Online, on sites like YouTube and Reddit, many viewers are now calling Gunless an overlooked gem that deserves more recognition.

Similar to many hit shows from the early 2000s, As Told by Ginger also had TV movies released alongside its seasons, such as Summer of Camp Caprice and The Wedding Frame. While the show has continued to be shown in reruns, it’s been 21 years since the series finale and no new episodes have been created. After more than two decades, many fans feel As Told by Ginger deserves a revival.
It’s remarkable how some animated series can tell a complete and satisfying story in just a few episodes – often between 2 and 12. This is true for shows originally designed to be short, as well as those that were unfortunately canceled before they could finish their run.
