DBZ ON THE I-CHANNEL/NA DBZ A REPEAT! HMMM!

[Russell Joyner]

I just checked out this URL address:

http://www.i-channel.com/program/dbz.html

So it looks like the question to my previous post has been answered.
Dragon Ball Z *IS* in fact airing on the International Channel every
Sunday night at 9pm Eastern/6pm Pacific. They said that it's airing
without "overdubs." Does anyone know if that means that they're showing
it in straight Japanese or in English Subtitles? I checked their program
schedule, but they haven't updated from February 1997 to March 1997 yet.

Also. Does anyone else find it kinda strange that when the NA dub of DBZ
is supposed to be a new episode, it turned out to be a repeat? It airs here
in Philly on Sundays at 9:30am, and yesterday's episode was supposed to be
when Gokou finally arrives back on Earth. (that was the preview they gave
the week before) It wasn't supposed to be a repeat episode from earlier in
the series. Is the run of the NA dub of DBZ over because of the I-Channel's
airing of DBZ or what? Anyone know?

Based on other posting here, it seems they are showing it in Japanese
only. No dubs, no subs.

The NA dub of DBZ is running similarly to other syndicated shows; it
will air a mix of "new" episodes and reruns. It just so happens that
they've gone back to reruns this week, so we will probably see another 3
to 4 weeks more of reruns before any "new" episodes are aired.

No, the NA DBZ is running by it's schedule (it was supposed to repeat), and
the new episodes start airing again on the weekend of April 13th. I-Channel
is airing it untranslated. It is kinda strange that the I-channel happeed to
begin airing DBZ untranslated right when NA DBZ began airing repeats, but
hey , maybe it's cuz they want to grab ratings. Oh well
