'''''[[As Told by Ginger''']]'' is a cartoon that focuses mainly on the life of junior-high-school student Ginger Foutley. She, along with her friends Darren Patterson, Dodie Bishop and Macie Lightfoot, all try to rise from the position of school geeks as they solve many conflicts that come their way. Luckily for Ginger, the most popular girl in school, Courtney Gripling, has taken a liking to her and often includes her in her social plans. She is intrigued by her (what Courtney calls them) 'gingerisms'. However, Miranda Killgallen, Courtney's right hand woman, makes sure that she is not bumped down from her position thanks to Ginger. At home, Ginger records her lively adventures in her diary. Her little brother Carl, is often scheming with Hoodsey Bishop in his own side plots; and her mother, Lois, is always there for advice, which Ginger is always open to listen to. The series takes place in the fictional town of Sheltered Shrubs, located in Connecticut. It ran for about 3 years from late 1999 to 2003.
 
It was among the few animated series in [[Nickelodeon]] that was ahead of its time, featuring (relatively) realistic situations and teenage issues which soon set a mark for the [[Degrassi|future]] [[South of Nowhere|titles]] to come in the [[Teen Nick]] time slot. The most notable among the show pointed out that it didn't follow the [[Limited Wardrobe]] trope compared to the other Nick titles. It is also one of the only shows, not just on Nickelodeon, but perhaps in all of children's entertainment, to portray interracial romance in a serious (and positive) light.

* [[A-Cup Angst]] - Courtney. Justified, as she is a young adolescent, but she is not pleased about her small size. {{spoiler|To the point where an episode's plot involves foiling a plan by two [[High School]] [[Alpha Bitch|Alpha Bitches]]es to expose her as a bra-stuffer.}}
** Macie has a more subdued version of the trope. In "The Easter Ham" when Dodie was ranting about how Darren's Birthday Party was one of "the most important BFF thing to happen since we got to buy training bras!" Macie then replied "Those were my darker days," and then left it at that.
** Averted with the other girls who seem comfortable with their bodies.
Line 19:
** Blake Gripling
** Dodie, for Ginger. She even has a "Ginger wig."
* [[Art Evolution]] - Contender for Most Triumphant Example—theExample--the show very carefully aged the characters as it progressed.
** Darren is arguably the best example in the show, slowly developing from a scrawny teen with head gear to a really in-shape young man due to him playing football in High School.
** Although still retaining the [[Klasky-Csupo]] look, the animation improved ''drastically'' from the pilot.
