As Told by Ginger (also known as As Told by Ginger Foutley)[4] is an American animated preteen drama television series, produced by Klasky Csupo (which also produced Rugrats), and aired on Nickelodeon.[5] The series focuses on a junior high school (later high school) girl named Ginger Foutley who, with her friends, tries to become more than a social geek.[6][7][8] The series first aired on Nickelodeon on October 25, 2000.

As Told by Ginger ended production in 2004, although some episodes were initially unaired on U.S. television; the remaining episodes would premiere at varying intervals on Nickelodeon-affiliated services through to 2021. It was nominated for three Primetime Emmy Awards for Outstanding Animated Program (for Programming Less Than One Hour). The series was praised and noted for having ongoing story arcs and characters who developed, aged, and changed their clothes throughout the show, a rare quality in an animated series at the time it came out.
