even MINOR plotholes are the driving episode and the orphan episode.

Then, with the Z-exclusive tunes, I hear the same battle tunes and the same standing around tunes over and over again. It doesn't bother me like it does everyone else, but Z is just as guilty of using the same tunes over and over again as Kai is.
Yeah but at least in Z they mix it up and also get newer tracks after every once in a while. Can't say the same about Kai. I haven't heard a single new music score in Kai since the beginning when Radditz was around.

I can explain some more if wanted.

Actually, in the driving episode, Chi Chi gets both Goku and Piccolo to get their driver's license by bribing them, saying she won't cook them any more food.

Logically, Piccolo wouldn't care because he's a Namekian, and they only need water, they don't eat.
