Daily Dose ... Enjoy it while it lasts ...

Well, we all knew it was bound to happen ...

After checking at clickTV, I discovered that this week appears to be the last week that MTV will air Daria on weekdays at 2:30, so fire up those VCRs for one last go-round this week! (For those of us who are just a bit busy during the day. <g>)

Unrelated topic: does anyone know of a good newsreader? I'm still using Agent 1.0 (because Netscape's NR kinda sux), but if something better is out there, I'd love to hear about it.

way past my bedtime, rich.

Hey, I finally kept a post short! <g>

Mr. O'Neill: Let's pledge to make Daria's dream a reality!

Daria: You mean the one where people walking down the street burst into flames?

Mr. O'Neill: The coffeehouse!

Is there a chance they're moving it to a different time slot, or will it be completely gone (except for the weekly episode, that is)?

Sorry, I made a mistake.

Ok, ok, I'm an idiot. I just checked out ClickTV.com and did a quick search. Apparently they're just not airing any eps during the week of Labor Day, but they're going back to the 9:30A/2:30P schedule of weekday eps the week after. I guess they're doing some sort of tribute to the video music awards or something for the Labor Day week. I had just assumed that after Labor Day, they'd end their little summer beach thing, and were going to go back to biz as usual, but I was wrong. Here are the results I got:

SEE-- here's that week-long gap I saw the other day, so I figured that they'd changed their sched.

Abashedly, rich.

I'm so relieved. :)

I just checked again, and now they say Daria'll be on weekdays at 3PM.

This, course, begs the questions: Whose dartboard does MTV programming use to make their schedule decisions? And how quickly *can* they go from one schedule to another?

Perplexed at Lunch, rich.

This actualy makes sense, as with school starting teens are more likely to be home by 3pm as opposed to 2:30pm.

home by 3pm as opposed to 2:30pm.<<

ABC did the same thing with "Dark Shadows" back in the late '60s. There's a certain cosmic harmony to that, I think...
