For me, as I mentioned, it was how the filler was done, not the fact that it had filler that was annoying. They extended stuff out way too much. They extended canon arcs out for far too long. The Freiza Saga is still a headache. Five minutes until Namek blows...20 eps later, they're still fighting!! Yes, I did exaggerate that, but that's w hat it felt like.

In regards to which series is the best?...
I liked DB and DBZ. GT was a little "eh..." for me.
For me, it's definitely Dragon Ball. I like Z too. GT, I liked how it started, because it was very Dragon Ball-ish. An adventure to search for the Dragon Balls and meeting new people and beings while searching for it. It became too DBZish for my liking later on.

DB was a little more down-to-earth; a little more fun to watch. Like SSJup said, the storyline revolved around skill and adventure and less around power. Because of this, I feel the characters had more personality.
Yep yep. I prefer skill and adventure to power power power power, ki blast ki blast ki blast. I like DBZ, but that aspect started to bug me after a while, even though I did like the DBZ characters; ironically, I wasn't a big fan of most of the villains for DBZ. I preferred the DB villains. Seemed more "real" to me or something. One person actually told me that I probably liked DB more than DBZ is because I'm female. Like that has anything to do with it, probably. lol

B]DBZ[/b] was more colorful than DB -- both literally and figuratively. It had intense action and good suspense. It was also longer, allowing for more variety, in terms of villains and events.
Too long! >< It may have had variety, but it got annoying that these villains just wouldn't die or kept having other forms, even if the fight scenes were cool. I just wished it didn't take so long to get to the point where Z is concerned.

Main thing I did like for Z, regarding the Freiza saga, was how much hatred and dislike Vegeta had towards Freiza. Wish they could've kept in more background story to show what Vegeta went through as opposed to just a small glimpse. I think the Freiza Saga is when I really became a Vegeta fan.
