Line 36:
When ''Beavis and Butt-head'' was in the latter half of its run on MTV, [[http://www.huffingtonpost.com/john-garrett-andrews/daria-the-untold-tale-par_b_5449805.htmlMcGrath - who wanted to bring more girls to the network - ordered [[MTV Animation]] to pitch cartoons for a female audience]. Four original pilots would be created by outside creators. MTV also asked [[Glenn Eichler]], who worked on ''Beavis and Butt-head'', to create a spinoff series based around Daria. In an interview with [http://www.avclub.com/articles/mike-judge,13875/ The Onion AV Club], ''Beavis and Butt-head'' creator [[Mike Judge]] said that MTV had mentioned the idea to him and he was surprised to find out they were doing it without his involvement, using some people he wasn't keen on (though he viewed Eichler as a good choice); he believes "I think they were trying to show that they could do something without me".
Production began in 1995. The initial designs
A short animated pilot, "[[Sealed with a Kick]]", was created by with Karen Disher as production designer and Sam Johnson and Chris Marcil as writers. The pilot was never aired and was never intended to be a completed cartoon. The animated characters are not colored, with different voices for main characters (like Kevin). Disher's designs of the main characters would further change between the time of "Sealed with a Kick" and the airing of the first new episode, and some parts of the characters were altered: Daria became less proactive in the series, for example.
