As Told by Ginger
2000–2006NickelodeonAnimation
Middle school treated as continuing drama rather than a gag engine, which was unusual for the slot.
As Told by Ginger opens with a main title sequence of 69 seconds.
It arrived on Nickelodeon in 2000, when Dora the Explorer, Rugrats and All That were also on the network.
