===North America=== To the surprise of everyone, three fans received their long-awaited DVD sets on Wednesday, April 28, 2010; two of them having purchasing them from a pre-release website affiliated with MTV and Amazon.com. (The other fan was Kara Wild, who received them as a gift for her coordination with MTV as part of the [[DVDaria]] campaign.) The set was officially released on May 11 that year. Reaction was strongly positive, but negative reactions sounded for the missing music, package design, and discovery that "[[Is It College Yet?]]" was the shorter version from the original DVD release and not the original from the first broadcast of the film. The opening titles were cut from most of the episodes, excluding the first episode on each disc, meaning that the "Broadway" version of the opening theme commissioned for "[[Daria!]]" was cut. The missing music was the number one complaint, but thanks to various legal issues it could not be helped. MTV anticipated a negative fan response. [[Glenn Eichler]] wrote an introduction to the set making reference to the issue and poking fun at the fandom kicking off "a raging, decade-long debate over the collection's merits." He stated that "the cost of licensing the many music bites [they] used would have made it impossible to release the collection (and for many years did)." The DVD was later re-release within a tin box as the '''Collector's Set'''.
