The second season of Pokemon (The orange isles one) was never broadcasted in Finland, they skipped it completely.
DBZ was lame. But I only got to see it when I was 13 or so. I just couldn't be interested in fights taking three weeks. I used to walk by my bros room and notice: "Oh, they're still at it, how long has it been, a month?" "23 episodes, that's his fourth form." "Oh, okay"
I watched Magic Knight Rayearth at that time, kicked DBZ's ass anytime!
