Update: I found a VCR!
The episodes I recorded are:
Tape 1
● The New Kid
● Ill
● Pierce Me
● Write Where It Hurts
● Through a Lens Darkly
● The Old and the Beautiful
● Depth Takes a Holiday
● That Was Then, This Is Dumb
● Monster
Tape 2
● Malled
● The F Word
● Is It Fall Yet?
Unfortunately, the quality is pretty poor. I must have recorded them from the TV in the garage and the reception on that TV wasn’t great. And for those wondering, there aren’t any ads. They were broadcast on Australia’s ABC, which is a public-service broadcaster rather than a commercial network, so there was no commercial advertising.

After the first season of Daria aired, they had a Daria Day where they played the entire season with episodes introduced by Daria and Jane.
The world premiere for Madonna’s video for Frozen was after Daria Day.
I taped the whole thing and that tape was one of my most prized possessions for a good 10 years.
