** Spain didn't got a proper local dub until 1999, as they used the Latin American Spanish dub instead. As as result, the latter used some Spaniard slang along with Mexican and other Latin American ones as well.

** "The Daria Hunter", "Just Add Water", and "Fair Enough" had Daria and Jane trying to get out of whatever social function they were in (Daria and Jane skipped the paintballing trip to go to the Great White Shark museum in "The Daria Hunter", Daria and Jane were trying to get some sleep after staying up all night watching a marathon of ''ick Sad World'' on "Just Add Water"; and Daria and Jane tried to run from Upchuck by getting on a Ferris wheel, only to end up sharing the ride with a sobbing Stacy in "Fair Enough").

* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
** Glenn Eichler was offered, after season five, either a TV movie to wrap up the series or a half-season extension to keep Daria going. He chose the former (MTV at the time had started producing TV movies and Daria's first TV movie was a huge hit for the network), which is a good thing as shortly after Daria ended, MTV killed its animation division and the remaining animation shows on the network all got royally screwed over with them airing at random times and having episodes never air at all, which is why ''WesternAnimation/CloneHigh'', ''3 South''[[note]]the show ''Family Guy'''s Mark Hentemann did before he did the woefully short-lived FOX series ''Bordertown''[[/note]], and the later episodes of ''WesternAnimation/CelebrityDeathmatch'' (not the revival that was on MTV 2, the episodes after Stacy Cornbread died) all ended suddenly or were phased out in favor of other shows.
** When the show began production, there were contingency plans conceived to have cameos by WesternAnimation/BeavisAndButthead as a RatingsStunt in case the show did not take off right away. Luckily, the show was a hit from day one and kept this from ever happening.
*** Speaking of which, plans to have Daria cameo on the revived ''Beavis and Butthead'' were conceived but shelved due to MTV declaring her off-limits to Creator/MikeJudge (who gave up all claim to her when the character got her own show). MTV wanted to keep the option open to one day reviving Daria, and Judge wanted to ignore the series. MTV won, and Daria and her series were left untouched. They ''did'' reference it in-show at one point; in one music video segment, Beavis thought Daria had killed herself, until Butt-Head tells him she just moved away. Daria later made a cameo (chronologically set before her series) in ''WesternAnimation/BeavisAndButtHeadDoTheUniverse''.
** Jane went through a huge number of revisions to her character before the pilot was filmed. She was originally going to be a much angrier RiotGrrrl type (and thus even easier to mistake for a lesbian than the one they wound up with!) rather than the lugubrious, artsy stoner chick we all know and love. Her final character design is actually a younger version of the first draft of ''Principal Li'' of all people (which is probably why a lot of people think Jane sort of looks Asian), who incidentally was originally going to be an overly cheerful MisplacedKindergartenTeacher.
** At one point in time there were plans for a Mystik Spiral spin-off. The script was included as a bonus feature in the DVD.
** There are also the earlier designs: a Fat Ms. Barch, a plainer and pudgy looking Daria wearing a Greenpeace shirt, [[http://www.dariawiki.org/wiki/images/b/b7/EarlyBrittany.jpg Brittany]] wearing a flip (and not looking as slender as she is in the series), a perkier Principal Li, [[http://www.dariawiki.org/wiki/images/6/63/Parentssketch.jpg an ugly Jake and Helen]], Arnie with glasses, and [[http://www.dariawiki.org/wiki/index.php?title=File:Quinnsketch.jpg several designs for Quinn]].
** Jodie Landon's character appears to have been based, in terms of her look, on one of Jane Lane's early designs (note the coincidence of the initials of both names/surnames).
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EQ9qTYCqq24 The unaired pilot]] depicted Daria, Jane and Kevin as much bigger jerks than they are in the series.
** In the unaired pilot "Sealed With a Kick", Daria was more animated, active, mischievous and saucy than in the series, and Kevin was more swarmy than stupid. Physically, Daria looked a little taller (about the same height as her sister Quinn) with longer legs and had a more pronounced figure. And Kevin was more muscular.
** In the unaired pilot,Quinn admits (to Kevin) rapidly that Daria is her sister, though later adding "Doesn't it suck?". And still, judging by the final scene of the pilot,Quinn doesn't seem to be afraid of physical intimacies with her dates, differently of the canon.
** In the early stages of production, Kevin was considered as a possible love interest to Daria.
** Initially, the production thought about giving Daria a brother.
** Several rumors exist for expanded stories with Mack, including him being the third corner of the Daria-Jane-Tom love triangle following a breakup with Jodie, but none of these came to fruition in part due to the VA issues.
** In 2012, there were talks of a possible revival of the series, but this appears to have been scrapped.

* NamesTheSame: Almost. The character Br'''i'''an Danielson's name is one letter off from that of professional wrestler Wrestling/BryanDanielson. Doubles as HilariousInHindsight, since Danielson, better known as Daniel Bryan, would later appear on episodes of ''Wrestling/{{WWE SmackDown}}'' that also included a Daria, Daria Rae Berenato, known in Wrestling/{{WWE}} as Wrestling/{{Sonya DeVille}}.

** Daria's assignment in "Write Where It Hurts", where she must write a story using people in her life. She struggles pretty hard to think of anything besides Macbeth rip-offs and card games.

* TalkingToHimself: Many of the regular characters are voiced by the same actors & actresses:
** Wendy Hoopes played Helen, Quinn and Jane Lane--3/5 of the main cast. According to the [[http://www.dariawiki.org/wiki/index.php?title=Wendy_Hoopes Daria Wiki]], Jane is the closest to her normal speaking voice.
** Marc Thompson voiced Mr. Anthony [=DeMartino=], Mr. Timothy O'Neill, Kevin Thompson, Jamie, and Charles "Upchuck" Ruttheimer III (during the first season only).
** Janie Mertz voices Brittany Taylor, Sandi and Linda Griffin, and goth girl Andrea in her last two appearances ("Mart of Darkness" and "Is It College Yet?")
