As with a bunch of people, what I hate about DragonballZ is that it goes on so long (never saw much of Dragonball, so I can't comment on it). The characters don't seem to often get anywhere in their battles. The battles take way too long. I mean, like, one whole episode was just Goku trying to power up some super-strong attack or whatnot. A whole episode! So, like I said, it's a case of a series being stretched out. I don't know WHY they did that instead of having the characters actually seem to make progress in the episodes...
Reminds me of a joke I heard once: Q: How many DragonballZ characters does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
A: Just one, but it'll take three episodes.

Ho-ho, time for inedible PARRON to step in to defend her fandom! (*)
1. We've been agreeing that DBZ filler does take to long. Solution? Read the manga. The fights HAD to be drawn out because TOEI -- the studio animating Dragonball -- needed to buy time for Toriyama to finish the fight in the manga. 2. Lots of things happen. For one, counting all three shows, the story spans nearly fifty years! We see Goku age 12 in Dragonball, and then his grand-daughter - Pan - age 14 in Dragonball GT! There's lots of character growth and movement between the fighting (and even in the fighting... like for example Vegeta at the Cell Games), and it's certainly not for the FIGHTING that I watch this show. 3. I like the joke, though. ^^
(yes, i am aware 'incredible' was the word to use up there)
