Perhaps something like the story of King Vegeta would be interesting... I think it be cool to flesh out the Saiyan backstory. I like the idea of showing Vegeta's life before Z, too.

What about a Ginyu Force spin off? I enjoy the what if they had with them and Zarbon in DB: RB, and seeing a spin off based off of them would be fun to see.

I suppose it would provide an infinite number of opportunities for cheesy music like "Tokusentai" and lots of jokes about afternoon snacks. :lol:

I would love for them to do this. Kinda like a Pokemon Chronicles type deal. Let's see...from the beginning. Some of them would be serious, and some would just be cutesy fan-service type deals.

Old Kaioshin stuff, Bibidi, etc.
The Namekian without a name's backstory, the weather changes on Namek, etc.
Roshi's story
Son Gohan's story
Ox King's Story
Yamcha's Story
Tenshinhan/Chaozu (does Mystical Adventure count?)
What the hell was Chichi doing that whole time?
Some dumb Yajirobe thing
Dr. Gero trying out the artificial humans
adventures of #8
Some young Vegeta stuff
Vegeta/Nappa/Raditz team stuff
More Bardock?
Some Freeza backstory
Coola and learning to control his Ki better than Freeza
more Broli, Bojack, Tapion, Pikkon, and any other movie characters
Turllece pre Tree of Might
Gohan's training (more of Piccolo's perspective)
more Vegeta/Nappa adventures in space
Ginyu Tokusentai origins
more of Goku after Namek/before returning to Earth
inside the Room of Spirit and Time before the Cell Games
Some Mirai Trunks stuff (because I know the fans will want it)
Goku discovering Super Saiyan 3
Generic Goten/Trunks adventures
Goku training Uub
an episode about Pan
Tarble before the Jump special
Chillin' with the Villains in Hell

I'd like to see some What If? stories but I'm not even going to bother listing those...

Add a talking dog and you got yourself a wacky sitcom!
I don't know about the talking dog, but the villains in filler Hell could make for one, er, hell of a sitcom. They could even have Freeza, Cell, Recoome, Zarbon, Zangya, and Princess Snake dancing in front of the blood fountain during the opening music. I can see it now...

So no one told you death was gonna be this way!
Your fight was a joke, you choked, and Goku saved the day!
Now everyone'll think you're second tier,
Well you got blasted away and now you're stuck here!

But, I'll be there for you! Loathing Saiyans to the core,
Hey look, there's Appule! (Get away eyesore)
I'll be there for you! Because we all hate Goku!

Comedy, romance, and more abound. Tune in on sweeps week for the introduction of everyone's favorite zany grouchy old man, Dr.Gero!

(Damn, I've got an overactive imagination)

:) Well, I have a terrible singing voice & I'm technologically retarded, so somebody else would have to do it. Good to know that somebody got some amusement out of the random crap that comes out of my head.

While Raditz and Nappa silently weep in the corner :cry:

Do a cover? Someone should do the show! With flash or whatever, this would make a sweet web series even if it wasn't done by Toei.

I wouldn't mind seeing some of the Nameless Namekian's adventures prior to becoming the previous Kami's apprentice, Goku's journey home from Namek, and some of the shit that Trunks did after killing Cell in his own time.

Oh, and Goku vs Freeza and King Cold as it happened in the original timeline wouldn't be bad either.

A sitcom about Tenshinhan and Yamcha sharing an apartment in West City would be awesome. I can just imagine all the waaaacky adventures they'd have.
