In the last couple seasons when they decided to do big character-growth arcs (basically from the point that Tom showed up), my favorite character ended up being Quinn.
In the early seasons where everyone was more static, that is kind of an impossible question.

The voice acting for Britney was amazing, that little squeak that she'd do at seemingly random points in each sentence has me lolling hard.

I agree that Quinn's development was handled the best. At some points in the last season, I actually liked her more than Daria, which would have been totally inconceivable to me when the series began.
"Britney" is actually spelled Brittany, by the way!

― oneohtosh point never (m bison), Thursday, 2 September 2010 11:23 (fourteen years ago) link
Well yeah it maybe could have been handled better but I also think it would have been wrong to not have either Jane or Daria have a boyfriend in school. They weren't absolute freaks, no matter what Brittany (thank you Duane) or Kevin may have accidentally said.
― a hoy hoy, Thursday, 2 September 2010 11:27 (fourteen years ago) link
Tom was an okay character, but he suffered in having no distinctive personality traits of his own. He had some of Daria's sarcasm, some of Jane's detached coolness, but he wasn't as good at either. Unless one considers "being rich" to be a personality trait.

I find it really hard to decide on the best Daria episode. For me it's a three-way tie between "Arts N'Crass" (Daria and Jane enter an art competition and have their painting censored), "Through a Lens Darkly" (contact lens episode) and "The Misery Chick" (jerk football hero visits Lawndale, dies).

rewatching this i am thinking of voting trent. the episode where he plays brittany's party, his reaction in seeing brittany in jane's room, the discussion about being below sub zero, 'every dog has its day', he's such a great character.

It is a real shame, although they did make an effort to recreate the feel of the original soundtrack which mostly works. At some points it really jars, especially for the "Everybody Hurts" joke in the rock festival episode ("This is like that REM video..."); thankfully they rarely based jokes around the music.
― Duane Barry, Monday, 6 September 2010 20:46 (fourteen years ago) link
I'm in the midst of re-watching the entire series, and it's going to take some hard thinking to figure out for whom to vote -- but certainly Jake is the front-runner.

Just out of curiosity here, was Daria actually "big" in the US in general pop-culture terms? I suspect it was be more of a cult-following-only thing than a popular juggernaut like B&B (Daria wasn't really shown much in my home country). If somebody dressed up as Daria and Jane at a Halloween party like Perry and her friend there, would many people actually get the reference?

HideReception and legacyBy 1998, Daria was one of MTV's highest rated shows, with the network's manager Van Toffler viewing her as "a good spokesperson for MTV, intelligent but subversive".During her popular run on MTV, Daria was part of the Cool Crap Auction in 1999, giving an overview of the goods for auction and talking "live" to the winner of one prize.[18] Daria and Jane also hosted MTV's Top Ten Animated Videos Countdown, poking fun at MTV's cheap animation. At the end of the series run, she had an "interview" on the CBS Early Show with Jane Clayson.[19]Daria received positive reviews during its run. John J. O'Connor of The New York Times wrote of the series' premiere, "With this new series, Daria triumphantly gets the last laugh" and "As far as MTV and Beavis and Butt-head are concerned, Daria is an indispensable blast of fresh air. I think I'm in love."[20]Daria received a ratings share between 1 and 2 percent, about 1 to 2 million viewers.G.J. Donnelly of TV Guide, writing about the series' finale, lamented, "I already miss that monotone. I already miss those boots. ... Even at its most far-fetched, this animated film approaches the teenage experience much more realistically than shows like Dawson's Creek."[21] On the same occasion, Emily Nussbaum wrote at Slate.com that "the show is biting the dust without ever getting the credit it deserved: for social satire, witty writing, and most of all, for a truly original main character". She particularly singled out for praise that all the characters were heading "to very different paths in life, based on their economic prospects", giving the show an ambiguous end; "[the finale is] a bit of a classic: a sharply funny exploration of social class most teen films would render, well, cartoonish."[22]Internet reviewer Doug Walker listed this as his favorite TV show in his list of his 20 favorite TV shows, stating that the show "WAS high school" and that out of all 66 episodes, he only found three he didn't like.[23]AOL TV ranked Daria the fourteenth Best School Show of All Time, describing it as "a witty parody of the teenage experience".[24] In 2002, TV Guide ranked Daria number 41 on it's "50 Greatest Cartoon Characters of All Time" list.[25]

I think they did an OK job with the substitute music, but there are some scenes I'll always associate with the original ST (eg Monaco's "What Do You Want from Me?" in the scene where Daria dresses up as Quinn). Party scenes in particular have been weakened by the OST absence.
