They artfully fail to mention that each of the 13 episodes is about 8 minutes long.

Adventure Time is one of my favorite new shows. It's just incredible. I also watch Flapjack as often as possible.
In terms of older animation, I was raised on classic Bugs Bunny, Freakazoid, Pinky and the Brain, and Animaniacs.

I actually just started the DVDs a few days ago, which I picked up in some crazyfuck sale X months ago.

I don't like The Geek, but in general, that shit holds up!

Animation wasn't that good this time around. Not sure why.

Well, the script didn't really call for it; lots of standing around talking in this one.  About as action-packed as it got was Ruckus throwing bricks and "Don't taze me, bro."

All in all, a perfectly decent episode.  It did what it had to, and that was slaughter a sacred cow.

It's interesting -- the bulk of the episode's set in '08, and it risks not feeling timely because of that, but it's actually got the 2010 view in a nutshell -- Obama isn't the messiah, he's a step in the right direction at best, and people got carried away in the assumptions they made about him.

A middling episode, with a few laugh-out-loud lines, mostly from Werner Herzog.  Not on par with most of the first season, but off to a much better start than the second.

At any rate, good enough that I'm glad it's back.  I assumed the pressure from Sony just meant the end of the series -- guess I should have given the guys at Williams Street more credit than that.

About time they did that. I guess they were too busy counting their money from the royalties of it still airing. Oh. wait. :Daria:

Bought it at target. The foreword thing in the DVD case is amazing.

DEAR BELOVED CONSUMER,

     Finally, the complete DARIA in an offically sanction boxed set. It's the answer to every diehard fan's dreams. Which, given the makeup of diehard DARIA fandom, means it's an opportunity for them to kick off a raging, decades-long debate over the collection's merits and, by extension, each other's validity as human beings.
     So let's answer the big question right away: 99 percent of the music has been changed, because the cost of licensing the many music bites we used would have made it impossible to release the collection (and for many years did). So no, these aren't the shows as aired, but more like one of those astronauts in a TWILIGHT ZONE episode who returns from space and his wife can't figure out what's changed about him, until it slowly dawns on her that instead of a cool song from 1997 playing when he walks into the room, it's some tune she's never heard. Yeah, it's just like that.
     To put it bluntly, replacing the music had to be done. Does that mean this boxset is compromised? Season I Daria would have said, "Yes." Season V Daria would have said, "shut up and pass the remote." Let the raging begin.
     What this collection does have is all the episodes, in the highest-quality, most complete versions that could be found; the two movies; extras like "Sealed with a Kick" animatic, the "Freakin' Friends" video and the Daria Day intros; interviews with some (but by no means all) of the people who contributed to making the show so much fun to create and watch; and a bunch of other things of interested to the uber-fan. Casual fans and DARIA first-timers can ignore the extras. There will be no quiz.
     Finally, many thanks to the people at MTV home entertainment, who worked long and hard to dig up and assemble the elements necessary to make this package possible. I'm looking forward to watching these shows again, and I hope you are too.

Classy as hell.  I'd take a music-changed release of something any day over no release at all.

After watching up to season 3, I can't say I particularly notice. It's not like they exchanged 1990's early 2000's songs for modern songs, they just put in some generic music that still fits just fine.

Unless all the Cake songs are still in it, this completely ruins my plans to watch through and see exactly how often Cake is actually in it.

Depends.  I think The Super Mario Bros Super Show lost something without the musical numbers, and there's one particular episode of Scrubs that originally ended with a bunch of horrible things happening while the theme from Cheers played that just lost all its effectiveness when it was replaced with generic sad music in the reruns.

As for Daria?  Don't know; it's been enough years that I probably wouldn't know the difference, and I don't remember the music being an integral part of it.
