That hurt more than I would have expected.
La la LA la la. No seriously. I bought this the other day. One of those shows I atched back in the day. A lot funnier than I recalled it being.

Yeah I used to love that show, until my sophomore year roommate. That guy was a total jerk. And he loved daria... in a way that was utterly wrong.

Ruined the show for me.

But I drove that guy nuts too. He used to get up at like 5 am for rowing or some shit... I used to go to sleep at 3 am or so... one time I finished writing an in college search engine for local kazaa shares ( awesome btw ) and was whooping and hollaring over making some ridiculous optimization code work ( one of my first threaded apps )... 3 am.

Wow KaZaA. There's a reachback.

I watched a few episodes of Daria, too, but don't remember it being very interesting.

Wait, how did you buy Daria when the licensing rights for it is basically impossible? This makes no sense whatsoever. I detect either bootleg, or recorded episodes being transferred to DVD. Also, if you bought any of the Daria movies, you aren't getting the full soundtrack.

I am a Daria buff.

I had a friend who looked just like Daria. I didn't do her. :(

I dunno what's up with your little frownie face empire gatzby, I think your decision making skills were operating well above nominal in that life choice.

BAM. This is a real downer:

The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is not because they couldn't include the original music...which all of us die hard fans who have been begging for years for this release already knew. I'm not even upset at the letter that was included, which I personally think was somewhat of a nice gester because it lets us know that they are well aware of our concerns and desires and the factor that they gave it a Dariaesq tone I found kind of cute. What upset me is some of the music they put in to replace the original ones. Most of them still go with the flow of the episodes so you don't entirely notice the change (I actually found myself struggling to remember what the original songs were in some cases). But there are some that are so disruptive that it's downright annoying. Like the dream sequence in "Ill"...the beat of the original song was similar to the one they replaced it with except for one major difference...the original song was softer!! The song they used to replace it was so harsh and annoying that I found myself fast forwarding through the scene so i wouldn't have to hear it. And there is a scene in another episode where the music is so loud you can't hear the characters talking, clearly showing that the music was dubbed over. And, as another reviewer pointed out, I'm a little disappointed that they didn't include an episode list. Sure many people don't look at it but some of us do, especially in series where the titles are so unique as is the case in Daria. And finally, I'm disappointed that they still included the movies with the cut scenes (they're minor, but if you saw the original on TV you notice them, and it took away some funny jokes).
