Line 7:
The character of [[Daria Morgendorffer]] got her start on the MTV show ''Beavis and Butt-head''. Her first appearance was on March 19, 1993, in the episode “Sign Here.” In what was a sign of things to come, her first spoken line was “Anal electrocution. Fifty-thousand volts up the butt,” referring to how furriers kill the animals they need. The point of her character was to serve as a foil for Beavis and Butt-head, and as one of the few people who could stand the duo.
''Daria'' was not created by B&B creator Mike Judge, but rather [[Glenn Eichler]], who was a story editor for B&B. As the show wound down, Eichler was approached by MTV about giving Daria her own series, with him serving as executive producer. Eichler agreed, and took fellow B&B staffer Susie Lewis with him to serve as co-executive producer.
The TV show ''Daria'' premiered on March 3, 1997 with the episode “Esteemsters". The new show was given a new setting, the mythical suburban town of [[Lawndale]], as well as new characters, such as the rest of Daria’s family, Daria’s new best friend, [[Jane Lane]], and the faculty and students of [[Lawndale High]].
Line 13:
A total of 65 episodes of Daria were produced and aired on MTV, as well as two movies. The episodes were divided into 5 seasons of 13 episodes each. Save for the first season, which aired from March to July 1997, most new episodes were run from February to August. The first movie, ''[[Is It Fall Yet?]]'', aired right after season four on August 27, 2000. The second movie, ''[[Is It College Yet?]]'', served as the series finale and aired January 21, 2002.
Since the end of the series, ''Daria'' has not aired in reruns on MTV. The show was picked up in syndication by fellow Viacom network Noggin. Daria airs on Noggin, as part of the-N, the channel’s nighttime programming aimed at young teens. However, fans are not entirely pleased with the situation. The biggest point of contention is that certain episodes have been edited for content, at time cutting out entire scenes. Other episodes, meanwhile, have never aired on the-N. Adding insult to injury to some, Daria has slowly been phased out of the-N’s schedule, to the point where, as of early 2005, it aired at 4 a.m. eastern time.
