I guess you'd rather forget the ep with <i>Press Gang</i>. *sniff* Gee, you're showing your age when you call Daria "surly" - those were critical lenses in her glasses, y'know. Daria always wanted friends, she just found it hard to find anyone she could relate to, always felt like she didn't fit in and put up barriers as a defence. Her dad was an excellent representation of the Dead White Male, trying to find his position in a family of strong women with a wife who earned way more money than he did. You might be lucky and catch a <i>Daria</i> marathon on MTV - they did one a few years back of every ep and I managed to tape the lot (lucky me). That fillum with Emma Roberts is <i>Wild Child</i>.

Bless your little cotton socks, Jess!

However knowing crappy Channel 10 the double episode shown in the States will likely be shown over 2 weeks here so likely be more than a week late (and 2 or 3 weeks late by mid-season if it gets that far).
