Finally, the wait is over. MTV's beloved Daria is now on DVD. It includes all 5 seasons of the show as well as the 2 movies. I wasn't sure this would ever happen, it really took them a long time. The hold up was associated with problems getting licensing for all of the songs played on the show. They were not able to pay for the songs and even if they did, it would make the DVD set unaffordable. The compromise was that they were able to release the set but with new original songs added. When I first heard this I thought that would make the show unwatchable, because that was part of the shows charm. a lot of people that reviewed the DVD set on Amazon really hated that they had changed the music. Watching the DVDs, I've noticed that I don't mind the original music so much. The new music in a way makes it more modern or timeless. I enjoy Daria's dry humor and I've enjoyed watching them more than I thought that I would. Kinda reminds me of high school. If you are a fan, then you might enjoy this set as well.

I'd forgotten all about Daria until you mentioned her. She can really deliver the sarcasm. I'll have to check it out again with the new soundtrack. ILL? or DLL? Dwan's Library Loan.
