I need to watch more of it, but it really does seem as if the original Dragonball show was a nice story, somewhat of a spin on the Journey to the West, about a kid growing up and trying to find his way in the world, with a bunch of wacky adventures along the way. In DBZ, they seem to have decided to make Goku Superman, or worse, because Superman doesn't just keep finding new power levels to become more godlike. And the show becomes one massive world-ending threat after another. Plus just tons and TONS of filler, plotlines that are dragged out way too far, many of the fun and interesting characters from the original show being shoved into the background, etc.

DBZ is a decent, classic show to many people. I just think comparing it to the original show, it really kinda flew off the rails.
