In 2023, as part of WebVideo/TotallyNotMark's review/retrospective series on ''Dragon Ball'', TFS would collaborate with Mark on the video covering the Buu Saga, producing DBZA-style scenes which they called "Buu Bits" interspersed throughout the review. While not a full fourth season, Team Four Star announced that these "Buu Bits" are as close as they're ever going to get to doing one.

The series is also notable for its voice acting, which audiences compared favorably to the official dub. Notably, Creator/ChrisAyres praised Creator/LittleKuriboh's performance as Freeza, and several members of Team Four Star were hired to do voice work in the ''VideoGame/DragonBallXenoverse'' series.

The videos themselves are titled DragonBall Z rather than each word being separate (with the exception of the later KAI Abridged videos).

Compared to most of its counterparts, ''DBZA'' is notable for having very character-driven, CallBack heavy humor, making a genuine effort at faithfully adapting ''Dragon Ball Z'''s plot, and containing almost no [[BreakingTheFourthWall fourth-wall breaking]] (well, [[EarlyInstallmentWeirdness after the first season, anyway]]). That said, it does still have plenty of LampshadeHanging and in-jokes relating to the franchise as a whole, and some of the jokes in question are obscure enough that they would probably go over the heads of even the most die-hard ''Franchise/DragonBall'' fans. Essentially, ''Dragon Ball Z Abridged'' is what would happen if you put ''Dragon Ball Z'' and ''WesternAnimation/{{Archer}}'' in a [[JustForFun/XMeetsY blender]].

The series lasted three seasons, each one covering the Saiyan Saga, the Namek/Freeza Saga, and the Android/Cell Saga, respectively, along with several specials, a majority of the movies, and a sub-series based around ''Anime/DragonBallZKai'' that served as a way of comically recapping each season. Initially, Team Four Star stated they intended to continue with a fourth season that would cover the Buu Saga, the final arc of ''Dragon Ball Z'', and included a [[TheStinger stinger]] promising such at the end of the third season's finale in 2018.
