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 airsaired on Noggin, until 2006 as part of the-N, the channel’s nighttime programming aimed at young teens. However, fans arewere not entirely pleased with the situation. The biggest point of contention is that certain episodes have been edited for content, at timetimes cutting out entire scenes. Other episodes, meanwhile, have never aired on the-N. Adding insult to injury to some, Daria haswas slowly been phased out of the-N’s schedule, to the point where, as ofaround early 2005, it aired at 4 a.m. eastern time.
 
Since being taken off of the-N, Daria has not been shown on any other broadcast, cable, or satellite networks in the US (aside from a largely-unannounced mid-morning MTV showing of Is It Fall Yet? on April 24th, 2009), and little news would surface about the show's status until 2009, when rumors of a DVD release started to bear fruit.
==Fan community==▼
Throughout the years, ''Daria'' fans have been interacting online (see Fan Communication). This is where most of the interaction takes place. However, as time went by, several fans have gotten together in real life (see Dariacons). Fans have found very interesting ways to express their devotion for the show, from art to essays (see Fan Art, Fan Essays). While some of the art and writing are plain and simple, others are outstanding and shine for their originality. ▼
 
▲==Fan community==
The ages of members of the community are typically higher than the average Noggin viewer. This is mostly because the majority of them have been loyal to the show since its original runs on MTV, but most importantly, due to the adult nature of the show.

===Erotica===
Daria erotica stories (or [[Dariarotica]]) explore the secret sex lives of the characters that supposedly were barely brushed on in the series. Some of them are very in character and gentle love stories, while others are tales of passion, lust and kink. "Lawndale After Dark" was the name of the first Daria erotica site. Currently, the remains of that site are hosted in a section of The Sh33p's Fluff's "Mistress Daria's Dungeon." (see Fan Websites)

Line 81:
Essays about the show question aspects such as past, present and future of the characters, personalities, relationships, citizens of Lawndale, episodes, movies and the direction the show has taken throughout the seasons, among others. Fandom essays are mostly about issues such as writing fan fiction, fan art, message boards, accusations against the Daria fan community and controversy inside the fandom.
 
The majority of essays that exist in the Daria community were written during the original run of the series, particularly the first two seasons. Since the show went off the air on MTV, essay writing has been severely curtailed, with output reduced to a mere trickle. Increasingly, this wiki has superseded essays as a method of disseminating information regarding the show and its fandom.

Events at a Dariacon vary, but often there is a combination of watching and discussing the show, along with general socializing between the participants and eating of pizza.
