Top 10 Worst As Told By Ginger Episodes
As Told By Ginger may be one of Nickelodeon's most underappreciated cartoon series but even a series as great as this managed to make a few duds along the way, for this list we will be looking at the top 10 worst As Told By Ginger episodes of all time.
In my opinion the worst As Told By Ginger episode of all time, this episode is just infuriating as it sees Ginger starting a petition when the band program is being cut in order to pay for the football teams stain resistant uniforms as Darren wanting to keep the uniforms starts a campaign against Ginger as the two sides clash with Ginger calming she's trying to save the band but in reality is really doing this to stick it to Darren for breaking up with her a while back and even Darren acts like a complete douche bag, meanwhile with Carl and Hoodsey the two prepare for Middle School and vow to make a fresh start and no longer be trouble makers however this proves to be difficult because of his reputation as the Principle Milty hands out Carl's file to all his teachers and now none of them are giving Carl the benefit of the doubt which leads to him feeling the need to pull pranks and since vowing not to pull anymore pranks in middle school he and Hoodsey use a loophole to cause trouble ...more
I watched this episode online and yeah its really bad nearly every character in the episode including Ginger and Darren are unlikable a-holes.
Considered by many As Told By Ginger fans as the worst episode in the series the episode sees Ginger returning from Avalanche Arts Academy from the previous T.V. movie "Far From Home" where Darren confesses his love for Ginger and the two become an couple however both Dodi and Macie mostly Dodi is furious that Ginger is more preoccupied with Darren then with them despite the fact that they were okay with the two of them dating meanwhile both Miranda and Mipsy are also upset with this as Ginger now just ignores them and want her to go back to being their punching bag so Dodi and Maci conspire with Miranda and Mipsy into trying to break up Ginger and Darren, meanwhile with the Carl plot Noelle who the two also became a couple in the "Far From Home" movie ends up losing a bet with a girl Polly Shuster and now Carl has to spend a whole weekend with her later Blake Gripling spies on his play date with Polly as he's forced to play her weird bird game Polly World with her and takes pictures ...more
This episode is just frustrating to watch Ginger starts a big brother/ big sister program where instead of giving kids detention when they misbehave they are assigned an high school student to act as a role model for them, at the same time Carl gets into trouble following a not well thought out plan and convinces Mrs. Gordon to put him in Ginger's program and Ginger assigns him with a very strict military style student George who straightens out Carl and puts him in a constant state of misery and goes a step further by planning to sign him up for military school and demanding he destroy his own club house Carl tries to get Ginger to pull him out of the program but Ginger refuses and he even attempts to blackmail her meanwhile the students at her school take advantage of her program purposely getting in trouble so they'll get paired up with high school student for their own personal game and Ginger is too oblivious to see this, on one hand you do feel bad for Carl for being paired with ...more
Ginger, Macie and Dodi prepare for their annual trip to the county fair but at the last minute Ginger invites Darren to go with them and this of course ticks off Dodi as its breaking tradition even though in the past they have broken tradition before see "Come Back Little Seal Girl" who retaliates by inviting Courtney to go along with them and she even sticks it to Ginger giving her this smug look on her face as they getting in Courtney's limo, when they get to the fair things go really badly as Ginger insists on following tradition and doing everything she and her friends usually do and Darren is not interested in any of it and rather go on the rides and eat the food the two get into an argument and he leaves and rather then go after him she sticks with her friends then we get the Carl and Hoodsey plot which is another letdown as they attempt to free a two headed horse at the fair which turns out to be a fake no shocker, this episode is just a mess between Dodi acting incredibly ...more
As a follow up to the previous episode "Stuff'll Kill You" Ginger is force to serve Saturday detention for falling asleep in Ms. Zorski's II class on the same day of Darren's football game in which me wants her to be there to support him because she's his girlfriend, rather then tell Darren she can't go because she has detention she instead has Dodi pose as her so Darren will think she's there, and throughout this episode Ginger is treated very awfully by everyone when ever one of the other students cause trouble she's unfairly blamed for it and when she tries to defend herself the vice principle calls her out and all this because she fell in sleep in class after going though coffee withdraw and was punished for something she had no control of, Ginger later sneaks out of detention to try and catch Darren's game only for him to find out that she wasn't at his game and is really upset about it and of course she's busted and has to serve another Saturday detention, and then there's the ...more

Ginger falls in love with her quiz team teacher Mr. Gardner and Dodi convinces her that he likes her back and during the quiz competition Ginger embarrasses herself on live television by asking Mr. Gardner out leading for her school to lose the competition completely throwing out all her and her teammates hard work, meanwhile we get the Carl and Hoodsey plot which goes completely nowhere as they free the city's groundhog with Brandon Higsby's monkey Mr. Licorice seeing the whole thing and instead of him trying to bust them he ends up kidnapping Dr. Randall's dog Muffin for no reason and pretty much their plot line completely falls apart.

A follow up to the Camp Caprice episode that ends up disappointing, since that episode GInger has been crushing on Sasha one of the boys from Camp Caprice who hasn't written back to any of her letters or even contacted her and upon finding out that her school's band will be performing for a competition at Sasha's school she immediately joins the band playing the triangle, when the band arrive at the school she finally meets up with Sasha whose been avoiding her for some reason as it turns out the reason Sasha has not written back to Ginger is because he's back together with his old girlfriend who had left him previously for a popular student which makes him a complete hypocrite as in the Camp Caprice episode he got angry at Ginger because he assumed she was a wannabe who only interested in dating the more popular students, this of course crushes Ginger but surprisingly its Miranda who cheers her up in the end which results in Ginger becoming focused on the competition and her school ...more
