that really didn't happen. In fact, the comic was almost totally complete by the time DBZ premiered, if not totally done.
Kak is pretty right on this. But most of DBZ is filler from the studio. If you have the money pick up the manga, all of it. Well worth it, instead of 20 episodes of talking about fighting.. It actually gets done
Look at it another way. If a movie like Lord of the Rings which is about 2-3 hours long and costs millions to make has a huge list of mistakes and continuity errors then i think it is quite acceptable for an anime series with several hundred episodes to have them.
If you imagine the time-scale and the sheer scale of making a series of this magnitude then it is no surprise there are many goofs which slip in.
If you enjoy the series / movie etc i am sure you can overlook small errors which do not seriously mar your overall enjoyment.
