What is this show or episode about?

As Told By Ginger is about a middle school-aged girl with two friends named Dodie and Macie, who she shares the problems of life with. Besides dealing with trying to make friends with the popular Courtney Gripling, there are the subplots of Hoodsey and Carl. They are in the show a lot as well as Lois, Carl and Ginger's mom. The Foutley family live at 711 Forest Avenue, Sheltered Shrubs, CT 06930. They are one crazy family.  

How frequently do you watch this show?

I watch it every time I'm home, and try to tape it if I'm not 

Do you like the plots or stories of the show? What do you like or dislike about them?

I like all of the plots in the show, including the subplots, which gives it pep. The plots are sort of based on real life issues, like standing up for yourself, and dealing with popular cliques, and younger kid's problems, like Hoodsey's and Carl's. I really don't think there is anything wrong with the show. The movies are great too.  

Is there anything you would like to see happen in the story of the show right now?

Actually, they put the show off the air, and I ( and a lot of others) are unhappy about the whole situation. There are extra episodes of when Ginger goes into high school, but the network didn't put them on the air. They should show the episodes and keep doing the show! 

Who are the main actors and actresses on this program, or the people who star in it?

Ginger, Carl, Hoodsey, Lois, Dr. Dave, Maude, Ms. Gordon, Courtney, Miranda, Dodie, Macey, Blake, and Ginger and Carl's dad. 

How would you describe the acting?

This show doesn't have acting. 

Do you feel like you know the characters in the show personally, or that you can relate to the characters or people in it? Who is your favorite or least favorite?

I feel like I know Ginger, and she is my favorite character. Also, I relate to Ginger the most (and Carl), and my least favorite character is Mrs. Bishop, Hoodsey's mom, who is a non-funny kind of pest. 

What age group would most enjoy watching this show? Any ages who wouldn't like it or shouldn't watch it?

Ages 10-16 would like this show a lot, and ages 5-7 wouldn't, and 16-19 wouldn't. 

Do you know any interesting facts about the show, its actors or creators?

Ginger lives at 711 Shelterd Shrubs, CT 06930 Klasky Cuspo made it. Some movies of the series are: Camp Caprice, The Wedding Frame, Let Butterflys Go.  

What, if anything, would you change about the way show is written, staged, or produced? Do you like the way the characters talk, what they wear, what the set looks like, etc.?

I think that Mrs. Bishop should be different. I think Ginger should wear a little jewlery. I want the show back on the air. I think Courtney Gripling should be a little more popular and hang out with other people besides Miranda. The plots are good, but others stink. (rarely) Sometimes Hoodsey and Carl are in it too much. 

Do you have any other comments about yourself or the program that would give us a better understanding of your review?

The program is great!
