101 - Esteemsters 12345678912xxxxxxxxxxxx



102 - The Invitation 12345678912xxxxxxxxxxxx



103 - College Bored 12345678912xxxxxxxxxxxx



104 - Cafe Disaffecto 12345678912xxxxxxxxxxxx



105 - Malled 12345678912xxxxxxxxxxxx



106 - This Year's Model Will have to abstain until I actually see it.

107 - The Lab Brat 12345678912xxxxxxxxxxxx



108 - Pinch Sitter 12345678912xxxxxxxxxxxx



109 - Too Cute Anything involving plastic surgery amuses me.

110 - The Big House Originally was going to be my #1, but the first two just have it beat.

111 - Road Worrier Being a fencesitter, I couldn't really pick this one over TLF, but real close tie. Jane tormenting Daria over her crush on Trent, The greasy spoon scene, The "B" plot complemented nicely. "Just remember to take plenty of rest breaks and stay hydrated." and "You go on to Alternapalooza, and I'll stay here and emerge tomorrow in my new life as a waitress."

112 - The Teachings of Don Jake Technically equal, not as much impact as MNaD.

113 - The Misery Chick I stil can watch this and enjoy it, for no other reason that this ep made me OK with the fact B&B were cancelled(And the fact I was recovering from massive back surgery,MTV screwed up the schedule, and my remote died, forcing me to watch this ep,and "Quinn the Brain" against my will)

201 - Arts 'N Crass" 12345678912xxxxxxxxxxxx



202 - The Daria Hunter tDH Has always been one of my faves, mostly for the quotes/lifts/steals from all the 'Nam movies (the horror,the horror!) and when they left Sandi behind a la "Platoon". I thought the "B" plot was good, as it provided a counterpoint as well as another blockbuster to steal/lift/quote from.

203 - Quinn the Brain 12345678912xxxxxxxxxxxx



204 - I Don't 12345678912xxxxxxxxxxxx



205 - That was Then, This is Dumb 12345678912xxxxxxxxxxxx



206 - Monster OH's conscience saved this one from being just another Quinn slam.

207 - The New Kid 12345678912xxxxxxxxxxxx



208 - Gifted 12345678912xxxxxxxxxxxx



209 - Ill Let's hear it for psychosomatic(no "n",Robert)rashes,The Brittany subplot, and the death scene

210 - Fair Enough Great originally, but eclipsed by later eps, still some good lines.

211 - See Jane Run Not bad, but it just didn't grab me as well as the later eps.

212 - Pierce Me Daria! Trent! Teenage crush! body modification! What else can you say?

213 - Write Where It Hurts "Write Where It Hurts and 5- "Boxing Daria" share even billing in my head, Both great eps, but WWIH showed some weaknesses in writing and since I knew BD was the final ep, it sort of ruined it for me.

301 - Through A Lens Darkly Vanity can always provide a good story,and the exchange in the bathroom was masterful. Quinn's reaction to Daria's question opened a new direction in their relationship IMHO.

302 - The Old And The Beautiful 12345678912xxxxxxxxxxxx



303 - Depth Takes A Holiday 12345678912xxxxxxxxxxxx



304 - Daria Dance Party 12345678912xxxxxxxxxxxx



305 - The Lost Girls 12345678912xxxxxxxxxxxx



306 - It Happened One Nut Though there were some great lines, I felt they could have done OH's entry to the workplace better.

307 - Daria! 12345678912xxxxxxxxxxxx



308 - Lane Miserables 12345678912xxxxxxxxxxxx



309 - Jake of Hearts "Is there anything in his home life that's causing him stress?"

310 - Speedtrapped I'll go with "Speedtrapped", as getting your license is a major point in anyone's life. Favorite line: The judge's wife-"I want your art and you're gonna give it to me!" Jane-"heh"

311 - The Lawndale File Far and away the best, in my twisted little Cold War-child mind. Come on! Communism and Extra-terrestrials, self-induced mind games? The Mulder/Scully clones? Artie!!! Now there's an underused character if I ever saw one! And Comrade Jake, the Sellout? I chuckle just thinking about it. My favorite line: "Come on now, aliens don't hide in the bushes. It's probably a stalker. Yes,it's just a stalker out to plant a teen in a shallow grave. I feel much better now." Another line: "We should be upset now, right?" "I don't know, Daria. Those oufits look pretty good."

312 - Just Add Water Sorry, as much as I can test the bounds of incredulity, both "A"&"B"plots badly handled, DTAH made more sense. Only real loser here.

313 - Jane's Addition Paradoxes rule!Technically, IMHO this and DDMD are solid ties, especially with the Daria-Trent scenes(weep for the 'shippers).

401 - Partner's Complaint 12345678912xxxxxxxxxxxx



402 - Antisocial Climbers 402 had some glaring mistakes, especially regarding weather conditions. As a native Buffalonian,and after living in Utah(Greatest Snow in Earth) Yeah, they over reacted a bit to that dusting,but none of them were really prepared for weather of that type,but just remember,IT'S A CARTOON! and they needed it to carry the story.

403 - A Tree Grows In Lawndale 12345678912xxxxxxxxxxxx



404 - Murder, She Snored 12345678912xxxxxxxxxxxx



405 - The 'F' Word 12345678912xxxxxxxxxxxx



406 - I Loathe A Parade Thought it was a very well-rounded ep,even with the glaring timing probs(i.e.Quinn's 15 minute makeover,OH overlooking the crowd)

407 - Of Human Bonding 12345678912xxxxxxxxxxxx



408 - Psycho Therapy 12345678912xxxxxxxxxxxx



409 - Mart Of Darkness "Whoever's got their hand on my butt, please remove it immediately!" Who do you think it was, Stacy or Quinn?

410 - Legends Of The Mall Shame, since I thought the "B"plot meshed as well or better than most eps. Still, it could've been done better.

411 - Groped By An Angel Good gags in this one,some fairly deep dialogue,and we get to see(almost) the whole fashion club throw up. It was kinda nice to see Daria be kind to Quinn, and hear an (almost)song from MS Too many forced parts, though. "There's no commision involved, is there?" in reverential tones, and the look betwee Helen and Jake, was probably the best lines in it.

412 - Fire! Well handled beginning of the trilogy, Exploration of the dynamics, "B" story, Almost seemed Sandi was truly concerned About Quinn? You tell me...

413 - Dye! Dye! My Darling Yeah,it wasn't funny, but it still was one of the greatest eps ever, just because it's a cartoon doesn't mean it has to have non-stop gags,or running commentary on others stupidity.

MOVIE - Is it Fall Yet? 12345678912xxxxxxxxxxxx



501 - Fizz Ed My personal assesment of "Fizz Ed" is, That though it was a disappointing episode, might it not be construed as a protest(by the creators and staff) against the policies of MTV and Viacom to be outlets for corporate advertising? (Say commercial tie-ins, folks) And might it not be possible that OH was cancelled simply because the advertising revenue possibles (real term) weren't worth the expenditure involved? In little words, the corporate whores couldn't put enough product placements in the show to justify it's existence,mind numbing commercials excluded.Sorry for veering off the thread,but I had to say it.

502 - Sappy Anniversary 503- Took character development a step forward with Quinn actually helping OH in relationship issues,and the "B"plot was kind of humorous, if dated.

503 - Fat Like Me 12345678912xxxxxxxxxxxx



504 - Camp Fear 12345678912xxxxxxxxxxxx



505 - The Story of D 12345678912xxxxxxxxxxxx



506 - Lucky Strike Ms. Li Putting on her foundation garment again,Upchuck?-Even better! It's strike-o-licious!"
This Year's Model-Originally my favorite,'cause General Buck Conroy reminded me of an old CO,but slipped due to above eps.

507 - Art Burn 12345678912xxxxxxxxxxxx



508 - One J at a Time 12345678912xxxxxxxxxxxx



509 - Life in the Past Lane To be honest, this should be a tie with MoD,I liked the subplot w/Upchuck&Stacy and Jane's wardrobe, but overall the story seemed forced.

510 - Aunt Nauseam Second choice simply since it revealed more of the Barksdale family(And I'm a closet Amy fan)

511 - Prize Fighters Not bad, but it just didn't grab me as well as the later eps.

512 - My Night at Daria's Say what you want, S5 wasn't up to our expectations, this ep did it right.

513 - Boxing Daria "Write Where It Hurts and 5- "Boxing Daria" share even billing in my head, Both great eps, but WWIH showed some weaknesses in writing and since I knew BD was the final ep, it sort of ruined it for me.

MOVIE - Is it College Yet? 12345678912xxxxxxxxxxxx
