- Quotes
Ginger Foutley: I can't live under a stairwell my whole life.
Macie Lightfoot: Actually, with rationed can-goods and a space blanket, you might make it.
- Alternate versionsIn the first 10 episodes of the show, the theme song, is sang by Cree Summer, and then, the rest of the episodes have the theme song sang by Macy Gray. However, in the USA, in the episodes with the Cree Summer theme songs, the Cree Summer version of the song was slowly replaced by the Macy Gray version (with "Of Lice And Friends" the last episode to use the Cree Summer version before the theme songs were completely replaced). Outside the USA, Melissa Disney (the voice of Ginger) sings the theme song of the first 2 episodes, the Cree Summer version used some episodes after and before the Macy Gray version, and the Macy Gray version in episodes after that, without them being replaced.

Featured review
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
