What happens

As Told by Ginger, also known as As Told by Ginger Foutley, is an American animated preteen drama television series created by Emily Kapnek for Nickelodeon. It was produced by Klasky Csupo and Nickelodeon Animation Studio. Set in the fictional town of Sheltered Shrubs, the series revolves around the titular character, Ginger Foutley, a junior high school (later high school) girl and her friends as they try to become more than social geeks. As Told by Ginger premiered on Nickelodeon on October 25, 2000. Although the show ended production in 2004, some of its episodes were initially left unaired on U.S. television; the remaining episodes would premiere at varying intervals on Nickelodeon's affiliated services up until 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.
