- 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'm kinda sad this show didn't get as much attention as it should have. Not only was it very unique in that it wasn't like all the other Nicktoons, but it was also very endearing and down-to-earth. The comedy may not have been the highlight, but it was definitely on point. As Told By Ginger would definitely have been a classic if it had been given more attention, but then again, it will still be known critically as one of Nickelodeon's best works. It was Emmy- nominated THREE TIMES alongside shows such as Futurama, King of the Hill, The Simpsons, and South Park!! (That's how good this show was!) And as I've said before, the show was truly one of its own: an animated drama, something unheard of. It broke the boundaries of what usually would be able to go on kids' TV. And usually, I'm not too fond of drama series, but this show was definitely engaging in that it dealt very well with real-life problems. But one thing about the show that can be noted is that it completely did away with the "daily wardrobe" trope. Another problem, however, was that I was too young to remember anything from the show. I'm reviewing this from having re-watched episodes of the show recently. Still, As Told by Ginger will forever be known as Nickelodeon's most underrated cartoon.
