Daria (Created by Glenn Eichler Susie Lewis Lynn, 1993-1997)

Genre:Contemporary

Honors:None Found.

Review: Daria is a cynical, intelligent, and strangely likable teenager that spends most of her time feeling superior to most of her classmates.  She has a very popular sister, Quinn, and the two are so different they are constantly getting in each other's way.  Jane, Daria's best friend, is a talented artist and is equally fed up with the status quo.  Each episode of this animated series shows Daria in a teenage situation and includes a creative array of teenagers and the adults that torment them. 

Opinion: This is hilarious! Daria is witty and rude, but I love her.  While I think I'd have to be teenager to truly enjoy her angst, it is not wasted on adults.  Teens, especially, those that do not consider themselves part of the "trendy" group will relate to Daria and her comedic situations. 

Ideas: Have a Daria costume contest.  Who can look most like the real Daria or Jane?  (Nerd glasses are in style right now, Daria would fit right in!)
