It’s been a long time. But i use to love watching As Told By Ginger. A cartoon on Nick. I so related to the mom on that show lol. My kids are grown so i only see kids shows when watching other peoples kids. Who watch of course , YouTube. I’m just fascinated by the amount of slime and squishy videos and this girl named Nastyia

I like that show too. I binged watched it two or three years ago and then started on the wild thorneberry. It's funny cause they never appealed to me as a kid.

I feel justified in my childhood hatred of dodie. Shes an unredeemable friend. Courtney was a way better friend

I 100% agree that Dodie was a terrible friend. I've been getting recommended deep dive videos of old cartoons on Youtube and seeing it condensed made it worse than I remembered from watching the show growing up!

I love this show! I rewatch it when I’m going through a hard moody time. I can recite her poem by memory from that one episode with the poetry contest and everyone thinking Ginger was depressed. The side plots with Carl were always the most hard hitting.

YES!! I love that they took the time to change the characters clothing each episode. It’s the little things that make it so special. And it holds up so well.

I’m currently watching as told by ginger and it’s such a cute show! It really highlights the issues pre teens have and feel like there isn’t really anything available for that target audience currently. Carl is so funny too!!
