Wherein I ramble about Daria. As someone who was a misfit teen I could relate. But it's not just the older Miss Morgendorffer, but those around her too. The series is an excellent example of a slice of life dramedy, with storytelling that improves as it goes on. Even if Tom Sloane is a rather flat character that is hardly seen outside of his successive relationships with Jane and Daria. But there is another character that is an excellent example of character growth.
Quinn goes from someone who disowns her sister on a regular basis and is obsessed about her own popularity and fashion, to someone who acknowledges Daria as her sister and looks out for others when she sees that they have problems.

I love Daria! Such a good show and really captured the vibe of its time period. I have a set of bootleg DVDs but I'm wondering if there's anywhere to watch it online these days. Now I kind of want a Daria icon...

I've become acquainted with Daria and the rest via your stories, so it's nice to read of the initial attraction. :) Dramedy certainly appeals as a genre! I think of Desperate Housewives when thinking dramedy.

DARIA :D I own the series on DVD and have it on my Paramount+ watchlist. I was super into it as a teenager and every now and then the feelings come back and I just need to rewatch my favorite episodes. Daria is amazing but Quinn ended up being a big favorite because that girl gets some amazing development.

I didn't have the relevant channel at the time that Daria was airing, and from what I saw, I couldn't figure out whether it was supposed to be all snark and no plot, or that everyone just really likes it when Daria's being snarky and there was plenty more there. It does sound like something that's worth watching, though.
