Daria is an animated television series that was originally shown on the cable television network MTV in the late 90's. The series was about a smart, sarcastic, and standoffish high school student, the student was a female. This was a spin-off of the animated Beavis and Butt-head series which was originally shown on MTV through the mid 90's.
The series was widely praised for the myriad-minded storytelling and for the well-drawn characters and took ridiculing jabs at high school life, and was full of allusions to and criticisms of popular culture, especially then-current pop music. At this time, rock and pop music and videos were very popular.
Character Daria's first appearances were as a character on Beavis and Butt-head, which featured two comically stupid and vulgar teenage boys. MTV senior vice president and creative director Abby, explained that when that when the show "became successful, we ... created Daria's character because we wanted a smart female who could serve as the foil." During the final season of Beavis and Butt-head, MTV representatives approached the story editor, offering a spin-off series for Daria. A five-minute pilot, "Sealed with a Kick", was written. MTV gave a green light for a series order of 13 episodes.The writers became the executive producers.
The first episode of Daria aired in 1997, about nine months before Beavis and Butt-head ended its original run. It then went into reruns. Titled "Esteemsters", it featured Daria and her previously unseen family members settling into their new hometown of Lawndale she had moved from Highland, the home town of Beavis an Butt-head. Now the central character, Daria's caustic and sardonic personality became stronger since she was the lead character.
The series ran for five seasons, with 13 episodes each, and two TV movies were also produced. The first movie, Is It Fall Yet?, aired in 2000. MTV planned a six-episode sixth season, but at Eichler's request this project was cut down to a second movie, Is It College Yet?, which served as the series finale in January 2002.
