Daria (not to be confused with the separate show Beavis and Butthead which in my opinion is simply crude and uneducated humor) is an excellent show with a lot of good values. It portrays the power of the mind, independence, making the right choices, some underlying feminism ideals, as well as wit and sarcasm. I don't see why this show can't be intriguing and mind-nourishing for children, as long and parents watch the show with them if they are under the age of 15.

What Parents Need to Know
About Daria
Parents need to know that while this animated series provides some important social commentary about teen life, if viewers aren't mature enough to see through its extreme satire, the significance of these messages is easily lost or misinterpreted. Also, while Daria's parents clearly love her, there's almost a complete lack of strong positive adult role models or constructive examples of adult-teen communication. Controversial subjects, such as sexual relationships and drug use, are mocked, and the consequences of these actions aren't fully discussed. Exercise caution.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about what things in their community bother them and the pros and cons of choosing to work to change those things. They can also talk about their adult role models at home and at school. Which teachers mean the most to them and why? Which of their characteristics do teens most admire? The show's use of negative stereotypes and inappropriate behavior are also topics that families may want to discuss.

Great cartoon for the entire family
Beavis And Butthead,was a hillarious cartoon.I feel sorry for the Children whose overly religious parents would not allow them to watch this extremely funny cartoon.This is the way that children in today's society act all the time.I think this is an excellent cartoon,that the whole family can enjoy together.
