Daria coming to DVD!

Finally! This is one of my favorite animated series, ever. [Link]

These MTV execs, far from the cavalier attitude we've seen too often throughout the years, seemed very intent on doing a good job with the show. They want to make sure they put out a product that we want to buy. To that effect, they seem extra-dedicated to avoiding oversights and lazy slip-ups (like putting the cut-for-television version of IICY? on DVD). And here is some of what they shared:

1. It sounds as though, rather than put the episodes out season-by-season, they are looking to put the whole series out at once, including the movies.
2. There will be goodies, though which ones, I am not sure. However, the Sarcastathons and the specials were mentioned, and it looks as though they are going through ANY footage to find superfluous Daria appearances (like on TV talk shows).
3. The commercial bumpers will be preserved, and in their rightful places.
4. The episodes will be from the original masters, so no Noggin jujitsu cuts.
5. As expected, most of the music will be replaced. The money was not there to attain the rights for DVD. However, some of the replacement music will be covers, and the rest will be replaced by music that is substantially similar. Real music, not muzak.
6. The DVDs could come out as early as spring 2010. I'm going to play it conservative and still claim that they won't be available until late 2010. For outside of the United States, it will be closer to 2011.
7. The price will be very reasonable.
