Because he's on at 9 o'clock in the morning.
Vegeta vaporizing an old man while he tries to shield a child - OK.
Vegeta saying 'fuck' - not OK.


Alrighty then.
That's how it works, yeah.

The dub had a greater impact on you than the original version ever will, at least in my opinion.
I watched nearly the entire Buu saga in Japanese about a year before Toonami aired them. And I was pretty curious about the Japanese version and liked to take any opportunity to watch it in Japanese because it seemed cool to watch it in another language - its original language
Yamcha: Do you remember the spell to release him - do you know all the words?
Bulma: Of course! I'm not gonna pull a Frieza and screw it up!
Master Roshi: Bulma, I think Frieza failed because he wore too many clothes!

How does that relate to my post above?
The series doesn't start with the arrival of Raditz. Stop being lazy and watch Dragonball.

Uh...you said that the dub had a greater impact on me? I'm trying to say that the Japanese version helped me to continue watching the show because I just liked the fact that it was a foreign show. That's what kept me as a fan. If it was just your regular show, I probably wouldn't have cared much after it was over. But there's just so much of Dragon Ball to explore from different countries, etc. that it kept me hooked as a fan.
