Daria

Daria is a nerd you'll want to follow. Great visuals and well played character Daria!

I didn't grow up with Beavis and Butt-head, but I did grow up with this show. Believe it or not, I was about 5 the first time I watched this show. My sister showed us it on MTV at like 3 AM in the morning while my (little) sister wanted to watch stuff like Dora...?! I remember us calling her "Diarrhea" but we really liked the show and I still do. It was a really funny and good show. And certainly better animated than B&B. I think the reason my sister watched this when she was in High School was because she could relate to her. Sort of. She certainly acted like her. Now, she's not fat anymore, she's healthy and living in another state. This show will bring me memories of her and my childhood. Even though I was REALLY young.

Daria and the whole town of Lawndale has entertained me greatly throughout the years, but none more so than when I was a teen in the 1990's. Picture this is you can... most people my age at the time were either into Beavis and Butthead, or Gangster Rap, so you can see where having niche for nerdy/smart girls would do wonders for M.T.V., and for said girls themselves.

Daria is a typical brain with a healthy amount of cynicism. her best friend Jane is a gifted artist with a really hot brother (he was probably my first, last, and only cartoon heart throb). Quinn Daria's sister is very popular and let's just say nowhere as bright asDaria. The Morgendorffers, Daria and Quinn's parents are typical 90's succeeding parents, a little blind to what is going on at home, but love their kids and what to do right by them none the less.

You will also meet an array of characters from the High School. The cheer leader, the jock, the goth, and the fashion club. All them are sure to take you back to yourown High School days, and probably remind you of someone you knew, if not yourself.

This is an exxcellant series. I enjoy watching it still today, however thank the heavens it was there for me as a teen!

I got the series on DVD and I just love it. Every episode cracks me up. Daira with her Sarcasem and dry wit. Jane with her her point of view on art and the world. We also have The Fashion club consisting of Daria's sister Quinn and her Friends Sandie, Tiffany and Stacie. Quinn is shallow but underneath is a girl with a kind heart. Tiffany is so funny with her slow valley girl accent and her shallowness. Sandie even though she's a witch you got to like her. And Stacie the timid mouse who just wants to fit in. This show is as Quinn would put it Retro.

Daria is the classic snarky dissatisfied youth, but one that is actually funny and amusing rather than depressing. Daria is from when MTV was still doing unique programing. Definitely one of the funnest show to be on television and a true comedy classic. Daria is so good because it rings so true. This show was a guiding arrow in my teenage life and I miss it! I think modern teens could do with more smart quick-witted girls in their life. Hopefully the shows will come out on DVD so that another generation can enjoy the comic genius and teen angst that makes up Daria.

I absolutely loved this show and still do. I miss it so. I wish MTV would bring it back but MTV are stupid and won't. I also wish they bring the whole series and its movies too but again MTV is too dumb to do so. I would def. buy the show on DVD. This show was ahead of its time and relevant or however thats spelt. Every Character was awesome esp. Daria and her Jane I think her name was. Why are all the good shows the ones to be cancelled or never given a chance. I love DARIA Show! Daria ROCKS!

Why? That is the main question that pops in to my head when I think of Daria. Not "Why did they create this show, much less actually air it?" but of "Why did they stop airing it?"

A lot of people watched Daria and a lot of people liked it. For those of us that were dealing with some of the same issues during high school, or even those that weren't, everyone could relate to this witty and sarcastic show. So, when are they going to bring it back? There are all these reality tv shows that are just kinda lame, and then there are adult cartoons like Family Guy... well, I'm sure Daria would fit in real nice with that as well. So come on, bring it back, make a movie, after all, if the Simpsons can, so could Daria. But I would bring it back on Local TV stations. A lot more people would watch if on local.

Daria is not your typical teenager. I would consider her a late bloomer, which I can identify with myself. Daria and her sister were complete opposites, but as the series progressed they learned how to become friends. Daria's Dad was always aloof and her Mother was always trying to make her better. The Mother and the Sister were more alike than anything. What made this animated series personal was the dialogue she would have with her family. It was something I could really relate to and felt within my own life. Then Daria becomes friends with a boy and just as things were getting good with this guy they cut the serious off. It was extremely disappointing because I thought there was so much there. I recall they made a Daria movie to catch us up, but that wasn't the same.

I remember as a elementary student often wondering what high school would turn out to be. If I had watched Daria back then, I would have been a little better prepared. The show Daria and Daria herself is often funny, well spoken, and hits home almost too well. In the late 90's when the show first started, I remember catching a few episodes and laughing but not really getting everything. I had remembered it fondly but rarely looked back on it. Just recently I caught all the episodes on Youtube. During and after I was finished with all of them, my mind sprung up the question, "Where was this show when I was in high school?" Ironically the show had eneded its run right when I started high school and I can only say I missed out on something great. Daria with her sarcastic tone and dry wit only voice what most teenagers are feeling in high school but too afarid to speak it. If I had seen Daria before high school, there's a good chance I might have gotten the guts to speak my mind every once in awhile.

Daria Morgendorffer is a teenage girl (16 at the shows beginning, 18 in the second telemovie) who attends Lawndale High school. She is antisocial from a young age (this is partly explained in the last non movie episode where she relives her childhood in a cardboard box) and declines from social activities, group meetings or other social contact when possible, often using other peoples stupidity as an excuse, although it seems to go further than that. She is part of a wealthy family who own a double storey house and her mother is a successful businesswoman whilst her father is on the verge of insanity and seems broken down somewhat either from failure or bad luck. Her sister is materalistic and overly social and cares more for clothes than intelligence. Daria has the ability to be social, she seems to decline from it for some reason either to further her career goals or from a contempt of others. She is quite good looking but puts off others by wearing simple clothes (boots, black skirt, green jacket, orange/brown shirt). She however is not immune to socal feelings and has one close friend, Jane Lane, an aspiring artist, sister to Trent, an aspiring musician who has a band called Mystic Spiral. Trent is rather odd and seems to be relaxed to the point that he is only vaguely aware of things. Jane and Daria's strong bond is tested when Daria kisses Janes boyfriend Tom Sloane (a seemingly trivial incident but after all this is highschool and they take things seriously) Daria and Tom have an uneasy relationship and decide to break up during the final telemovie. A funny and entertaining show, much of the humour is considered 'highbrow' or 'intelligent' but i found it quite amusing. There are numerous references to culture, although much of the humour is verbal.

Daria a.k.a. "The Most popular loner ever" has to be one of the best shows MTV has ever did. You cant help the fact that Daria grows on you, with her sarcasm and dry humor. Plus the fact that she rarely smiles. Everyone who is in highschool or Graduated or Dropped out see's themself in a least one character in the show. Daria's Homelife is Screwed up her mom always working, her dad being a complete Idiot and her sister a stuck up whore with a conscience. Daria's highschool,Lawndale High, is your typical movie highschool with dumbass jocks and cheerleaders, Nerds, preps, "mean girls"(which her sister is apart of), loners, and even token black people. Basically if your smart, hate dumbass people and dont take others BS, then Daria is the show for you.

The show depicts the characters through her dark point – of – view and thus most of them are all stereotypes and are seen as dislikeable and annoying people. Very amazingly she has a friend named Jane, an artist who shares most of Daria's pessimistic outlooks but is a lot less abrasive than her friend. Although the premise is relatively bleak Daria surprisingly delivers many satisfactory one-liners that are funny enough for the show not to be completely depressing yet they don't affect the show's environment. Very few of the episodes actually have plots but merely narrate on Daria's bleak day – to – day life, it isn't until Tom (essentially a male version of Daria) is introduced and is dating Jane does an engaging story arc form. Although the main character is a girl and many of the episodes and themes are directed at girls; Daria represents the alienaion and sarcasm which resides in any girl or boy and would be enjoyed by anyone. The show visually is relative to its interconnected shows Beavis and Butthead and King of the Hill as it is extremely basic and down – to – earth which is a nice change to the world of paranormal cartoon that is on offer these days. As very few of the jokes are visual the show relies on dry wit to make it funny and it is very effective. This offbeat show strangely works very well by pressing all the entertaining and intriguing buttons however since the new depressed teenager trend people may find Daria a clichéd character but the show would still leave any fan satisfied reliably.

I was terribly sad when Daria ended. I watched this show way before I entered high school and I still enjoyed it. She had such a quick wit that was always a laugh to hear. I could relate to her feelings of being surrounded by superficial people and their idiotic comments. She should be looked at as a role model for many teens. She wasn't unbelievable either. She had a crush on her best friend's lowlife of a brother, Trent. She had her own human flaws and she learned from her mistakes in many of the episodes. She came off as being sarcastic and full of dry wit most of the time, but she was the awkward teen that we could all relate to. There hasn't been an actual witty teenage show like this one since.

Daria is a really cool show,

I started watching when i was really little,

So i really didnt understand most of it,

but as i got older i really followed the plots.



I found it to be an ahhmazing show.

and i really think they should bring it back

It is funny and dramatic...

but mostly funny, and the characters are a real treat.

I think you should really watch this show,

too bad they dont have any DVD sets, they should really get some, They do have a DVD movie though "is it college yet?" and "is it fall yet?" are both available on DVD for anyone who would like to start watching the show.

I had seen Daria for the first time when I was 7 or 6 or something, just because my sister was watching it. But at that time I didn't understood a thing (I think it's pretty logic why). And now, here I am, rewatching it, and it's making much more sense (thank god), and I am currently considering one of the best animated shows from that time. I just love it. All the mocking.. the true but yet, ironically and comic presented situations of an average high school day. And Daria is great! Who whouldn't love her? Who wouldn't love her intelligent sarcasm and unexpressive voice or face? I just can't get enough!

Lawndale is the greatest place on earth. While the Simpson's was still getting used to their place in the world, the Morgendorfers and the Lanes and everybody else fulfilling very hilarious dark roles. In a time where our parents were still trying desperately to make us football jock and cheerleader types, Daria came along and showed us all that you could be painfully cool and funny even if you were smarter than everyone else you were around. Daria truely was an inspiration to people who were looking at life through a different lens. Even the progress of the show was perfect, 5 great seasons going through 4 years of high school and the last was the tv movie about going to college. So perfect. I only wish that we could resurrect Daria for a stint in College...

This will sound weird but Daria reminds me of the Carthagian gernal Hannibal. Under vauled, under resouced but brillant. She can make you burst into laughter in every episode which is quite a feat for 5 straght years. It seems strange but this show really was the cartoon that should have replaced the simspons. All the other toon based shows since have been simpsons in sheeps clothing, making the same jokes but taking them 1 step further. i.e futurerama, family guy. but Daria did the immposibly by finding a differant type of hummor. It made people think and pay attention or they would miss the wit. It seems that this may have also been its flaw. In a fast paced world were a person with cable can watch 80+ channels, if you don't like the 1st 3 seconds of a show you change the channel,a show which needs an entire show to become hooked for life will be lost on so many souls. Daria following will only grow as it begins to reach more and more people. People who will be looking for some thing new and freash will ultiamtly find Daria

if i could think of one show that everyone should watch is this one.. it is the best show i have ever seen. i don't know why they got rid of it. i could watch this show all day everyday.. i don't get bored with it.. it is so funny and has the best lines ever.. she is awesome.. i like how she makes her life interesting.. she is the funniest charcter ever seen on tv. i could see her being a good friend of mine. her friend is awesome too.. she is so funny.. she makes me laugh all the time..

It sucks that The-N took Daria off the air, I don't understand why, that show had good ratings. But before it got taken off I didn't watch it that much because it came on at like 3 in the morning. Well it's been over a year since The-N took it off so I don't guess it's not going to put it back on. It would be so awesome if Adult Swim would air Daria I mean come on if they'll air a show like Pee Wee's play house surely they would air a show like Daria, Daris is the most perfect show for Adult Swim and whats stupid is Degrassi is a boring drama show and there still making new episodes of it, at least Daria was funny, well if there not going to air Daria the least they could so is release it on DVD.

Daria is my second favourite cartoon ever. If there was a DVD (which I wish there was) I'd be the first to get it. The whole dynamic of the show is a classic. An alienated, sarcastic school girl trying to balance a dysfunctional family and an even weirder school filled with teachers with bulging eye, the Fashion Club and her best friend who expresses her anger through her bizzarely abstract art. I think the reason many people love the show is the fact that there is one character you can easily relate to. For me, it's Daria. But that's just me. In my opinion, Daria is unforgettable and, unlike cheezy teen sitcoms, this is truly a show that will get you through high school.

It is so black, so dismal, so mischievous ... It's really one of my most favourite series ever, though I don't like animation.

This one is so simply that it have touched my heart, brain and misted my glasses. Great way to relax. Gosh, I have never thought I would like such an intelectual series as this one is, but after I saw two episodes I knew it was definetely the kind of humour I have been searching for. Haha, I actually realized Daria was the only one reason for me to change a channel during I was watching some movie, that was the way how I found out that MTV exists. 100% reason why to stay up late to watch it!

Daria is by far one of the best show spin offs EVER. Even as a 40 something male, I could relate to this 15 yo girl, who npbody understands and is sometimes to smart for her own good.



Besides this enchanting main character, Daria is surrounded by a few good (albiet odd) friends, her self involved yet supportive family, and the staff and student body of Lawndale High who just don't get her.



I know a lot of people think this show died before it should have. I think they did the right thing stopping the show right before Daria left for college. (Anyone remember what happened to the Facts of Life when those girls graduated. P U) A hats of to the producers fo rdoing a Sienfeld and going out on top.

Hahaha wow I remember this show! This was definitely one of my favorite MTV shows from back in the day and it's a shame they don't show it anymore because I'd love to watch it again. I especially loved the characters Daria and Jane haha. Jane reminded me of me and Daria reminded me of my best friend which was perfect since they were best friends on the show. I loved the sarcasm and humor. The show was definitely a hit at the time and it was really an enjoyable show. It was one of those shows you stayed up late to watch. Man how I miss it.

omg daria my best friend!!! thats me!!! daria was greaat cuz it related to so many ppl!! daria great scarums (however you spell it) and very funny. they really need to bring it back i think it would a great hit now days!!! it was back then!!! but seriously if they bring it back ill never miss a show and many people i know wont either. the only thing i can say thats me!!! thats my life right there!!! lol

Unique....Funny....These are all words that can describe this show.I love the characters and their individuality.I'll just say that I feel this way because I can relate to Daria.Her family doesn't understand her,her parents are crazy,and her sister is kind of stuck up and self centered. Daria has a great sense of humor and her adventures inspire me...Literaly! This has to be one of the best shows in t.v. history,and it is no longer aired. They need to bring this show back for the sake of human kind. What will we do without the quirky adventures of Daria Morgandorfer in the hectic town of Lawndale?

A show like Daria is a rareity. Although the show introducted characters that were exagerrated stereotypes, it always sent a special message to teens who were confused by the whole high school scene. Growing up, I was a lot like Daria in many ways, so the show always spoke the purest message to me. The show accurately portrayed the high school experience as truth behind the lies of those years being the "best time of your life." From moving to a new town to getting your first and most embarassing job to dealing with a family who doesn't understand you, Daria explored almost every topic that is plagued by modern teens - in a way that is very comedic and not too preachy. Daria is a guaranteed hit whether you're the QB, the ditzy cheerleader, the creative artist, or the anti-social brain.

I love this show i got the dvd movies is it fall yet and soon getting is it college yet but i mean this show make me laugh i sometimes see it on dvd.I just so sad that the show don't got box sets by MTV they should release one like another show.Alot of fans will be so happy to buy it.So please MTV please bring Daria to dvd box sets its just a Super Good Show.And put it on the Air atleast on MTV2 reruns.

This is a great show I've loved it ever since it started ! its a real shame that they never released it on DVD (other than the movies (which are great)) I hope they do release them on DVD I'd buy them in a second... well anyway...



The Voice acting: Superb, Daria has that great mono tone voice which fits her character perfectly. Even though Daria's voice is great EVERYONE one the shows voice is great it has such good voice acting!



Illustrations: They are superb, colourful, even though they look slightly weird when there is no movement.



Script: Hilarious, very witty and sarcastic.



Great show you should watch it!

I used to watch this show EVERY day that it was on! I felt like I was a lot like Daria in her lack of motivation and sarcastic view on everything. The sterotypical high school players are all involved from the jock who's dating the cheerleader, to the rebel artist Jane who's right there on Daria's level. Daria's monotone voice makes it even better because it shows how little she really cares. I wish this show was back on the air, I think it was great! The story of Daria lives on on a distant channel on satellite or digital cable now. Bring her back to MTV!

Daria was a terrific show, nothing reflects better the spirit of the 90's, the use of the sarcasm, how different people can survive a world of superficiality and plastic people. Daria's character was great, such as all of the people that surrounded her. She was a good girl that was not happy with the life regular people lives, and her humor was something that jerk people would never understand.

It was a shame that this show ended, and I don't think there would be another animated series that attacks society like Daria did, the new shows doesn't have the class Daria had... too bad... too bad...
