DARIA: DARIA! (TV)
Summary
One in this animated comedy series about dry-witted teen Daria Morgendorffer and her adventures with her family and classmates. In this musical episode, Daria and Jane introduce the "Sarcasathon 3000," and in the morning, Daria's parents and sister sing a song about the upcoming day, though Daria is less enthused. At school, Daria and Jane make plans to escape a pep rally by hiding on the roof, but the game is cancelled when a hurricane warning is issued, and everyone sings about their fear of the incoming storm. Kevin suspects a conspiracy, though Daria and Jane are intrigued by the idea of their boring town blowing away. They inform Kevin and Brittany that the storm is in fact real, but then are accidentally locked out of the school and stranded on the roof. Despite the weather warnings, Helen lingers at work and Quinn remains at the mall, both pondering in song their respective obsessions with work and shopping. Jake frets about his family and experiences a bout of road rage when he has a hard time getting home on the crowded streets. When he arrives home, he finds that Daria is missing, and Trent is unhelpful when they call the Lane home looking for her.
On the roof, Daria, Jane, Brittany and Kevin seek refuge in a rickety water tank shack, wondering in song if their families are concerned about them. Helen urges Jake to stay home and not worry, but he grows angry and declares that he will do the "manly" thing and go to find Daria with Trent's help. As the shack begins to collapse in the high winds, Kevin musters his own masculine courage and attempts to break down the door and run to safety, but when they escape, they find that the storm has ended. The entire town sings about their relief, and although Jake is annoyed at having crashed his car into a tree, he is relieved to be reunited with Daria, and everyone looks forward to the dawning of "another weird morning." Commercials deleted.
