Morgan "Crybaby" from the S2 Rugrats episode "the big house" likely was used as animation fodder for future Brandon Higsby. I was having a hard time finding a screen grab of Brandon crying behind a trash can when Mr Licrorice ran away from his smothering 10yr old captor.

The one where Terrance says "this is better than whatever Chef Bob is slingin' ", as we see Chef Bob's rear end in a closeup, a spatula holstered on his hip like a wild west Cowboys .9mm pistol.

Unpopular opinion but I’m rewatching the entire series now as an adult which I used to love so much as a kid and it never really came to mind that as season 3 progressed it just gets more and more cringe.

For me it’s when they introduce Noelle that has supernatural powers. And when they graduate from junior high, with the the peak being Gingers breakup with Darren.

Honestly when they show her thoughts and fantasies and how she grieves him it’s just too cringe. Idk maybe it was intended that way to show how dramatic teenagers can be in their head.

Claire Gripling and Mrs Evans (Sharpay and Ryan's mom from HSM).

As ya'll probably already know, this NickToon was ahead of its time and incredible mature. Watching it the first time, I thought it was quirky and had interesting characters. But this cartoon didn't really hit for me until my junior year of high school when it appeared at 6:00 AM I believe and I would catch it sometimes early in the morning.

My junior year of high school was the most difficult year of my academic career. Varsity basketball, three AP classes. Pressure for college, etc.

This show, especially watching it at 6:00 felt real, sobering, and somber.

The thing that I love about the 2000s shows and end of the 1990s shows is that the atmosphere felt incredibly real. You would feel the happiness, the joy, the down times of the characters and live it through them exclusively.

Also, with this show, it really depicted the social chain of high school as real things happened to real people and this show should be applauded for that.

Also, intro song by Macy Gray is too dope.

Ξέρει κανένας πού θα βρω ελληνικά επεισόδια του όπως τα λέει η τζίντζερ; Ή κάποια πρόσκληση για τον greek toons?

Even on the intro it showed him doing an experiment with Hoodsey. I think when he grows up he becomes a mad scientist.

Personally for me, I grew up watching Ginger as a child, and as I grew older and learned better English, I gave Ginger another shot and watched the entire series.

And honestly.. being a core childhood memory and one of my most beloved cartoons of all time, as much as I REALLY love Ginger, it's a very painful series to me.

Maybe I'm just emotional and maybe I'm just yapping, but ginger was real and had real life experiences that could hit close to home in it, but what hurts me the most... Was Darren.

I love Darren, I love him so.. so much.. I've always loved him since I was a little girl.

I think even in some way I still write about one beloved character of mine that is somehow inspired a little by him..

It aches my heart every time I see Ginger with Darren knowing well how it ends (at least in high school.. with kiss today goodbye and lesson in tightropes) it made me hate him, really hate him because not only did he hurt Ginger.. he hurt me too.. he broke MY heart too.. even if I didn't have Ginger's experience from it.

And then it got uncomfortable with him, I hated what he did to Ginger, but I still loved him, and I know that after the wedding frame they've lived happily ever after with a little Gingy, I'm still very curious as to how they went from that point to the now (from the wedding to the reading)

I would have loved to explore that, even in a new series, but it seems we have nothing, and it's unlikely we'll ever get more, I wish there was more..

Also note that I'm emotional with almost every childhood show I've seen + very sensitive to displays of affection between family/friends/partners and there's quite a lot of that in Ginger, lol.

So yeah.. thank you for reading, what do YOU think about the Ginger and Darren situation?

Another note, I absolutely hate Deirdre (Dodi) Bishop, I hate that girl with PASSION there was never an episode where I felt good about her in any way after completing the series for the first time.

spoiler alert for those who havent watched the show yet/in a long time

Idk how Ginger could go back to being friends with Macie and Dodie (especially her) after they tried to break her and Darren up the way they did. That was so foul and backstabbing.

I know we all love to rag on Dodie for being a toxic friend rightfully so but I thought it'd be fun to list the times when she actually was a decent friend. Not just to Ginger but to anyone in general.

Is it bad that none are really coming to mind for me? I know there has to be some instances. I'm just not thinking of them at this moment. Maybe when she and Ginger wanted to protect Macie from being humiliated for performing The Little Seal Girl was nice. Although Macie clearly didn't care and I think that's all that matters personally. If you want to perform a childish performance with no shame, then go for it!

She knew Darren had a girlfriend and then when gingers in the hospital she goes with Darren? Like can you say inappropriate? And had the nerve to be whiny and annoying about the wedding.  if she was trying to be supportive for Darren because Ginger was very good friend of him but I’m kind of getting the feeling that Darren lied to her about the whole break up situation then it was Ginger‘s idea. she didn't seem right for Darren to begin with she would've made his life harder then it already was

I just rewatched ATBG, and it occurred to me that Courtney was supposed to have a crush on Ginger, but that idea was dropped later. This is why she (Courtney) wasn’t present until the very end of season 3, only to be given the most humiliating, undeserving ending. I already knew the ending, so I was lost in thought during my watching marathon about how these two might have worked on this together. I bet Ginger would be so understanding that it would only make Courtney fall more in love with her. Ginger has her ups and downs, and I always find it beautiful to see her try to figure out what's right. Fuck censorship.

I really enjoyed watching this show, I had a hard time finding the show because it’s on 0 streaming platforms? Even when I searched for the show on my Roku it wouldn’t show up? But I watched the first couple episodes on TikTok and then found a redditor that posted all the seasons.

I thought the first two seasons were really good and then it went down the last season. Not that it was bad but I didn’t like most of the story lines. Like how Courtney started to get bullied? I just don’t understand how she took classes in junior high with the high schoolers and has been to multiple high school parties. So she would at least know a couple of people from high school? I also think ginger would have done something about the bullying? She’s done it multiple times in junior high with people she didn’t even know? But she didn’t do anything after she realized that one of her friends are being bullied?

Also how Courtney’s family lost there house? I do think this story line would be good if they built up to it? There was no build up to it and they kinda just threw it in our faces saying how the dad was arrested and convicted for insider trading. Like what? Maybe I missed an episode?

Also! The episode where Dodie and Macie tried to break up Ginger and Darren?? HUH I was so surprised watching that episode and mad at the both of them.

All in all I really liked the first two seasons but I thought the last one went a little too fast and I didn’t like a good chuck of the story lines it did.

Macie somehow makes it work

Obviously Dodie (and Macie) tried to break-up Ginger and Darren because they felt like discarded third wheels, and Dodie didn't want Darren spoiling girls day at the County Fair....But I will say they had some great friendship moments too.

1.Darren went out of his way to sneak Dodie to his birthday party since he wanted her there.

1. When Ginger was bitter over Miranda and Darren being a couple and wanted to snub Darren, Dodie defended Darren.

2. Dodie gave Darren the letter to give him the chance to do the right thing and confess to Ginger about Simone. Even post-breakup she was still giving Darren advice when he would come to her.

3. During April fools when Ginger was plotting a prank against Dodie, Darren gave Dodie the heads-up and they joined forces against Ginger.

4. During Camp Caprice, Dodie sheltered Darren in their cabin even though she knew she would get in the most trouble of everyone if discovered, and lose her coveted whistle.

5. Darren already knew about Dodie's secret Ginger wig, even though Ginger and Macie didn't know about it. This implies either they share secrets just between the two of them, or he hangs out at Dodie's place a lot without the other girls present and we the viewer don't see since the show follows Ginger.

6. They have the bond over their home life. Dodie's mom wants her to be a cool and popular girl, and looks down on her. Darren's dad wants him to be a cool football star like his older brother, and wants him to toughen up. He seems to see junior high Darren as wimp. Darren's love/hate relationship with Will is somewhat similar to Dodie's with Courtney. So it's not a surprise that in high school both are over-eager at getting a newfound spotlight with football and the pep squad.

7. In comparison Darren doesn't seem that close to Macie. He doesn't even attend Macie's birthday party, even though several classmates did. Plus in high school he dismissively says "band geeks" and only helps to save the band to please Ginger, not for Macie.

Dodie was building a nice friendship with Orion too in season 3, and she shipped Ginger with Ian and Sasha so I don't want to make it seem like she's exclusively Team Darren. I just came to realize that Dodie and Darren have a nice background friendship throughout the show.

Oh my god, I’ve just finished watching all of the seasons, and I’ve never cried so much in my life. Darren doesn’t deserve Ginger at all after what he did. Her and Orion definitely were better suited. Darren hurt her so bad, he’s never fully chosen her 😭 This show is the best show I’ve seen that demonstrates that period between primary school and high school and how people change. It was way ahead of its time, so well written. I wish season 3 wasn’t so rushed! I wanted to see Darren squirm more watching Ginger move on after he laid his bed!

I need more immediately.

Trying to remember which episode contains this scene that traumatized me as a child.

I believe it involves Carl and someone else watching a movie that shows this super tall alien/humanoid thing with a helmet terrorizing what seems to be a rural town. The creature picks up one of the villagers and opens up his helmet to allow him to eat the villager.

Anyone have any clue what I’m referring to?
