Tonight, on a Very Special Episode of Daria … it’s time for “The Misery Chick,” here on Morgendorks! When Lawndale High football hero Tommy Sherman meets his untimely demise at the hands of a rogue goalpost, the school is thrown into depression and disarray—and one by one, everybody seems to be turning to Daria, the ‘misery chick,’ for help. Everyone except Jane, anyway. It’s a really great episode of television, and we had a lot of fun discussing it! We also take a dive into the ‘very special episode’ trope, of which the examples range from phenomenal to, y’know, less than great. Also! Fan mail! Hell yeah!
