The series finale/made-for-TV movie, ''[[Is It College Yet?]],'' featured O'Neill accidentally becoming engaged to Ms. Barch, and being coached by Mr. DeMartino on how to break off the relationship. The results are amusing. |

On the second season episode, "[[The Daria Hunter]]," Mr. O'Neill (unwittingly) began a sexual-but-not-romantic relationship with the misandrist [[Janet Barch]], which is repeated in episodes plotted similarly to "[[The Daria Hunter]]," "[[Fair Enough]]," and "[[Just Add Water]]" (and was mentioned briefly in the episode "[[Murder, She Snored]]").

In "[[The Daria Diaries]]", O'Neill wrote to [[Helen Morgendorffer]] saying Daria reminded him "of myself at a young age, before I discovered Gestalt and the writings of M. Scott Peck", and admitting that Daria's sarcasm upsets him. "Sometimes, after a conversation with Daria... I ache." |
