And to really add insult to injury Noggin' is absolutely the wrong place for Daria.
A very indignant way to treat a show that was both a critical and ratings success, to essentially treat it as worthless filler material. since they own Noggin' they didn't sell it to them and since Noggin' is non-commercial it isn't generating any revenue for them). Which means Daria reruns were essentially 'dumped' there (i.e. Nickelodeon is owned by Viacom which also owns MTV. What really annoys me though is that they decided to rerun Daria on Noggin', a cable channel which is a joint venture between PBS & Nickelodeon. I guess its just the nature of the beast. Not to MTV's credit however, Daria reruns were yanked from the schedule almost immediately after the series finale. And to MTV's credit they didn't hand the show over to someone else just to try and milk some more money out of it with what would have undoubtedly been inferior episodes. MTV would have ordered a sixth, but he felt the show had run its course. Glenn Eicler, the creator & exec producer, decided to stop at five seasons (actually five 13-episode half seasons & two 90 min episodes). First, contrary to what everyone keeps saying Daria was NOT canceled by MTV. Most of what should be said about Daria has already been (in previous reviews) so let me just add a few things.
