I miss Daria.
I liked it too. It really helped me deal with elementary school (I was already rather cynical and would vociferously contradict teachers and staff when they were blatantly hypocritical or engaged zero logic coming to decisions, sticking with by the books rules even when it meant that the result would be exactly what the rule was made to prevent - first grade teachers do NOT like seven-year-olds who can barely write talking to them this way even when calmly, even when said seven-year-old is arguing for HARDER math work because they can already do sums, differences, products, and division in their heads and don't want to have to draw the stupid one every time they add a two-digit and a one-digit number, which takes them longer to finish and the first to show the answer gets a treat, unless they neglected to put that stupid one on top, of course).
When I was eight I described sarcasm as the vehicle that enabled me to continue driving through a world controlled by incompetent people. I think I became less bitterly sarcastic as a result of watching that show. My opinion of humanity, however, continues to plummet.
I forgot to mention: you can watch it streaming with hulu plus (~$8 a month) or on Netflix by having them mail you DVDs you return in the envelopes they provide with the DVD (~$15 a month).
