Daria (1997-2001) Season 1

Ah yes, how did i miss this show during its first run? Well for starters i live in Australia and the TV was never tuned to MTV anyway (it was normally on WWE, The Disney Channel or some lifestyle station that only mums are interested in). Plus i was five when it ended and my mum would not have let me get brainwashed by MTV at such an impressionable age anyway.
I had seen it via reruns on ABC once or twice, i remember enjoying it but being about 9-10 i didn't quite 'get' it.

Now i do. Because i am currently in my teenage years and even though this show revolves more around those 90s teenagers who listen to some question music (i've never been that into grunge/alt rock) it remains relatable and very 'now.' By the time i was half way through the first season i began to like all the characters and was starting to notice their similarity to people in my own life. Shows don't usually have this effect on me.  Cool.

Just because it's animated doesn't mean it's a for children though, they wont understand it as fully as those older who are living it or have lived it.
Now for the characters:
Daria Morgandorffer: Tracy Grandstaff (perfect voice acting and a great character)
Jane Lane : Wendy Hoopes (same as above)
And i cant be bothered adding anymore names, those are the two main characters anyway. Daria also has a younger sister, Quinn (also voiced by Wendy Hoopes), a complete opposite in every single way, she is shallow dim-witted and shallow (i'm trying highlight that she's shallow).

It is really a wonderful show, i very much enjoyed watching it and in my humble opinion it has excellent replay value. Daria is a witty well thought out show that routinley pokes fun at the shallow consumerism hat MTV  feeds off of. It's sort of funny when i think of it like that, i think that's what the creators of the show were aiming for.
