Awesome! I remember they had a marathon a few years ago and I recorded most of the episodes on VHS but I don't know where those tapes have gone. I loved this show.

At long, long last. I've been waiting for this news for what feels like forever. Believe it, for a long time it felt like Daria would never be released on DVD, forever stuck in copyright limbo. And now it's here, and it really seems like they're putting a little effort into the final product too!
Apparently Amazon are attempting to get a Maxx DVD set produced.

Actually, there is a Downtown set available - the series creator, Chris Prynoski, created a DVD set and released it through his own animation company. The DVDs are technically promotional discs, but are perfect quality, and every episode has a full commentary (some carried out under the heavy influence of alchohol....)

I heard that on tvshowsondvd.com, this has been in the top 5 most voted shows that people want on DVD that haven't been released yet. I was surprised to learn that it's so popular. I hope #1 ('60s Batman) isn't far behind!

I thought I saw a Maxx DVD come out several months ago? I've never seen Daria, is it any good? I just recently saw Beavis and Butthead for the first time on DVD and it was mildly funny. What kind of show is Daria?

This is very, very good news.
I might be a middle aged guy, but I really like this cartoon. Daria says all the things I wish I'd been smart enough to say when I was at school. And I've met some of the characters back in those days, certainly Upchuck and Jane.
Hmmm. Glad I'm not a teen any more.

I'm a middle aged guy too (41 &1/2) and as a 30-something Gen-X'er, I loved this show, and am also glad to see it on DVD. I hope that the song rights have been worked out-I'd hate to buy or rent the set only to have generic sounding music where the songs were (what happened to the WKRP In Cincinnati season sets).

Yay!
I got the Daria thing a lot when I was a kid, which only marginally annoyed my stunningly masculine sensibilities.

Yes...

I remember watching the show once when the song over the closing credits got into my brain and wouldn't leave. I didn't know who it was for ages - until I found a Daria website that lists the music used (yes, I am that sad). After a process of elimination I found out that it was a Juliana Hatfield song. I knew I recognized the voice...
Yeah, me too.

The character Daria actually originated in B&B, but her own show is very different. It's a satirical cartoon comedy that mocks the conventions of high school (both on TV and in real life) and American society in general. Daria is a cynical, sardonic bookworm caught in a world dominated by jocks and bimbos; whether one enjoys the show or not really depends on how much you like her character. I recommend seeing a few episodes first.

41 & 1/2?
I don't think you get to be "& 1/2" after about 9 or so, and certainly not after 40!

I'd say they succeeded...

Buyer beware, it sounds like a DVD-R release, read the reviews.

Re: Daria - Here It Is, MTV's Release Date (and Extras) for Daria on D
I've never actually watched any B&B apart from ...Do America and a YouTube clip of the bit where they're Picard and Riker. Was Daria's character very different on B&B?
Re: Daria - Here It Is, MTV's Release Date (and Extras) for Daria on D
"Diarhea cha cha cha" (you'd have to be there)
The character was close but the shows are very different in tone and aim.

If you think of Anderson(?) from B&B evolving into Hank Hill, Daria sort of performed a similar transformation in terms of eclipsing the source material.
I really really really wanted her and Trent to work out.

^^ I don't know, I was pretty fond of the source material. And I loved Tom Anderson.
