What, not being able to use food stamps to buy a weave? Seeing your baby's daddy killed in a drug deal gone wrong? Getting kicked out of Taco Bell because you threw a tantrum at the clerk for not giving you enough sour cream?

Yeah the revival was some very solid stuff but I don't think I'd put it as "best".

Did the Daria reboot ever happen?

MTV is still around? People still watch that? Whoa.

The only upside, if you like King of the Hill, is it frees him up to work on a revival of that. He's already expressed interest and already said his 1 stipulation is the characters all have to age up in real time or somewhat close to it. I imagine Lucky and Luanne's characters will have died and left parenting to Hank and Peggy. Plus it gives em the daughter/second child that Peggy(or both?) Hank both wanted.

No. Thank god.
I'm still waiting for a release of the series with the original music back. There is literally an "Everybody Hurts" joke and it doesn't work without the song.
In my head canon, I’d like to think that the Beavis and Butt-head revival was inadvertently aided by John K.’s disastrous attempt to relaunch Ren & Stimpy as Adult Party Cartoon. Mike Judge was given a case study on what not to do.
Also, even though he could have easily made the show edgier, I’m glad Judge kept it at a PG-13 level. Beavis and Butt-head would have had nothing to gain apart from five minutes of shocking novelty.

Nope.
Mike Judge’s sense of humour is just what it is, and he always made the show he wanted to, aside from the whole thing with MTV curing Beavis of his pyromania to avoid a lawsuit. Judge doesn’t really get any more vulgar, even in Tales from the Tour Bus, which would definitely afford a LOT of opportunities to work blue. His biggest laughs usually come from skirting around the worst possibilities in hilarious ways, while you know what’s really going on.
I know. I just wanted another chance to shit on John K.
You might be thinking of Mission Hill, in the "Andy vs. The Real World" episode.

As much as it sucks to have a lot of the music taken out, it would have been extremely expensive to release on DVD. Luckily torrent sites have the whole series with the music restored.
Torrent sites also have Beavis and Butthead with not only the music videos restored, but also the clips that were later edited out due to the lawsuit, and the episodes that would have been lost to time if someone didn't tape them when they first aired.

Especially funny since Jodie never wanted to be a token black woman, and now she's getting an entire series because she's a black woman.
"Daria" was a great show. Somehow I doubt that this spin-off will be all that great.
I've seen "reconstructions" on Myspleen using the original soundtrack muxed into the DVD video, and I think I have some very old .rm files kicking around somewhere of the TV movies when they were shown on MTV.
The feels man. They're too real.
It wouldn't surprise me if it'll tank very easily.
I'm wondering if Mike Judge didn't give them permission to use the character of Daria so that's why it's just Jodie now.

The critics will love it, though.
/edit:
They should do a spin-off of Michael MacKenzie and call it "Mackdaddy". Or of Upchuck.
Nope. I remember the part very clearly because I think it was Daria making a quip to Trent and then it's referenced not even a minute later because they're stuck in traffic trying to get to a thing Mystic Spiral was gonna perform at but something happens to the van and they end up pulled over on the side of the road.
I heard about that a while ago, but the series wasn't complete so I was holding off on downloading it until it was. And like Viacom doesn't have the money to pay for all the song rights (boohoo, they might lose a billion in profits, god forbid).
This is not a response directly to you, but we tend to mock people on this site who suggest that studios should pander to the lesser letters of the ever growing LGBT alphabet soup and that these studios should just be willing to take the loss when it turns out the audience just isn’t there. Likewise, I don’t think there are enough Daria fans to justify that expense, and there are even fewer who either care about the original music or would be willing to buy a set with that music restored. We’re talking a small percent of an already small audience. And though I know the characters would occasionally reference the music playing in the background, it would be hard to argue that the music is as pivotal to the show as, let’s say, the music videos in Beavis and Butt-head, a far more popular series with a much bigger audience that still isn’t large enough to justify the costs of clearing all the music for a home video release. My favorite show is MST3K, which has also had to negotiate rights after the fact for home releases. That show got lucky in that the major studios that own the rights to some of the films they featured (which are more than you’d might expect) eventually settled for what little worth they could get out of them. Music studios have not been as willing to take a smaller check. It sucks, but that’s how it is.
