Daria on DVD!

You know what would make me feel a whole lot better about this whole kitchen mess right now? Daria. Daria would make almost anything better. Because why not treat real-life cynicism with some cartoon cynicism, but with some added teenage angst… and Trent.

If you haven’t been following the drama over the past few years, despite its being the third most requested TV series on DVD, there’s been little more than gossip and rumors surrounding a possible release. And a pitiful attempt to appease fans by releasing the two Daria movies on DVD (Is It Fall Yet? and Is It College Yet?).

The N network showed reruns of the series until 2006, but viewers complained that the shows were often edited for content, rendering them devoid of important plot points and containing more often than not nonsensical attempts at sarcasm. No good.

Then, in the summer of 2009, this surfaced.

But, not one to be duped by a little Photoshop and a mean streak, I didn’t put much faith into it. UNTIL last month, when MTV officially announced that Daria would, in fact, be coming to DVD in 2010. And they even threw in a teaser.

Another reason I like 2010 already. I can’t wait to enjoy some obscure pop culture references that will surely be lacking all relevancy at this point.

Life = complete.
