Editing Daria (section)

==Production==
No other characters from ''Beavis and Butt-Head'' appeared on ''Daria''; the only direct reference to them was in promotions. Co-creator [[Glenn Eichler]], in an interview conducted after the series' run, stated:

<blockquote>B&B were very strong characters, with a very specific type of humor and very loyal fans, and of course they were instantly identifiable. I felt that referencing them in ''Daria'', while we were trying to establish the new characters and the different type of humor, ran the risk of setting up false expectations and disappointment in the viewers – which could lead to a negative reaction to the new show and its different tone. So we steered clear of B&B in the early going, and once the new show was established, there was really no need to harken back to the old one.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.the-wildone.com/dvdaria/glennfollowup2.html |title=Follow-up Questions (Set #2) with Glenn Eichler |date=20 April 2005 |work=the-wildone.com |access-date=30 September 2011 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111003051141/http://www.the-wildone.com/dvdaria/glennfollowup2.html |archive-date=3 October 2011 }}</ref></blockquote>

In the TV movie ''[[Is It Fall Yet?]]'', several celebrities provided guest voices. MTV host [[Carson Daly]] played Quinn's summer tutor, Canadian [[pop punk]] songstress [[Bif Naked]] played Jane's art camp companion, and [[Rock music|rock]] musician [[Dave Grohl]] played Jane's pretentious art camp host. Several songs by the band [[Foo Fighters]] (in which Grohl is frontman) were featured in the series.<ref>{{cite news |title=SPOTLIGHT; Daria: Smart, Alienated and ...

During ''Daria's'' production, Grandstaff, Eichler, and Lewis had intentions of making a show where women appeared to be smarter and have it directed toward its female viewers, along with giving a voice to individuals who did not feel like they fit in. In contrast to audience belief, ''Daria'' had less planning and the show was left to develop more naturally, especially regarding the types of relationships the main character, [[Daria Morgendorffer]], would have. In addition to this, the creators wanted to capture and represent what high school was like during the time the show was made, while portraying the different cliques typically seen in TV shows with a high school setting.<ref>{{Citation |last=Ashley. |first=Eichler, Glenn.

The first realization of how much the crew became attached to making ''Daria'' was after a five-minute pilot was created, showing how realistic the main character seemed despite being a digital creation. The animation style aided with production by having an uncomplicated form of filming that made the angles and movements appear natural. Lewis recalled letting the storyboards in the early stages of mapping ''Daria'' out aid on how the show would look with animation. Each episode was set to have a processing and completion time be nine months in order to fit making scripts, recording voice actors, and creating storyboards.

When describing why the show took longer than expected to be released on DVD after ''Daria''{{'}}s debut, Eichler recalls: <blockquote>That’s how long it took to clear all the music rights. It also had a lot to do with MTV. Every time they began working on the rights, they had another loopy hit, so their small home-entertainment division had to put their resources on getting that show out. I guess we sort of got under the wire right before ''Jersey Shore''! <ref>{{Cite web |last=Zahed |first=Ramin |date=2010-05-11 |title=Glenn Eichler, Co-creator of Daria |url=https://www.animationmagazine.net/2010/05/glenn-eichler-co-creator-of-daria/ |access-date=2023-04-26 |website=Animation Magazine |language=en-US}}</ref></blockquote>''Daria'' saw a resurgence in viewership in 2020 once the show became available on [[Streaming television|streaming]] platforms such as [[Hulu]], [[CBS All Access]], and later [[Paramount+]]. However, neither ''[[Is It Fall Yet?]]'' nor ''[[Is It College Yet?]]'' became available on Paramount or MTV's website, despite both films being crucial to the show's plot progression.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Dominguez |first=Noah |date=2021-03-20 |title=Daria: Paramount+ Is Still Missing the MTV Series' Two Key Movies |url=https://www.cbr.com/daria-paramount-plus-missing-movies/ |access-date=2023-12-17 |website=CBR |language=en}}</ref>
