For those of you who didn't watch the show, it was the animated adventures of Daria Morgendorffer, a cynical sarcastic high school student, as she dealt with the idiocy that surrounded her with deadpan dry wit.
I mean, I thought that Daria was going to be gone forever after it ended it run and the various networks who were showing the reruns moved on to other programming, so this news really lifted my spirits this week.
Much like WKRP in Cincinnati, Daria had a lot of music as part of its episodic soundtrack (which makes sense since it was a series on MTV), so it seemed like that would be the major stumbling block.
Of course, after this announcement, I decided to take a look back at the series to see if it still held the same appeal for me, and I am sad to report that somewhere along the line I guess I moved beyond it.
I can still see the entertainment value in it, but I don't think I would have been as rabid a fan of it if I was seeing it for the first time.
Yes, I think I will still enjoy it, when I get it, but I think it will be more as an exercise in nostalgia than anything else.
