Line 8: }} '''"Fizz Ed"''' was the ~~first~~premiere episode of the fifth and ~~last~~final season of ''Daria.'' It first aired on MTV on February 19, 2001. The episode was written by [[Glenn Eichler]]. ~~"Fizz Ed" was written by [[Glenn Eichler]].~~ On the DVD set [[Daria: The Complete Animated Series]], this episode comes immediately after "[[Dye! Dye! My Darling]]", however chronologically the movie ''[[Is It Fall Yet?]]'' came between the two. ''[[Is It Fall Yet?]]'' is on '''disk 8''' if you wish to watch the series in order, after which you can return for "[[Fizz Ed]]" ==Summary== Line 29 ⟶ 23: Finally, mentally breaking down, she roams the school with an axe, smashing open the vending machines in order to get the students to drink Ultra Cola, only to be shortly after carted off in an ambulance. This psychotic scene is witnessed by the superintendent, who had made an unannounced visit. In the end, the situation has ~~almost~~(partially) returned to normal: due to Ms. Li's psychotic break, the advertising bombing of Ultra Cola that had been generated inside the school has been subjected to severe restrictions: the soda machines have been banned from the hallways, but still exist in the cafeteria; ads for Ultra Cola have been paired down to school event tickets and the ''Lowdown'', and Li has returned as principal despite her psychotic break, although its implied she got reprimanded by the superintendent and the school board for her actions. Daria is hesitant to declare victory, however, as the roof of Lawndale High has been painted with the Ultra Cola logo, ensuring that all who pass over Lawndale by plane are marketed to. ==Timeline headaches== The Super Bowl is generally held in January or February. However, the ''following'' episode ~~takes~~[[Sappy Anniversary#Timeline headaches\|may be taking place in November or December]], and either way it's apparently colder in that episode than in this one. Just to confuse matters further, a tax referendum in the US would generally be held in November general elections~~...~~: did the first two minutes of this episode take place over a two month period and "Sappy Anniversayr" actually fits ''within'' this one?? In a surprisingly ''handy'' bit of chronology, the Super Bowl is on the 30th in this episode - it was held on the 30th in 2000. Some ''Daria'' fanfics have Daria graduating in 2000, allowing for this and the dotcom satire of [[Buzzdome.com]]. Line 43 ⟶ 37: ''California'' voters do this though, and in 2000 (when this episode was written) there were [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_California_ballot_propositions_2000%E2%80%932009#March_7.2C_2000 two school-related tax propositions that were voted down]. ==Trivia== Li boasts about being "fourth runner-up for Principal of the Year by the tri-county chapter of the Asian-American Women in Education's Caucus" (which she got by forcing students to phonme up the Caucus). ==Fizz Ed in Fanfiction== Line 57 ⟶ 54: * [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6175/1/Choice_Of_A_Skewed_Generation "Choice of a Skewed Generation,"] by [[Rey Fox]] (uploaded to [[FF.net]] on October 29, 1999) [http://www.the-wildone.com/dvdaria/glennfollowup1.html Second March 2005 interview with Glenn Eichler on DVDaria], which includes a long response about the strengths and drawbacks of "Fizz Ed" as an episode.
