That Daria show is annoying. If it was more like Becker it could work. Maybe MTV doesn't realise that cynicism isn't entertaining unless it's funny.
Still, nobody but an Australian watching TV during the 80s and early 90s can imagine how bad kids' programming can be. We had a show called Mulligrubs, which revolved around a pair of eyes and lips that gurgled at the screen. Lewis Carrol my ass - that show was more demented than anything I've ever read or seen.
Anybody remember it?
