I just saw this on the TV Guide website

This is directly from a review of IICY, on the TVGuide.com website...dare we hope, folks?

"I am genuinely sad to see our heroine leave the MTV nest, but as a fan, I could not ask for a better send-off than this. Daria's remarks at graduation define her legacy much better than I could and the surprising closing credits are a real hoot.

But perhaps this isn't the end. Eichler is currently developing a series that revolves around Jane's lazy brother Trent and his grunge band Mystik Spiral. Maybe Daria will pop up on that show from time to time. Until then (sigh), this is it."

This is GOOD news. That has all kinds of possibilities. I would've preferred a spinoff about the Fashion Club girls, but I'm guessing Eichler wants a break from a female-centered show.

I would have preferred a Fashion Club/Quinn spinoff (if they weren't going to do one on Jane) myself.

C'est la vie...

I would love to see this. With good writing a show on Mystic Spiral could be a bottomless pyt of humor.

Looks like TV Guide is just the latest reviewer to like the TV-movie. I'm going to tape it and watch it before the week's out. Earliest day for me will be Wednesday -- I've got three things I'm taping (two of them at the same time), and I want to watch them all. Incidentally, I'm taping an A&E Biography of J.K. Rowling at the same time as IICY, and taping a brand-new episode of the cartoon Justice League at 9:30 -- while watching it. My plan's to re-watch the JL episode tomorrow (it's only a half-hour), and then watch either the J.K. Rowling biography or IICY? on Wednesday. I'll watch the other tape on Thursday.

A developing series revolving around Trent & Mystik Spiral. Hmm -- should be interesting.

Dammit! It's my turn to say "dammit!"

:-)

Well, I'm signing off for the next two-and-a-half hours. I hope some of you will be here at 10:00PM EST to discuss IICY.

If you do, I guess we have to get back into the "spoiler" habit. It's been a while.

I have to admit i am surprised to see ppl liking Daria and JLA at the same time... I've watched the opening three-parter of JLA and still cannot believe how low the superhero comic cartoon had sunk since the original X-men and Batman Beyond which were - to my great surprise - good cartoons... :)

How do you account for the total absence of humor in JLA?

Actually the three part opener did use every Hollywood blockbuster cliche in the book. However the later episodes have been pretty good.

For a weekly dose of smarmy asshole quotient, you've got to give it to The Flash.

The Flash playing lawyer to Green Lantern was hilarious.
