There was some heavy duty editting done to the original Ocean Group-era Dragonball Z. Not only for objectionable material, but for stuff edittors thought was either "boring" or "not funny". The first episode had most of Gohan's scenes in the forest cut, while there were a few episodes that were cut entirely (the one where Gohan meets the robot buried in the cave, for example).
I used to watch the Ocean Group episodes and I still have a soft spot for them, if only for the AWESOME dub job the Ocean Group did. Can't beat Brian Drummond's Vegeta.
The DBZ uncut is good, as they maintain most of the best lines from the Ocean Group dub. The Funimation voices have grown on me by now, though.
As far as Dragonball is concerned, I still like it even though I've outgrown some of it. I prefer the movies, as they omit the one thing I hate most about the TV series, the annoying amounts of filler, and get straight to the point. I own em all on DVD.
