==Fizz Ed in Fanfiction==
==Fan Reaction==
Fan reaction to "Fizz Ed" was divided. The episode was similar to a prominent fanfic, which led its author to announce on [[Outpost Daria]] that he would be suing the ''Daria'' creative team. He later announced this was a hoax. Other fans felt the episode was an inferior copy of the first season episode [[This Year's Model]]. In particular, Daria's realistic reaction in "Fizz Ed" to circumstances similar to those in "This Year's Model" was a point of contention.


===Fan Reaction===
It is worth noting that this is the first "normal" episode after a string of pivotal Daria/Tom centric episodes: [[Fire!]], [[Dye! Dye! My Darling]], and [[Is It Fall Yet?]] so fans at the time of first airing who had been expecting to see more development of that story thread may have felt let down.
