On hiatus.

I don't have it in my hometown either. Perhaps it's not ready yet?

Since when has Funimation had its own channel?

I thought Cartoon Network's rights were for quite a long while =P
Oh well. Don't matter to me. Why have the Funimation Channel here in Canada, when the rights belong to YTV? (Who...hasn't aired it in an awfully long while...)

The box sets have been out for a long time. And if they have the channel, why are they a "tard"?

If I had the channel, I'd surely watch it.
Nothing matters (in a cosmic sense.) Have a good time.

Uh WTF are you talking about? Everything on the channel is UNCUT. Mostlikely Dragonball will be too.

Yeah, plus they can play the first 13 episodes of Dragon Ball that they can't release on DVD yet, so it's the only place to see the dub.

Well I think a better and more mature way to word that would have been, "scottdahl's opinions are elitist and small-minded and contribute nothing construtive to this thread whatsoever. So it's best to ignore him."
Jerseymilk: "Can I tell you something?"
B-kun: "What?"
Jerseymilk: "I see Fangirls."

I'm just being blatant, upfront and honest with not as much tact as you'd expect from your own self.

Wow this topic is spinning out of controll... Basically its all about money. FUNimation, like any company wants to "sell" there product. Thats not a bad thing. Companys need to make money to be successfull and being Dragonball is one of there biggest franchises, of course they would bring it to there (not to well known) channel. They need people to subscribe to this channel for it to be successful and Dragonball is a good way of making that channel known. If they had the chance, they would definitly put Dragonball Z up on that mo-fo to.

Got this from ANN
Beginning Monday, Dragon Ball will return to American television on the CoLours TV network. The show will run Monday-Friday at 10 p.m. Eastern. Funimation will also run a six-hour Dragon Ball marathon on Thanksgiving Day on the CoLours network.

In December, Dragon Ball will become part of the Funimation Channel.
