Daria showing up more on The-N

I yield to no one in my detestation for The-N's censoring "Daria." However, give the devil his due, because they're showing it more now. In addition to the 9:30-10:30 block, they're also showing two eps between 7 and 8 PM on weeknights. All times are of course Eastern Daylight.

I suspect The-N has concluded "Daria" is more popular with its young teen audience than they anticipated. Even in its mutilated form, "Daria" is picking up a new generation of fans.

Well, maybe not a new generation, but you know what I mean.

<Sandi> Compared to you, Steve, they ARE a new generation. </Sandi>

They also showed both movies, IIFY and IICY, back-to-back in a row several times a day for a few days last week or sometime thereabouts.

Unfortunately there was other stuff on TV dividing my attention so I didn't get to see the whole movies, but I caught parts of them, and that made me happy.

It's hard to watch the show with it being so chopped up and with those HORRIBLE Noggin advertisements for the rest of the crappy shows on that sad channel.

I agree. It's hard to know what's sadder: the promos for "Degrassi" or the promos for "Girls vs. Boys," Noggin's lame attempt to capitalize on the "reality TV" craze.

However, I'll admit to watching the 7-8 PM block nearly every weeknight, despite everything. Call me a softie!

I do like that Coldplay video. Did you know that they originally filmed it with him walking forward, but singing backwards? I also like the update of "Boys of Summer."

The Coldplay video is mildly interesting, but I miss the original version of "Boys of Summer." Didn't Springsteen do that? I liked the Good Charlotte video, though.

The videos aren't as bad as the promos for their shows. God! They're awful!

It was Don Henley of the Eagles, during the time they'd split up. I think the song was first done in 1984.

version

One of the best songs of the 1980's and, in a rare instance, I like the cover version a lot. The Ataris did a great job updating the song without compromising the integrity of the original (i.e. turning it into a rap or R&B audio sample).
