You say boring another says dramatic tension, say it moves to slow somebody else says great plot development.............. The big fact is that the show has Millions of fanatical fans who worship it, the fact is that the show is huge, that they must be doing something right. My wife hates Star Wars, she wouldn't go see Lord of the Rings at gunpoint, she thinks both are silly and boring. My ex Wife never saw Star Wars, when asked why she said "it looked stupid". I don't like the Sopranos, she can't miss a episode. Yes not everybody is going to like DragonBall it's just part of life, you just really can't call it crap or a bad show and not expect people who like it to jump to it's defense.I don't know how many episodes are in a season in Japan but for my example of the Simpsons 300 episodes is 14+ years. If they did 100 episodes a season then they had 5 seasons, a longer run than 90% of the shows out there, if they did the American average of 24 shows a season then you are takling a 20 year run. Does anybody out there know when the first Dragonball series started? My point was that for the amount of episodes they have that's a huge run for any TV show, I wasn't making a point on it being boring or not, I was making a point that this may be one of the longest lasting shows ever. Most shows that last 10 years are considered classics, not only was DragonBall a big hit in Japan when it was new, it's also been a huge hit for Cartoon Network in America.</blockquote>
