I'm the exact age of the star character Ginger, and started watching this show right when it aired. It was the perfect transition show to bridge the gap between childhood and the teen years/adulthood. It gave advice without being corny, and allowed space for mistakes and growth. It promoted the idea that no one is perfect, perfectly. I'm forever grateful for as told by ginger. It took me twenty years to watch the last episode, and it seemed fitting seeing ginger grown at the end, with a child of her own, as I am now grown, with a child of my own. Very full circle moment. Very full circle show. Much more true to what it's actually like growing up than most shows about teens. It's tough! It's super confusing. No one is perfect. And life moves quickly. Before you know it, it's a fun/unfun and distant memory.
