It still amuses me that this exchange was changed in the broadcast version.

Kuririn: Maybe a mountain lion drug her into a cave.
Gohan: I wouldn't want to be the mountain lion.

In the edited version, you only hear Gohan's reply. It's so bizarre.
The biggest truths aren't original. The truth is ketchup. It's Jim Belushi. Its job isn't to blow our minds. It's to be within reach.

However, if one goes to this site and reference episode 63 and onward (since that's the episode when the in-house dub began), you'll see a reasonably decent analysis of what was cut and changed between the two versions.

As an example, in episode 64...

In this case, Bahta says "Bite me!" in the uncut video, and "Turkey!" on the CN airing.
Oh man....I'm so, so, so glad things have improved as much as they have since the Dark Ages of the early days.
Have they now? Wonder how they will be handling the latest episodes of One Piece with all the violent deaths including child deaths, mass slaughter, dismemberment, oodles of blood, etc. Should be fun to see...and to think that show runs in a 9:30 am time slot Sundays...

It may air at 9:30 AM on Sundays in Japan, but it's a late-night show on Toonami in the U.S., where it is aired uncut, just like the DVDs. I suspect FUNimation will handle it the way they typically handle their dubbed version of One Piece...or, really, for that matter, how they handle most of their dubs nowadays: unedited, faithfully-adapted scripts (minus a small hiccup here and there), and with great acting.
A "rather haggard" translation of a line from Future Gohan in DBZ, provided to FUNimation by Toei:
"To think of fighting that is this fun...so, it was pleasant fight, as many as, therefore is a feeling which is good the fight where."
