I bought my copy on 8th December 1998 for £8.99 at Virgin Megastore. In June 1999 I saw a copy at The Last Picture Show in Meadowhall Centre near Sheffield, priced at £10.99.

Note: on my copy, it's a PG certificate, but one merchant's listing suggests that it's now been awarded a "U" certificate (suitable for viewing by people of any age).

DVD cover for Is It Fall Yet?
DVD
Fans in North America can enjoy Is It Fall Yet?, the first Daria movie, on DVD and video (released 15.1.02). The DVD, which also includes the episodes Fire! and Dye, Dye, My Darling, and the Mystik Spiral Freakin' Friends music video, is sold and labelled as a Region One release, designed to play only on DVD players sold in North America. Fans have found it will play in other regions: more information here.

There's no news yet as to when (or if) IIFY? will be released as other region DVDs or as a PAL video; fans outside North America might have a long wait. If you discover anything about plans for IIFY? outside North America, please tell me so I can pass on your information here. If you don't want to wait for IIFY? to be released as a region-free DVD, or as a DVD for your region (or you just don't have confidence that this will ever happen!), click here for some useful information, including prices and international shipping rates from a number of merchants.

There's no news yet as to when (or if) IICY? will be released outside North America. If you don't want to wait for IICY? to be released as a region-free DVD, or as a DVD for your region (or you just don't have confidence that this will ever happen!), click here for some useful information.

Daria Disenfranchised video cover
VHS
A PAL format video called Daria Disenfranchised, containing "Café Disaffecto", "Malled", "This Year's Model" and "The Lab Brat" is available in Australia.

If you hear news of any UK release of Daria Disenfranchised, please tell me!

         
Splendora, the all-female New York band who recorded the Daria theme You're Standing on My Neck, recorded a CD called In the Grass, but this CD does not include the Daria theme, and is now hard to obtain: you might be lucky and find a secondhand copy. Splendora's track Rat Fink is featured on the British indie compilation Nings of Desire, which was selling at £9.99 on 21st January 2002.
