No uranium and a solid illustration-makeover.
In the series premiere of Daria, she mentions that her and her family had to move away from Highland due to there being Uranium in the water.
Highland is where Beavis & Butthead takes place, and Daria was actually a recurring character on the show.
Maude
When All in the Family has seven spinoffs, a few are gonna end up on a list.
Maude Findlay (Bea Arthur) first appears as Edith Bunker’s cousin in a 1971 episode of All in the Family.
In 1972, Maude got a show of her own, and the successful series dealt with some serious issues during its six seasons.

Norman Lear… Hit after hit.
Esther Rolle, who played Maude’s housekeeper Florida Evans, got a series of her own. Originally, Norman Lear was adamant that there should be no father in the picture, but Rolle refused to sign on unless the “James” character was included.
“I couldn’t compound the lie that Black fathers don’t care about their children.” Producers agreed and hired John Amos, who’d appeared occasionally on Maude as Florida’s husband.
The sitcom was a massive hit and will forever be known for Jimmie J.J. Walker’s signature phrase “Dy-no-mite!”
