Does anyone know of a reliable source of information about when the reruns will end?
I've been taping the shows, and over the next several months my schedule will often require me to ask someone else to do it for me as a favor. I'd rather not do that when it's a show I've already got. - - Jonathan Sachs Sand River Software, Inc. To email me, replace the 'x' with an 'a'.

This web page gives MTV's entire schedule for the current week, Monday to Sunday. The listings for Daria include the episode numbers.
No new Darias are listed, but all ten Aeon Flux episodes will be shown this weekend, Saturday night-Sunday morning from midnight to 5am.
Just imagine Daria grown up to be a cynical and violent revolutionary, in a surreal world of the future, and you have Aeon! 8^)
And with that comes the next question...Since I can't find anything of the sort on MTV's site, has anybody come up with a Daria episode guide, which show numbers, titles and summaries?
I smell an unnofficial web site on the horizon...

A brief visit to http://www.yahoo.com/News_and_Media/Television/Shows/Cartoons/Daria/ (or simply go to http://www.yahoo.com/ and search for the keyword "Daria") shows that Yahoo currently lists *fourteen* Daria web sites. But I'll save you some trouble and point you towards my two favorites:
Planet Daria at http://www.geocities.com/~planetdaria/
and the ingeniously-named alt.lawndale.com at http://www.alt-lawndale.com/
Both of these frequently-updated have complete episode summaries, analyses, character lists, fan-created art and writing, links to related sites (including the Splendora home page), impressive collections of clippings and reviews, and much much more. alt.lawndale.com also features a remarkable section devoted to home pages "created" by certain students at Lawndale High; these fictitious home pages show a staggering amount of insight into the characters on the show. (If you won't take my word for it, Glenn Eichler himself is a fan of this site!) Meanwhile, Planet Daria also includes a web-based chat page which is often contentious and often silly, but I wouldn't mind seeing a few of the participants hop over and join us here.
I should also add that both of these are fabulously well-designed sites showing a great deal of thought and sophistication. (Speaking as someone who gets paid to write HTML code professionally, this really pisses me off. They're both better at it than I am and they're both in high school.)
I'd really love to see both Rowena (author of the Planet Daria site) and Katherine (author of alt.lawndale.com) find the time to participate in this newsgroup. If either one of you is reading this, please join in! Just even to say hello.
Anyway, Sam, this should give you enough to get started with. Both sites include links to all the other sites on the Daria Web Ring, so you'll be able to explore all the others as well.

Yeah, that's what they're doing. The schedule for each Monday-to-Sunday week apparently is posted some time late Sunday -- it's now 4 PM PDT, and the schedule for the week now ending is still there.
Unfortunately that's practically useless to me. My current working schedule has me leaving home bright and early Monday morning most weeks, and returning Tuesday evening. I do *not* have time to log on and check MTV's Web site before I leave home.
It's a safe bet that tomorrow night's episode is a rerun, but at some point that will stop... and it won't be easy for me to find out in time to do anything about it.
Does MTV have an email address that I can use to tell them (politely) that they blew it? I looked on the Web site, but if it's there, it's carefully hidden. - - Jonathan Sachs Sand River Software, Inc. To email me, replace the 'x' with an 'a'.

Word on the rerun schedule comes from the alt.lawndale.com website, mentioned in my previous post. Katherine writes:

"Okay. Here's the deal on scheduling for the next few months. Daria will be in reruns until late May/early June. This happened during season one as well, so it shouldn't be of any surprise that we got 7 new episodes and then 7 repeats, then new episodes again. So keep an eye out for any that you missed or want to see again, and I'll keep you posted on any changes.
"In other related news, Alvaro J. Gonzalez (Trent's voice) informed me that the cast will begin work on Season Three episodes soon. Isn't that spiffy? We get another season as well!"
(end quote)
In other words, the reruns will continue all the way up to an encore Monday night airing of "The New Kid" and the following week should see the debut of a new episode.
