Second day of the Daria marathon on Noggin. How did Noggin fit so many commercials per episode? Six episodes per night or so, repeated once.
[Later:] They’ve definitely been chopping up these episodes. I believe some of the Sick Sad World commercials, and in “Road Worrier,” the REM “Everybody Hurts” subtitled thoughts sequence. That was a very marked and noticeable absence in one of my favorite episodes.
[Much later:] It’s not even as if they’re selling all this airtime to advertisers—they seem not to be selling any commercial time at all to anyone but themselves: it’s full of commercials for their three other shows (no joke!) and large digressions about adolescent fantasies and individuality rants.
[Too-much-coffee-man later:] 24seven looks like an interesting soap opera though, and not too heavy-handed. Degrassi is heavy-handed.
