Actually, it was either FOX or WB that had it on weekday mornings until the Ginyu Force showed up. Everything after that was Toonami, but you could see the first saga(s?) of Dragonball and 50~ episodes of DBZ a few years before. It's why the voices change so much during the Recoome fight (though it was probably redubbed).
Oh your right, i remember now DBZ and Sailor Moon being shown on FOX at like 6 am on weekdays. At least in Pittsburgh it was real early in the morning. Not sure how much of a fanbase it built before toonami, and I know they didn't show more than like 2 seasons worth of episodes.
But the point i was trying to make was that you can't keep showing the same shows over and over and expect the programming block to be good. The people in this topic who don't want toonami to ever change and get new shows needs to realize that back in the late 90s to 2002 (when most of us probably feel toonami was at its peak), toonami changed quite a bit, DBZ was really the only show that stayed for a long time. If it came back, showed the same animes over and over, people would lose interest in the block all over again.
If toonami came back it would need to air classics (for nostalgia mostly) and new animes (to keep things exciting). Animes that only have 30 episodes, and long running ones too. In other words, a variety.
