Well, here's a review for it, as I'm sure some of you have been waiting for it:

"Daria Double Feature" is in fact "Daria", the first tape released by MTV, and "Daria Disenfranchised", the second tape, together as one in SP mode. As the front of the clamshell case says, "2½ FULL HOURS OF DARIA. A SARCASM JAMBOREE." I haven't seen the actual first 7 TV episodes, so I can't compare this tape to them. All I can compare it to is "Daria" which I read has different cut-to-commercial music than the TV episodes actually used (and if that's true, then this tape does too). There was only one small difference when compared to "Daria": 6 minutes and 10 seconds into the tape when Daria makes her final comment to Mrs. Manson the psychologist (I won't say it and spoil it for you all) the familiar "La la la la la" when Daria smiles is faded out so much you can't hear it unless you're straining to, purposely looking for it. The Daria black and white pilot episode is included on this tape as well like it was in "Daria", and is interesting (to say the least) to see how the show got started. The order the tape goes is:

This tape is VHS hi-fi stereo and is encoded with the Dolby System. The only complaint I have is that when played in Dolby mode on a surround sound system the music is louder than the speech, but increasing the volume on the center channel corrects this problem, so all in all this is a great tape at a great value! A must-have for every Daria fan.

Contains 7 full episodes plus extras like the original pilot (which is bizarre!). If you love Daria--this is a must! Highly recommend! This is MTV's best show!

This is the MTV Daria! I have it, and love it.

I'm unsure as to whether or not this is MTV's Daria, cuz there are so many other things out there that are called daria like that stupid book by ekaterina gordiava so I need to know... if you buy this tell me if it's MTV's daria! 1
