Daria Morgendorffer

Daria's first incarnation was as an occasional character in Beavis and Butthead, where she formed a female, intelligent foil to the two dunderheads. In her eponymous series, Daria became more angsty; to some, she's the poster child for 'teen misfit.' Voiced by Tracy Grandstaff, Daria is a bespectacled, plain, highly intelligent, unfashionably dressed, and seemingly cynical teenage girl who is portrayed as an icon of sanity in an insane household, with her vacuous, fashion-obsessed sister Quinn and career-obsessed parents Helen and Jake. While much of the show is a vehicle for Daria's droll deadpan monotone one-liners, a recurring plot element in early seasons is Daria standing up to misused authority, leading some fans to conclude that her apparent cynicism is only skin deep.

Airing information

Daria first aired on MTV in the USA, and is now showing there as reruns on The N, the young teens timeblock on children's educational network Noggin. These reruns have been criticised by American Daria fans for being edited for content, occasionally rendering remaining portions of the show almost unintelligible, or wiping out subplots and subtext. 

The rights to show Daria have been bought by a number of broadcasters outside the USA: Daria International lists airing information for more than 25 countries.


Tapes and DVDs

A number of VHS tapes have been issued, mostly in PAL format. Two DVDs are available, ostensibly coded for Region One (North America) but found by fans to be region-free. More information on this page. Fans are campaigning for a DVD release of every episode, uncut, and by September 2004 1,443 fans had voted for Daria at TV Shows on DVD, bringing it to 33rd place in the list of most-wanted unreleased DVDs. As of July 2004 fan Michelle Klein-Hass posted to alt.tv.daria stating that she had word from Glenn Eichler that MTV was currently investigating thier options for a DVD release of more Daria episodes. In Glenn's own words (according to Klein-Hass): "So there's no distributor and no release date but what there is is very strong interest from MTV in putting Daria out, and steady activity toward making that a reality.  Does that make sense?"


Fan community

Perhaps unsurprisingly for a show whose heroine shuns crowds, most of the interaction among fans tends to take place online. Discussions take place in Usenet group alt.tv.daria and in fansite message boards (listed below). A Daria chat room accessed from MTV's Daria homepage attracts mostly young fans, while those who do not enjoy the atmosphere of the MTV chat room gather for desultory conversation at [irc://cookie.sorcery.net/Daria+ #Daria+].

Fan conventions are small, and run on a not-for-profit basis by fans who often host them in their own homes. All the Dariacons listed at Dariacon Central have been gatherings of adults, and organisers have made no effort to attract younger fans; indeed, they've discouraged or prohibited the attendance of children.
