WAIT... Remember As Told by Ginger?

[@JordanFringe94]

Thanks so much for watching! Were you a fan of As Told By Ginger? If so, what episode was your favorite? Let me know!

[@crusaderdalek3527]

The one where they try to rescue a cow

[@HuskyDog88]

I never watched the show, but the theme song slaps.

[@bootywarrior6845]

The series of episodes where they went to that weird ass camp

[@Argonight]

When Ginger had to go to the hospital and the soon to be step dad promised Carl he would help her.

[@randalthor6473]

I can’t say i remember my favorite, but definitely the most memorable for me was the lice episode 😂

[@clee027]

Dude I’m a 35 year old dad, and I rewatched this series this last year. The slice of life genre from our youth is just so… comforting.

[@william3253]

😂 im 39 yr old dad and did the same

[@clee027]

@ It’s one of those series that anyone can find something to love. For me, it just reminds me of being in middle school, the best years of my youth before everything kind of changed as I separated from my childhood friends and went to HS. This channel really hits the feels around the holidays.

[@philtkaswahl2124]

37 year old dad here, and same, man. Loved this series growing up.

[@thestraydog]

33 year old dad here, I've been thinking about introducing my 12 year old daughter to ATBG, she loves cool retro stuff, and this would be perfect to watch together!

[@SoranotRoxas]

33 here, not a dad, but loved the show when I was younger. Might watch it again someday 👍

[@RekoBrowner]

arguably the best slice of life cartoon ever when you look at it in every aspect. way ahead of its time 💯

[@FoolishOdyssey]

I just wanted her lil bro to be happy! with the sidekick girl

[@DDarkestKnight]

One of the greatest Nickelodeon shows. Wildly underrated!

[@GojosMiddleFinger]

It's was extremely popular when it came out

[@DDarkestKnight]

@GojosMiddleFinger And alot of people forget that. Trying to erase this top 10 show from history

[@GojosMiddleFinger]

@DDarkestKnight facts

[@IScreamedWolf]

I loved that show so much as a kid. It was like a soap opera for children lmao

[@Wyattinous]

Wait, you haven't covered ATBG yet? You've covered SO MANY shows I'm honestly amazed. Can't wait to watch this ❤

[@nthnglsn]

Maybe he does double features because I swear I've seen him cover this before

[@MarxistMomentum]

Your video came out just 3 hours after DuskTillShawn uploaded his part 2 video on As Told by Ginger. What a great Christmas gift!

[@clarenceandgennymcneil251]

He did?! I gotta check it out!

[@NoParkingBerry]

Holy crap, I didn't realize DuskTillShawn finally uploaded part 2 of his "ATBG" video essay! Today's an awesome day to be a "Ginger" fan! Or should I say, "LUCKY" day! Get it? 'Cause...the school...Ginger goes to...?

[@austin_bennett]

Early 2000s Nickelodeon had such a stacked program block of underrated gems, glad to see people talking about them more & more

[@trinaq]

I loved this show growing up, and identified strongly with Ginger, as I was also a shy middle schooler. I missed the subtlety that everyone thought that Ginger was depressed when reading her poem, which always stuck with me, thanks to the memorable visuals.

[@kath8949]

10/10 show so happy to see you covering it!

[@Vegadra]

I just hate that the show never did a true follow up of the betrayal of Dodie and Macie to Ginger and Darren. An episode that truly examined Ginger and Dodie friendship and how it may not be a good thing could have been interesting.

[@AutoArtemAuto]

I'll always stand on this hill: Courtney was Ginger's true best friend throughout this series. Dodie was so darn toxic, and sadly, she inherited that from her mother.

[@crusaderdalek3527]

I wish I could DM you in some way so I can personally thank you for bringing back so much good memories to me with this KZbin series

[@Markimark151]

I was just starting high school when this cartoon came out, like with Kim Possible, both these cartoons got me through high school. This type of show is what Nickelodeon needs, since older kids need to know about the coming of age stories!

[@teamsteed1]

Yes, I remember watching "As Told By Ginger." I think Courtney was a true friend to Ginger in her own unique way.

[@sweets_Cat88]

Especially in that 4 way connect phone Call. She definitely stood by ginger when Doddie and Macy were planing to sabotage her and Daren’s relationship.

[@tim_the_traveler]

honestly love it when a show takes a more grounded approach to story telling. Thou it was not my type of show as a kid, I can appreciate what the show sat out to do now with the relatability it has viewing it as an adult.

[@Yurinkin]

Yup

[@DDarkestKnight]

I still remember the internet urban legend that Courtney was supposed to have a crush on Ginger.😂

[@marioaustin9312]

If the show was made today, yeah I could see it

[@DDarkestKnight]

@marioaustin9312 You could see it back then too. Courtney looked high-key obsessed with Ginger and not just in the "ooh look at the poor people" way

[@nealgray2744]

Yea if the show wwre created today that would exactly be true

[@sweets_Cat88]

I didn’t know what to make of this show back when I was 11 But now as an adult. It very eye opening and you have those “ wait did that really happen in this show” moments

[@oddfuturewolfjoey]

Literally one of my favorite shows growing up!

[@walpoleandworcester]

Wow! First Dusktilshawn and now a video from you on As Told by Ginger! What a great day.

[@SageArdor]

Came here to say the same thing! Both great commentary channels!

[@fake.it.flowers]

thank you so much for doing this video. I’ve been patiently waiting for years lol! as told by ginger was so ahead of its time 😢❤

[@SoranotRoxas]

As someone who was born in New England and met people in towns like this. This show was pretty good at displaying a decent slice of life in places like this. Loved the show

[@WhimsicalLittledawg]

I feel like I've heard people talk about this show a lot. I guess people really wanted a video about it. AND HERE IT IS.

[@JustEpic_Yt]

I see as told by ginger I click. This show needs to be appreciated more. Wish I grew up with it (the character designs is a turn off at first ngl but you’ll get use to it)

[@clarenceandgennymcneil251]

Eh, I don’t like the art styles for OK KO and Big City Greens but that hasn’t stopped me from loving the stories!

[@SteveSkits]

Of course, I still know the whole entry song and everything

[@FoolishOdyssey]

it had me in the first episode! I was like "oh here we go with the old cliche, wait WHAT! that's not how it goes?! thats..REALISTIC!"

[@animeandanimals]

This show is one thats special to me. It helped me navigate alot of things happening around me and was kind of validating sometimes. Also Courtney despite living in her own little world was so freaking real sometimes

[@Jess-Rabbit]

The most prominent thing I remember about this show is the Little Seal Girl livin in the real world

[@A1KX100]

Someone once told me: "The grass is much greener, On the other side." 😭😭❤️

[@HellsFurby]

I still have the theme song in my head and it pops up from time to time I MISS IT SO MUCH and her seal friend ❤

[@Jor_toons]

Of course. It's legendary. Good times watching it all a couple years ago.

[@Youngbloodking21]

I just finished my second watch through of this show makes me laugh and cry every time plus it’s so much better than all grown up

[@NoshikiYT]

yes i remember i loved it it was underrated

[@redheadedviking9415]

I missed this show and I'm glad there are people like Jordan Fringe reminding me that these shows existed. I didn't understand As Told by Ginger (I was really young then) but it never deterred me from watching and appreciating the depth they went into day-to-day life. I'm going to rewatch the series now, thanks Jordan!

[@guillermosierracuellar9812]

I still forgot that ginger and all grown up aired at the same time and from the same creators it feels so digerent

[@txl17]

It's almost criminal that this show hasn't gotten a full Blu-ray release. This was a gem of a show and I knew that when I first watched it what seems like a millennia ago. Great job as always, Jordan.

[@Lula_Elena_Chapa_De_Silva]

Hav U watched "A better schedule for Nickelodeon's main block" by Evan Rosman? Numerous fanz of Nickelodeon are reacting to it.

[@am2382]

If this show came out today, it would be one of the most popular.

[@danteshollowedgrounds]

This was one of my mother's favorite shows.

[@amariaasad2833]

Amazing show!

[@guillermosierracuellar9812]

Ahead of its time

[@haruhihirano2633]

Yo this was my childhood

[@eeveefennecfox]

of course I remember as told by ginger,I even remember my mom turning the tv off when there was a commercial on when I was doing something so when I came back to watch,she was like you can't watch this show,which was already too late since I've already watched like all 3 seasons at that point XD

[@KittyChibiWaifu]

I can say I had the honor of growing up as a pre-teen watching this show. It actually helped me in a lot of aspects of my life and its very dear to my heart.

[@Bored_Barbarian]

Yes, I remember the sleepover trolling episode, it was sad :(

[@Jonnicom]

ATBG was one of those shows that I never was super excited to find airing when I was kid, but would watch and always really enjoy despite not realizing how much I actually liked it. It was kind a pre-preteens show. I now see it as the sort of stepping stone from enjoying things like Rugrats and to the more live action teeny dramas at the time. And the show holds up incredibly well. It is the first time I could recall a show tackling topics like depression and absent parents, both things that really impacted me and helped me feel a little less odd growing up.

[@ProfessorTakatoPalm]

While As Told By Ginger was not a show I liked, I will say I do admire it for going into subjects other Cartoons for kids didn’t go. Depression, Racism, Death, and even Divorce we’re all covered on this show. I honestly have to applaud As told by Ginger for taking Risk and I think almost all of them payed off

[@dancoroian1]

Omg I loved this show! That distinctive animation style still looks pretty cool IMO. And this is the first retrospective on it that I've seen so, thanks 😄

[@clarabellle]

I loved this show and the art style. It was just so comforting to tween me and very relatable.

[@danteshollowedgrounds]

Finally something I do remember, thank god.

[@robsalem685]

This is one of those rare shows for me that I still got the same feeling I had watching it as a kids when I rewatched it as an adult like Doug, Lloyd in Space, Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi, The Weekenders, Captain Simian & the Space Monkeys, Action League Now, Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo, and A Miss Mallard Mystery.

[@DuskTillShawn]

HUGE As Told By Ginger fan!!! :D I can't give this show enough praise.

[@m.h.1593]

Omigosh! I just had a sudden impulse to revisit this cartoon, and this post was just recently added? This was at the tail end of my youth, but I caught some of it. While Hey Arnold will always be my favourite, there is a bittersweetness and realism about this show that has always captured and intrigued me, and I wish I had been able to watch it more. I have a soft spot in my heart for it.

[@deandredukes95]

I just finished DuskTilShawn’s video talking about this 😂

[@philtkaswahl2124]

l liked how even one of the least realism-grounded character, Carl, had moments of insight and dealt with heavy things at times, like Maude's and his teacher's deaths. As well as his complex feelings about his dad.

[@robertlinke2666]

10:55 the fact he managed to make things right, and then she passed away is such good story telling saying that even if you do the right thing, not everything will work out the way you hope, but if you don't do the right thing, things will be far worse

[@tommyettinger1353]

very underrated series it was nearly ended perfectly as well except for the omission of Courtney at Gingers reading a missed opportunity to see her later in life it was obviously centered around her inner circle but a glaring omission as far as the show itself is concerned to how many episodes revolved around her

[@Lexi_Zone]

The way the show splits stories between Ginger and Carl almost reminds me of The Adventures of Pete & Pete a little bit.

[@clarenceandgennymcneil251]

I’ve only just started watching the show recently and I wish I knew about it growing up. Glad to see this amazing show is starting to get recognition.

[@daltonfitkin2536]

HELL YES!! I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU TO COVER THIS SHOW!!! My family still sings the Little Seal Girl song😂

[@Brownsuga777]

I use to watch it back in the day and to be honest, I never knew they actually ended ended it. So that whole thing at the end you did there surprised the hell out of me😂. Amd yes, I got chills from her book 😅. It's nice to know that it ended on a good note. I loved it 😊

[@zacharybartolo5111]

I remember when I was a kid I asked my parents for a dog house, not because I wanted a dog, but because I wanted to make a clubhouse similar to Carl and Hoodsie's clubhouse. I also remember I wanted an eye in a jar and thankfully I wasn't stupid enough to ask my parents for something like that.

[@moonkitten420]

I'd love to see you talk about Ruby Gloom!!

[@erikaumali]

Love As Told By Ginger!! And their series finale was ✨ PERFECT. ✨ Few shows can do that nowadays, cartoon or otherwise

[@natalieeuley1734]

As Told By Ginger was one of my absolute favorite shows and it was extremely relevant to me and my stage of life at the time it aired, too

[@tayloredwards4968]

I really like this show when I was a kid. I'm so mad we didn't get the final season on Nickelodeon

[@mechajay3358]

Well, someone once told me, the grass was much greener on the other side. This show was really one of the more unique ones to come at out Nickelodeon during its run. I didn't even get to see the series finale until years later

[@MrHiglon]

Never really vibed with the artstyle but even as a young lad I didn't mind watching. Courtney also was such a well handled character.

[@sparrowskeleton1831]

Yesss I love this show! I rewatch it now and again like Hey Arnold. As a girl, this show really helped prepare me for my tween and early teen years (especially that puberty episode.)

[@lainey6474]

I watch this show probably 5 times a year it’s so good.

[@DigiRangerScott]

I never let go of how the ending of the series was handled in terms of broadcast. The moment I got Paramount+ I knew I HAD to give it the full watch it deserved.

[@dtay8913]

Although i loved every other Klasky Csupo cartoon they developed, i could not get into this a child. Rugrats, ahh real monsters, rocket power, and even the wild thornberry's (aside from eliza) were all esthetically pleasing to me. I could not get past how hideous the character's are in this show. Much like Bob's burgers, people claim the show is good, but i physically can not watch it.

[@Sailor_alan]

As told by ginger was so well written. I remember the one where her poem touched upon depression. Beautiful show. In a different way it had something sort of pepperann about it.

[@Hwarming]

I think it's one of the best Nicktoons even if it wasn't really appreciated in its time. It has definitely aged amazingly well, it did a lot of things that medium just never did, like having the characters age progressively through the series and the different outfits in each episode, and the outfits reflecting their growth. I could do without the supernatural stuff with Maude and Noel though, I don't know, just makes the series feel less grounded when there's actual ghosts and telekinesis

[@randomthunk]

As someone named Ginger who has never met someone with my same name (several dogs, though), this show was such an odd thing to have come into my life as a kid. The best part is that it was actually a good show.

[@murderalphabetinc.5162]

I'll be honest, I didn't watch ATBG much as a kid because I wasn't much interested in the story, but as an adult I think it's a really good show, especially since she actually has different clothes from day to day. That's generally unheard of in cartoons.

[@TheFlashzap]

The only clips that have lodged in my brain crevices are -I’m a seal girl -Mr Licorice stealing money -Hoodsie crashing the slumber party and peeing the floor -One of the Mom’s going crazy from expired clams -Playing chicken in the pool and losing her top -And lastly the lice episode where the popular one gets lice

[@trevian1227]

Lois Foutley is THE best animated cartoon mother I have EVER seen.

[@1Lanavis1]

I didn't realize towards the latter seasons, Nick played a fool with the episodes airing. Explains why I don't recall an ending to the show. Honestly, I now want to do a rewatch but with the full series.

[@interrobangings]

I always thought she was an obscure friend from the Rocket Power group

[@TRCRPISO]

In mexico, the finale was promoted as a feature length movie and was transmitted on nickelodeon, no direct to dvd stuff involved

[@napoleonsolo5761]

Yes! I loved that show. 😂

[@brennan9785]

Never watched this show but always wanted to check it out. After watching this video think i will thanks Jordan.

[@mahailiabrown3972]

This is a show that is a staple part of my life I'm 32 years old and will never forget it

[@clarenceandgennymcneil251]

It’s hard finding kid cartoons with a shy, introverted lead. Supporting character, sure. But not usually the lead. I appreciate that.❤

[@AngelCopout]

I was a public TV antenna kid so I only ever saw this when at someone else's house and even then it was on at a weird time so it was super rare that I'd see this.

[@undefinedromance89]

I'm watching this video, thinking about how I should re-watch this show because I only remember seeing about half of it, only for you to reveal how Nick mistreated it towards the end... (surprise, surprise), and now it's no wonder I missed so much of the rest of the show.

[@thecowking24601]

This is the one I've been waiting for!!!!!

[@thetransavenger]

as told by ginger was , for me, something i needed but wouldnt realise how much it helped until a i ame out as trans, as a teenager it gave me a view into a world i wanted but could never have, it was special to have that and knowing what i now know, i am thankful for the help the show gave and the small bit of a look into a life i wanted but never new at the time

[@alexanderluna4598]

As told by ginger still has the best opening theme of any cartoon in nickelodeon history.

[@DropDeadDream]

Some one once told me the grass is much greener on the other side!!!!!! Macy gray!!! That intro song was elite

[@justinhillenburg9286]

This was a good show. The main problems that the show faced were an inconsistent airing schedule and, also, it was many of the victims of being caught in the undertow of the polarizing yellow sponge.

[@NathanSpelling]

I've lost count how many times I've rewatched ATBG and even remember the Copper Colored Ponies song D;

[@D415h4n34]

We had such awesome tv as kids. I was singing seal girl, 7 to 10 seconds b4 you brought it up😭

[@okami-chan9772]

The only time I only remember this show was the episode about head lice. Really freaked me out as a kid 😅

[@Tat2sByZrip]

I don’t remember much about this show, but I think about the episode where she is made fun of for not shaving her legs a lot. Her mom won’t let her but the episode ended by her shaving the lower half and showing it off with high water pants. Such a weird conclusion for kids. Basically find a loop hole to not get in trouble with your mom but also avoid appease the popular kids.

[@Ucanthavethecallsigncornflakes]

Youre scary, dude. Was thinking about this show the other day, and wondered wether you done a take on it. Thanks!

[@tenebrousoul9368]

Dusk 2 Shawn just dropped a banger on this. You guys should collaborate

[@PaktNisely]

I remember when my brother and i used to watch this together. I miss that a lot

[@lordkiza8838]

She was the reason I fell for red heads. 😂😂😂😂 Loved this show as a kid

[@joshberninger8355]

I have a lot of the Nicktoons series on dvd. This is the last one that I’ve really been wanting them to put out
