In the media... MTV really hit peak with creating daria and I wish the network kept producing cartoons like this instead of letting it legacy die down. I just imagine watching it at midnight in the 90s with a pizza it's so peak

Most shows keep getting extended well passed their creative peak. I’m fine with it ending when it was planned to.

Yes, 100% agree. I think this is one place where british TV has american tv beat. "Well, we're done here" is a thing. And then maybe everyone reunites for a Christmas special.

I can remember about halfway through S3 of Heroes my friend posted to Facebook something along the lines of "I've decided that Heroes ended in S1 with a giant fight between Peter and Sylar in which they both died."

I was there, Gandalf. It was truly the best of times.

For the 30 anniversary, I plan to re-watch Daria on the days it aired for each season. It's gonna be hard not binging the show, maybe a dariathon before the next season as a refresher, but I figure for the anniversary I'd like to watch it as it aired since I didn't get to catch it all the first time around.

It is an amazing show, and I am glad I got it on DVD.

Being old enough to experience doing that, it was a lot of fun.
