If Ellie is that one that has the red hair and is kind of goth, that's my favorite. I only catch parts of this show when its on. I don't know if I've ever seen an entire episode.

... I can't stand that show... It's like a kiddie version of "Boston Public" (as far as being preachy for some bad ideas, and its very strong political stands) and, honestly, it's not that much tamer...
Still, I wish I still had Noggin... I love Daria and the classic Sesame Street can't be beat... I mean, come on! Jim Henson as Ernie...

Out of curiosity is this the new show or the old one ('80's vintage)?

It looks very recent and I know they keep advertising that the next episode is a "new" episode, so I doubt its the one from the 80s. I'm pretty sure its filmed in Canada and its on Noggin.

Daria is my favorite show on that channel too. The writing and characters of that show are top-notch. I would love to see them make some new episodes of Daria. Would you know if they are?

Yeah, it's filmed in Toronto (around Degrassi Street) and originally aired on CBC. Back in the '80s it was originally "The Kids of Degrassi Street", then "Degrassi Juniour High", then "Degrassi High". Now there's this new show, which I think is just called Degrassi. I never really watched the show, but I know a few people who were into it. Personally, I preferred "The Beachcombers".

I don't think there are gonna be any new daria eps... It just wasn't popular... I'm sure it would have ended up on Adult Swim if noggin hadn't picked it up, although I think Viacom and Turner are competitors, and then, perhaps, MTV would have taken notice and picked it up again... I mean, Noggin is a really obscure network. It is only in the digital sphere for cable, and it is in the more expensive set of channels on Direc TV and Dish Network.
