''Daria'' is an American animated television series created by Glenn Eichler and Susie Lewis Lynn for MTV. The series focuses on Daria Morgendorffer, a smart, acerbic, and somewhat misanthropic teenage girl who observes the world around her. The show is set in the fictional suburban American town of Lawndale and is a satire of high school life, and full of allusions to and criticisms of popular culture and social classes. ''Daria'' was originally broadcast from 1997 to 2002, and is a spin-off of Mike Judge's earlier animated ''Beavis and Butt-head'' series, in which Daria appeared as a recurring character. Although Judge agreed to release the character to allow her to appear in the spin-off, he had no involvement in the production of ''Daria''. ==History== Daria Morgendorffer, the show's title character and protagonist, first appeared on MTV as a recurring character in Mike Judge's ''Beavis and Butt-head''. MTV senior vice president and creative director Abby Terkuhle explained that when that show "became successful, we ... created Daria's character because we wanted a smart female who could serve as the foil."〔("'Daria': Brainy = Zany in MTV's irreverent view of 'girl humor,'" ) ''Chicago Tribune TV Week'', August 17–23, 1997. Retrieved on November 1, 2009.〕 Daria's original design was created by Bill Peckmann while working for J.J. Sedelmaier Productions during Beavis and Butthead's first season. During production of ''Beavis and Butt-heads final seasons, MTV representatives approached story editor Glenn Eichler, offering a spin-off series for Daria, and a five-minute pilot, "Sealed with a Kick", was created by Eichler and "Beavis and Butthead" staffer Susie Lewis (although written by Sam Johnson and Chris Marcil). MTV approved a series order of 13 episodes; both Eichler and Lewis were signed onto the series as executive producers.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Outpost Daria )〕 The first episode of ''Daria'' aired on March 3, 1997, roughly nine months before ''Beavis and Butt-head'' ended its original run. Titled "Esteemsters", the episode established Daria and her family's move from fictional Highland, the setting of "Beavis and Butt-Head", due to Uranium in the water to the new series' equally fictional locale of Lawndale. As well as introducing Daria's parents and younger sister as principal supporting characters, the first episode also introduced Jane Lane, Daria's best friend and confidant. Other than a brief mention of Highland, ''Daria'' did not contain any references to ''Beavis and Butt-head''. 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. Glenn Eichler said in an interview that ''Daria'' was intended as a spoof on high school and that he didn't want a "comfortable, alternative world." He said, "We didn't want anyone finding happiness, period. A basic tenet of the Tao of Daria is that life is not fair, and any fan fiction that concludes differently violates the secret Daria rulebook buried at the base of an unmarked peak in the Allegheny Mountains.
