Gingers Welt

I love this show! I think its funny because its so ReAl! Ms. Foutly is a perfect example of a Jewish Motha (mother). I love the whole cast and plot. This has the best art of any cartoon i've ever seen! Also, watch Invader ZIM. fantastic shows!

granted, as a 31 year old male, i'm not exactly in the "target audience". but i've found myself watching a lot of Nick lately (Sponge Bob, Wild Thornberry's) and happened to catch this show.

i like it a lot. the premise might be a little old, but it's funny and there's usually a lot going on to keep you interested.

if i had kids, i'd let them watch this. and isn't that what it's really all about? somebody complained in another comment the show was "morals, morals, morals". why is that such a bad thing? if you can teach good morals in an entertaining way, what's the problem?

and to people who have a problem with the voice work: Tress MacNeille...look her up.

I remarked before about a thread on the Rocko's Modern Life boards, and being shocked about Avatar: The Last Airbender being on there, well this is another show that was on a lot of people's worst lists. To me, As Told By Ginger is not that bad, compared to ChalkZone and Rocket Power, the only animated shows on Nick I well and truly dislike. As a matter of fact, I love how clever and original it is, As Told By Ginger does make the most of a brilliant concept.

The animation is great in general and has a somewhat unique style to it. I agree it was occasionally off, particularly with the mouth movements, but it was solid on the whole. The music is nice to the ears, the writing is clever and funny and the stories are sweet and well constructed. And I like the characters in general, they seem like stereotypes at first, but they do have some depth to them, especially the title character Ginger who is very smart yet awkward, and I like Dodie and Marcie.

And Carl is funny too, especially when he gets into trouble. Miranda is rather spoiled, which can be seen as stereotypical because there are kids who behave like that, but she is still pretty likable, and Courtney is really nice when she's kind. And what's wrong with morals? Nothing, and As Told By Ginger does teach some good morals. You may say this show is clichéd, but it is also different, I like different by the way.

All in all, I like this show. 8/10 Bethany Cox

While this show cannot compare to classics such as Rocko's Modern life or Ren & Stimpy, it is one of the best Nicktoons made in a while. It is one of those shows that captures your interest yet you can't explain why. Sadly, the Kid's network I grew up with is not the same as it once was, and there is little that todays kids will get to enjoy like I grew up with. However, compared to mediocre Catdog and plain awful Wild Thornberries, it is spectacular. As Told By Ginger is a small shimmer of hope in Nickelodeons future, which over the years has faded to black. One of the few good modern Nicktoons, hopefully it will fare better than the greats did.

I discovered this show around the time I was in middle school. If you can get past the character designs, it's a terrific show. The dialogue is very authentic and raw, I love the episodic plot framework as it allows for strong character growth. The only issue with this show is how it can be a lit too realistic at times.

For example, Ginger has Dotie, a terrible example of a friend and also a gossip. I think the point of her being there was to show in childhood your friends were not always the best and as you matured and grew they changed once you realized how bad they were. Macie is okay, but she had her moments as well.

Very nostalgic early 2000s show with some amazing life lessons, with Lois being one of my favorite TV moms across the genre.

It's a very awkward and quirky show depicting growing up. Love it or hate it, you could say were in between.
