Er, not really.

We got the Saban dub for the first 2 seasons, then we got the FUNi dub up until the late Cell saga (I think around episode 170?), then we got the Ocean VA's back again beyond that, but the music used for those later episodes is recycled from Megaman and such.
Eh, no. The later Buu episodes were dubbed by some company called Westwood Studios. None of the VAs are the ones from Ocean, I'm guessing they are extremely similar. After all, it seemed that the FUNI VAs and these ones were picked to sound similar to the original Ocean ones. Has anyone thought about that connection?
And I honestly thought the music was recycled from the first two dub seasons, by the end of the show it seemed like I'd been listening to the same damn tracks forever. Probably because due to YTV's new listing at the time, instead of getting to see DBZ 5 days a week, I got to see it once a week. Going through the majority of the Buu Saga like that gets kind of annoying
Yeah...and was Dragon Ball done every day from then on? Just need to know..

Westwood studios is the old name for Ocean studios, it's the same company. Some of the VA's were different than the original Ocean cast, but others returned to reprise their roles as they left off.
