Happy smiley Tony for once.
I've got a copy of the Daria video!
I had to search Denver, Colorado for it (they were sold out in the Virgin Megastore, and a rather snotty woman in another video store said "no we do NOT have the Daria video", but well done Tower Records at Cherry Creek).
I'll watch it as soon as my eyes sort themselves out from the jetlag.
Barnes and Noble didn't have either of the books, though.

Erm, are you in the UK? 'Cos I would have thought videos sold in Denver would have been in NTSC format...
Virgin were also sold out when I went searching for a copy after no-one bought me it for Xmas, and I suddenly got this horrible sinking feeling that in not buying it before Xmas I might have blown it, but then I went to HMV and to my relief they had five copies. I made my way to the cashier with a stupid grin on my face as I clutched the precious video.
I like the cover design, it's simple and direct. There's no need for fancy packaging when a product is this good, you just want something clearly labelled so you can find it on the shelves, and it is.

I second Shez's word of caution: unless you know your video will play NTSC, you may find, when you get home, that all you can do with it is record over it. <shudder>
My apologies if you know all this. 8-)
If in fact it is NTSC, and your machine in the UK isn't NTSC capable, in your place I'd try and get my money back. The video in PAL format (the one we use in the UK) is now available from a UK online discount store - for more info, follow the "Video" link from http://www.sylvesternet.freeserve.co.uk/members/books/daria/
How are you enjoying your trip to the USA?

I do - it does. Thanks for the warnings, though, Shez and Martin.
Which would be sad. Perhaps I could use it for a few episodes of Pinky and the Brain?
I'm back already! I went out last Thursday (4th Feb), back the following Wednesday (10th Feb). Jetlagged but looking forward to the weekend to a) watch another episode of The Video (I'm watching them one at a time) and b) look very thoughtfully at the bottle of duty-free!

You had to search for it? Wow! Suncoast in our mall always has at least one copy. In fact they have a small section just for MTV videos. I'm just waiting for them to put out a second Daria video. :(
