Age of viewers

Just curious. I may be one of the older viewers at 36. Then again, my neighbor is 76, and she watches D too. How about you?

28 here

J.B.

On the other end of the spectrum, I'm letting my two mutant pigs (boys, ages 10 and 11) watch.

Me? I'm older than dirt.

I'm 37.

I'm 18.

I'm 20.

The Outsider (Formerly known as Chris Smith)

22. Male. Among all the novel, tv, movie,... characters I've ever encountered, Daria is the only one, I can relate to 100%. A scary but enlightening insight. I hope I'll meet a girl like her sometime. MSB

My mom is 37 and she likes the show. My sister is maybe the youngest fan, she's 2 and she likes it. That's Daya and Quinn and Any and Evin and she have lots of fun.

I'm turning 45 in less than a month, and I enjoy the show. The only time the show's not funny is when, as an old college friend used to say, "It's too real to be funny." It pokes fun at anything and everything.

I've been in many of the characters' places: a rock band, (Acid Rock, the predecessor of many a style since), a stressful corporate job that I was too glad to leave, Education (the rules and regulations were my biggest grief, not the kids), to name a few. The caricatures are almost to real to be called that, and the scenes are right on target. It's a great show for kids who live in a world where more lip service than effort's given to Youth, and it teaches everyone not to take themselves too seriously.

To answer your question, Ben, the last time I checked, I was still a guy.

Then, out of the blue and to my horror, this debate breaks out between Greg Pallis and CrtoonDude:

Something tells me I should vote for Tinky Winky (sort of by default, if you know what I mean), but I personally think this is a terrible idea for a thread. :-)

As someone once said, "The horror.....the horror...."

<when a problem comes along, you must SNIP it>

I Cant comment on the situation, really. I'm not that farmiliar with the show, although I own several Po dolls. They were presents, my friends think it's a riot that I'm named after a girl Teletubby. (Even though i really DID have the name first, they trademarked my name, dammit!)

You needn't feel that way Mindy. I, for one, am very impressed with you. I perceive you as intelligent, articulate, and interesting, fitting the a.t.d paradigm very well. I'm sure everyone else feels the same way.

"I have such interesting and articulate children."

I think so. While IMO Mindy seems "young-ish" (i would have said 16), she doesn't come across as at all immature/childish/na�ve or anything.

Hey chickie, don't fret, I know I am one of those who wouldn't have been able to tell your real age by the way you post. Your writing and conversational style seems to be light years ahead of most everyone else's here when they were your age. At least I myself know that I didn't have as well thought out a grasp on communication as you are when I was your age.

But if it makes you happy...(gives Mindy a sandbox). LOL Hey...just thought of something...when you were actually young enough to be in a sandbox (around 6) I was first starting to get into obsession # 1, DD. OK, so there's no point to it...never mind. :)

Nobody would have guessed you were 14 though if you hadn't have said. I think this is one of the great things about the Net, that people are judged simply by what they say, without all the usual prejudice about age, sex, social status, etc. It's a great leveller. People can happily mix online with those they wouldn't be seen dead with in real life, and on those occasions that you do find out how old other people are, what tends to be striking is how low the correlation is between chronological age and maturity.

-Shez.

Hmm, I guess this does mean I should start censoring my postings for sexual explicitness, swear words and other content your parents could get mad about, doesn't it?

On second thought, you watch Daria, you can turn on a computer and you know how to use a newsreader. For all I care that's as much of an adult as you need to be :-)

OK, seriously. Your brother doesn't read this group unattended, does he? Of course nobody (including me) posts any really offensive stuff here but it could possibly make me think twice about what I write if I knew that a 10-year old was going to read it. Hmm, I just notice that you seem to be Franco-Canadian. Where does that place you in this swear-word and sexual content censorship matter? Do I have to fear evil letters from your parents if I elaborate on my thoughts about a Daria sex education episode? Because that idea has me kind of fascinated, I even have a plot idea by now (If someone's wondering, NO it doesn't include Daria and Trent undressing, it's not THAT kind of story. I'm actually thinking about transforming my personal memories about biology class into a Daria script). MSB

Welcome to Cynicism 101. Our first lesson begins with the timeless theory that most acts of evil in the world are perpetrated by stupid people. Since most of the people in the world are stupid, many evil acts are committed daily-- like posting Spam on newsgroups. (And I've just committed an evil act myself-- I know I could write this better, but I'm too lazy, so I'm committing the evil of mediocre posting for its own sake.)

Well, y'all have a capital don't you? Go conquer that. Or you could just do it the insidious way and slowly creep into the US Legislature and eventually be elected president. You'll need about 5 years before you can do that, though - which is a good excuse to go lay around on Tahitian beaches for a while.

Well, you'll be needing alpha-hydroxy enchanced night cream, alpha AND beta hydroxy enhanced day cream, lotion (of *course*), a face mask to prevent further wrinkles while you sleep, pore refiner (renifer erop to those of you who are cixelsyd ro gnidaer siht sdrawkcab), blah blah blah blah blah...

God. Everyone I know who watches "Daria" is only sixteen. (me included.) My thirty year old brother says: "Daria? that has to be the stupidest show I've ever seen" Down with the establishment!

Gee, your brother must be really mature (not). As far as I know, "Daria" viewers' ages range greatly, from the baby fans who are preteens to the older ones who have said the long goodbye to their 20s. "Daria" is very intelligent and well written; it'd have to be, or else I wouldn't be watching it. Try to convert your brother...please? Use this newsgroup and its denizens if you must.
