5.0 out of 5 stars Daria is a refreshing delight, January 1, 2000

This review is from: Daria [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Unlike MTV's other hit cartoons, Daria depends more on sarcastic and amusing humour instead of fart jokes and stupidity. This tape includes the first three episodes of the first season of Daria. They are all excellent, from "Esteemsters" which shows Daria and Jane taking a self esteem class. The reaction from Daria's workaholic mom, Helen is a hoot, "We tell you over and over that you're wonderful and you just don't get it. What's WRONG with you!" The second episode deals with Daria and Jane invited to a party by popular but mentally empty Brittany, and the third, "College Bored," has Daria and her popular sister Quinn causing mayhem at a college. Daria is enlisted to do others homework for them. When her dumb father discovers this, he says, "And you made them pay in cash. Good girl." I love the razor sharp cynisism of Daria and Jane in a town populated by airheads.

4.0 out of 5 stars An excellent introduction to "Daria", July 8, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Daria [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This video (consisting of the first three episodes of the TV series) is an excellent introduction to the series, focusing on main character Daria Morgendorffer as she begins school in a new town ("Esteemsters"), tolerates a cheerleader's party ("The Invitation"), and endures a visit to her parents' alma mater ("College Bored"). Plus, the short, never-aired B&W animatic pilot ("Sealed With a Kick") gives us a behind-the-scenes glance at the development of the series. It's interesting to see the changes between the pilot and the series as it ultimately premiered.

However, there are a few small caveats with this video. One is that is that the original music used in the televised episodes has been replaced with more "generic" songs. It doesn't detract from the overall stories, but video purists should be warned. The other caveat is that the opening credits for all three episodes have been eliminated, and the closing credits are combined into one long crawl. Again, it doesn't remove anything from the story, but purists may ultimately find that the only attraction of the video is the animatic pilot. Caveat emptor!

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Lord, It's Me!!, October 21, 2000

This review is from: Daria [VHS] (VHS Tape)

All this time I thought I was the only one. I have a Jane Lane as a best friend. When we watch Daria together it's like watching ourselves. I love Daria and have been a fan quite some time. I'm waiting for "Is It Fall Yet?" to be available.

If you are a bit (or a lot) anti-social, hate stupid, shallow people, and are somewhat cynical, Daria will appeal to you.
