Daria... and suggestions wanted

[miriam_e]

It is my habit to do some reading or watch a short show on my computer each morning while eating my breakfast. Lately I've been re-watching Daria. In my opinion one of the funniest and best TV shows I've ever seen. It is smart, funny, and the characters are wonderfully written -- even the relatively two dimensional ones. I particularly love the fact that the main character is not special; she doesn't have super powers, isn't chosen by some shadowy organisation, doesn't talk to supernatural entities, isn't super smart. Daria is more intelligent than most, but has very prominent failings. She appears to be a misanthopist, but hides a gentle optimism. The language doesn't stick to the common minimum vocabulary used in so many shows; wordplay and banter are part of the fun. It is a great way to start the day and kicks it off with a happy and balanced frame of mind.

My request: does anybody know of any similar shows out there?
