new time for show?

    I really hate to be a nag about this, but it looks like MTV is
dicking around with their programming schedule again.  Since I am
currently engaged in fulltime involuntary servitude (aka job) the VCR is
the only way I can catch "Daria".  Have they moved it from the 2:00 PM
weekday slot?  I just finished fastforwarding through an entire tape and
there are no Darias anywhere to be found, just "Road Rules" (what is so
friggen great about that show anyway?).
    What are the current times for "Daria" these days?  Are they gonna
randomly jerk it all over the schedule like they do with all their good
shows?  Also, is the Daria chat room on DALnet IRC still active?

Today, they put Phanatic or some such show in at 2:00 PM instead of Daria. Daria came on at 2:30. Our weekly printed newspaper guide did not say anything about the change either. The episode was the one about friends from the past visiting (This was Then, then was dumb.. --- I forget the exact title).

I've noticed this ever since I started depending on the 9:30am and 2:00pm slots to catch up on the ones I missed (I'm still missing "Esteemers" and "This Year's Model"). At least they've not tampered with the Monday 10:30pm time slot yet, though I wouldn't be surprised if they start to do what NBC does with "Homicide": jerk it all over the schedule so that it loses its faithful audience. :-(

I actually would not mind it if "Daria" was moved from the Monday 10:30pm slot to another slot...as it is, "Daria" competes head-to-head with "Bob & Margaret" on Comedy Central, and I would like to see *both* if at all possible. Monday, 10pm would be ideal...that would mean that I'd be able to just switch cable channels and keep the tape running for "Bob & Margaret."

Since Viacom owns half of Comedy Central, certainly this kind of arrangement wouldn't be too much to ask for. Then again, that would mean that "Daria" would then be head-to-head with "Dr. Katz" and even though I HATE that show some other fans of both would be in a similar quandary...grrrrr!

Tuesday at 8:30, right after "King Of The Hill" perhaps???

This is wishful thinking, but not only moving it to that time slot but also to FOX, they have a history carrying prime-time animated shows and have had some success with them, and with the popularity of KotH any show after it can get a respectable audience(i.e. more people than just us would get to see the show, possibly more people would become fans and the ratings would increase)

Too bad it would never happen. First, and most importantly, MTV owns the show and will probably air re-runs until we're on Social Security. Secondly, the show is kind of seen as a chick show and unfortunately that means that it won't make enough money for advertisers looking to sell to gullible young males. Too bad, because the show kicks butt!!!

As a young male, I resent that. But it's true.

While I don't resent it, I never considered it a chick show. Sure, the protagonist and most of the characters happen to be female, but I think it speaks to a pretty wide audience.

Are you one of those low-percentile ignoramuses that can't program a VCR that brings the rest of us VCR users down to the level of pond scum?
