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]].
