Daria

Daria is an American animated comedy series that was produced by MTV. It was aired from March 3, 1997 to January 21, 2002. When Noggin acquired the rights to air the cartoon during its "The N" programming block, some episodes were banned or censored in order to obtain a TV-Y7 rating and comply with network standards for pre-teens and teenagers.
