[This just came in through rec.arts.animation. "Downtown" fans, read it and weep. BTW, Danny worked on the production staff of DT.]

That show was putrid not only in its poor scripting but in its appearence, it was as if someone pissed on the camera filters.
Good riddance,

Quinn: People are so weird!
Daria: Some are weird. Some are just astonishingly self-centered and deceitful.

Tis and old saying (at least in my circle of friends): If you drink before 11am, you're an alcoholic, so sit by the clock watching for it. =)

I actuallly liked Downtown. I thought it was well-characterized and funny. Oh well ...

Me too. I thought that it needed time to develope as a series, much like
Daria.I liked the characters and wanted to see them grow.
I thought the jig was up when they moved it to Monday nights.I mean, if you
want the show to grow and prosper you put it at a time when it will be seen by
the most people, right?
This shows what fan support means to a show.I can sort of imagine Daria
sharing the same fate without it.
Sorry.Jeff M

Conversely, I thought it was the anti-Daria: the trivial problems of a bunch of struggling-to-be-trendy urban club kids. Ick. Perfect for MTV's audience, though, I'm rather surprised it wasn't a success.

It lampooned the whole scene shamelessly, though. The clubbers, including Alex's sister Chaka, and her friends, were portrayed as idiots; Alex's dream girl (the goth Serena) was rather obviously a lot less wonderful than he imagined her, and the most sympathetic character of all (Jen) was a spunky, sarcastic misfit. Alex, however, was weak, and he wanted a "cool" girlfriend, failing to recognize Jen's obvious crush on him.
I think the series had a point to make, but now alas it will never get to make it.
