I don't want to imagine how they'll butcher Daria's sister, Quinn, assuming that she's even a notable character in this adaptation of the series.
MTV plans Daria reboot along with other MTV classics - Jane replaced due to whiteness
- Thread starter Medicated
- Start date
They'll probably make Quinn fat and super friendly, like annoyingly friendly. Where the comedy will come from that.
And imagine if they do the same to the rest of The Fashion Club members, i.e. taking away Tiffany's slow-talking voice.
I don't see how a reboot would work if they're really doing it. What would Instagram-obsessed, hypersensitive woke teenage girls have in common with the super 90's apathetic, misanthropic, and politically incorrect Daria? She's the opposite of everything they're into now.

If the Beavis and Butthead reboot didn't last, I don't see how long this will. They're better off making Saw Boy Buck into a series:
Heh... Diarrhea...
Cool, another show I can look forward to never acknowledging.
In the old show she was the foil to Daria, vain and superficial and catty compared to Daria's intelligence and bluntness, but even she grew up as the series progressed. I'm not sure how are popular, mean girl blondes accepted nowadays in this woke multicultural society, but unless they make her the outright villain, she's gonna gonna get changed a whole lot. Probably turned into some adorkable nerd or something like that.
Man I loved the old series, if this turns into another Tumblr Fuck Trump Hour I don't think I'll ever get over it. I especially loved Jane...
We all did. I always felt like her (or Daria) myself while in high school.Man I loved the old series, if this turns into another Tumblr Fuck Trump Hour I don't think I'll ever get over it. I especially loved Jane...
Weirdly enough I discovered the show years later. The few times I did catch it during its heyday I always got one of the really bad episodes like the one where the holidays are on vacation, the one where someone kills Kevin and it's revealed it was all just a dream, the anthology episode that had a segment where one of the popular girls was so skinny you could hear her bones, or the one where everyone thought aliens were real and it was a Pod People situation. The one time I tuned in and it wasn't a crap episode was the one where everyone volunteers at a coffee shop. The teacher's reaction to Daria's communist short story was priceless!
I was already an adult when the series started, so I tuned to those earlier seasons, I never saw past them for some reason, but that coffee shop episode was a classic.
The musical episode (I think it was S2E1?) and her dad singing "God, God Dammit" in traffic sticks out in my mind for some reason.
The damnit song is the only thing that I liked in that episode. But I'm not a fan of musicals. That and the boob joke was cute "Britney, could you like, get those things out of my way."
I'm reasonably sure you're right about that. Considering that's the only one I remember from it.
So how much longer do we have to wait for MTV to reboot The Maxx and remove all the weird stuff?
They could have brought back Clone High instead of this.
Why ruin a classic like Daria that doesn't need a reboot at all? Ugh...just leave it alone!!
I would much rather see them bring back Celebrity Death Match than see them reboot Daria. They already ruined Beavis and Butthead, why include Daria in the mix.
Reboot Aeon Flux! That show, in my sight at least...was plain hideous I couldn't believe they made a live action movie about it!

I'm a doddering old fuck that grew out of MTV's target demographic ages ago, so could anyone tell me if the audience that the network has been fostering even give a shit about cartoons? Has the network even made a half-hearted attempt at launching an animated series since the revival of Beavis and Butthead? Given how much of a trailblazer MTV was with animation back in the day, it seems to me that that was an audience they were willing to leave behind when Undergrads, 3 South, Clone High, and Spider-man all failed to make it past a single season. Since then, animation for adults (or at least exceptional man children) has exploded, and MTV is trying to win back an audience that has no shortage of places where they can get their fix.
I don't think so. I can't recall a single animated show since the short lived Beavis and Butthead revival. MTV has a bad history with animated shows. All the great ones barely last a season like Clone High, 3 South, Undergrads, and Downtown. Plus others that I may have forgotten.
I think most of their audience just tunes in for the train wreck reality shows.
Sad they do, but I guess that's what happens when you go down that road.
