I don't know, probally. I'm sure that their are, among the thousands of other letters sent to them, but I don't work at CN, and I doubt anyone else here does, so your guess is as good as mine I suppose. But in the case with airing anime that isn't even completely available in america, it's mainly the companies who decide whan certain titles can be aired, with DBZ in mind, the entire series is in america, both DBZ, and DBGT are in america and have been dubbed, it's just that the licensing hasn't been completely finnished up from studios like BAndai, pioneer, manga, ADV, Clamp, and the other many which are responsible for getting cartoons from Japan to America. CN has no say in it. And it also takes a very long time for a channel to edit animes such as DBZ. When they are forced to word over diolauge because of inappropriate language, or computer out the blood and nudity. These are long and tedius presidures, and it's one of the problems CN faces when they are putting up new anime.
And then, with the other companies, it's often simply an issue of money, when they can hold out on a series and make as much money as possible with it when it's released. Cartoon Network is probally holding DBZ under their asses for so long because, like said before, it's one of the most popular animes in america, and fans will always be watching Toonami, simply for DBZ alone. So if they drag it on as much as possible, then they will contiue to have those viewers for that long length of time as well. By spring, when the last of DBZ is aired, it'll probally have one of the highest cable ratings for that time slot than nearly any other. An then after they butcher it, and have the reruns of those same 15 f*cking episodes for the entire damn summer, they will release Dragonball GT, and use that as the Toonami money milker for the next several years.
So, you must understand, that the f*ckers at CN are greedy bastards and are just after the ratings and the moeny, and they have no problem with holding DBGT for as long as the want.
And witht he way things are going, I'm sure that nearly ever one of the ten Gundams will have had some time of airing On Toonami, and then the 11th series, Gundam SEED will finally be aired. YAY! And with the new channels also becomming more interested in anime, CN will probally be airing whatever they can to keep their die hard otaku's watching their shows. But with FOX BOX, Fox Family, WGN, TechTV, Encore Action Channel, and the upcomming Anime Channel, sponcered by ADV, I'm certain that time slotts like The Adult Swim, Midnight Run, and Toonami will be getting more competitive and find more compelling animes to show the fans.
But like with what i just said, if you don't like they was cartoon network is dealing with the anime choises of theirs, you will soon be able to appreachiate the many other channels with planty of other great anime titles.
