I like this show...and I don't know why. Maybe it's because Ginger is a lot like me, she doesn't really belong to a group and is just average. That being said, "As Told By Ginger" is somewhat unrealistic. In almost every episode, Ginger and her friends try to do something to impress/get in with Courtney Gripling, the most popular girl in the school. Being in middle school myself, I know that most kids are not popular and don't want to be. But I digress. Some of them do, and I guess Ginger would be one of them.
The characters are annoying. Plain and simple. Ginger's the most normal one, so she's okay...but her friends, Dodie and Macie, are incredibly annoying. So is Ginger's mom. Her brother is okay, kind of a troublemaker, but that's all right. And while the show's view of middle school life is somewhat inaccurate and distorted, it's still a good show. Ginger is a pretty bad role model when you think about it...but it shows that nobody's perfect and that's a good message to send across. I give Nickelodeon thumbs up on this one.
