SEASON 1 EPISODES

Season 1 began on Tuesday, October 24, along with Pelswick. After that, the show moved to its regular time slot, Wednesday nights at 8:00. On January 14, 2001, the show moved to Sunday nights as 7:30, most likely to get ready for the TeeNICK block.

Note that there were 20 episodes created for the first season, if you count "Summer of Camp Caprice" as three episodes, but only 16 were shown prior to the following October.  "Season" as used here refers to when an episode was made.

"Closing Tag" is the line used over the Nickelodeon logo at the end of the full closing credits (they don't use the tag with the different split-screen credits); unless otherwise noted, the "normal" closing theme is used.

Episode numbers refer to the production order, which is also the order they air outside of the USA.  (In the USA, the order in which the episodes first aired is listed if different from the production order - after that, Nickelodeon tends to repeat  the episodes in no particular sequence.)

Episode 1 - Ginger The Juvey

Written by Emily Kapnek
Directed by Sylvia Keulen
Storyboards by: Michael Daedalus Kenny, Darin McGowan, Pablo Solis
Closing tag: (Hoodsey) "It's Hoodsey, Blake - with an 'H'"

Cast: Ginger, Dodie, Macie, Darren, Courtney, Miranda, Carl, Hoodsey, Blake, Lois, Winston, Miranda's father

Additional Voices:

• Linda (hall monitor - credited as "Hall Monitor") - Olivia Hack
• Walker (kid wanting a curly hairdo) - Alex Dent
• Vince (boy who gives Darren a wedgie - credited as "Jock") - Warren Sroka
• Other police officer - (uncredited)

When Courtney invites Ginger to her "surprise" party, Miranda talks Ginger into getting a present that's not as much original as it is illegal; Blake plots to steal Carl's prized possession - a petrified detached eye.

• Carl's doghouse doesn't say "Monster" on it, like it usually does. (In "Summer of Camp Caprice", it is revealed that Carl really did have a dog named Monster at one time.)
• The boys' bathroom in Carl's school says "Courtney Is a Babe!".
• How does Courtney know the hall monitor on a first name basis?  Hall monitors aren't usually the kind of people you associate with popular kids.
• Blake has Carl's picture on his bedroom dresser.
• When Courtney bumps into Ginger in the school hallway, Courtney pretty much makes it clear that she knows all about her "surprise" party, so why didn't Ginger later just ask Courtney what sort of present to bring?
• At the end, Dodie says "the entire middle school is talking" about the arrest - but the school they attend is called a "junior high school" (although they are really the same thing - "the school between elementary school and high school").
• At the end, Ginger writes in her diary, "And since Carl's pictures proved it was Miranda who tipped off the police, Officer Killgallen had to lighten up on my sentence". Three small problems with that: one, photographs can prove Miranda was on the phone, but not who she was calling; two, so what if Miranda tipped her father off - how did they know she didn't happen to overhear Ginger discussing the plan with somebody; and three, since when does a police officer decide a criminal's sentence (even in juvenile court)?

Episode 2 - Carl And Maude

Written by Emily Kapnek
Directed by Cathy Malkasian
Storyboards by: Robert Goodin, Jason Park, Sean Pendegrass
Additional Storyboards: Pablo Solis, Alan Zegler
Closing tag: (Hoodsey) "If you ask me I think the whole thing's a little juvenile"

Cast: Ginger, Dodie, Macie, Darren, Courtney, Miranda, Carl, Hoodsey, Lois, Maude

Additional Voices:

• Receptionist - Tress MacNeille
• Man #1 (I assume it's the man playing chess) - Kenny Blank
• Mrs. Gumfrey - Laraine Newman
• Courtney's hold message - Adrienne Frantz
• Singer on Courtney's hold message - Shawana Kemp

Ginger, Dodie, and Macie have to serve community service at a retirement home, where Carl forms a bond with an elderly prankster whom he invites to dinner - the same night Courtney invited herself.

• If you ask me, this is one of very few roles done by Carol Kane which doesn't sound like Simka on Taxi (which sounds a lot like her real voice).
• There's a "senior ball" at the home (something you normally associate with high school Seniors), and the movie that night is "On Silver Pond".
• NOT AGAIN: "Is Grandma...napping?" The word is dead. Nickelodeon - the network where you can show people dropping dead, as long as you don't mention it by name.
• Did you know...Adrienne Frantz (the "Your call is important to Courtney" voice...by the way, she's also the singer Emica on Rugrats: All Growed Up) won a 2001 daytime Emmy award for "Younger Actress in a Drama Series" as Amber in The Bold and the Beautiful?

Episode 3 - Stealing First

Written by Emily Kapnek
Directed by Carol Millican
Storyboards by: Rudi Berden, Karen Ciraulo, Monika Tomova
Additional Storyboards: Gabi Payn, Joseph Scott
Closing tag: (Macie) "Uh, she's Potie, I'm Stacy"

Cast: Ginger, Dodie, Macie, Darren, Courtney, Miranda, Ian, Carl, Hoodsey, Lois, Joann, Mipsy, Terrence

Additional Voices:

• Rebecca (girl who says "hi" to Jean-Pierre at the ski lift) - Jeannie Elias
• Bus driver - Kenny Blank
• Jean-Pierre - Laraine Newman
• Cool kid (kid who got the snowball down his back?) - Kyle Brent Gibson
• Chairlift operator - Eric Jungmann

On a ski trip, Courtney bets Miranda that she can get an exchange student to get to first base with (i.e. kiss on the lips) Ginger; Carl sneaks along in an attempt to break the record for being stuck on a ski lift the longest.

• Keythe Farley becomes the "regular" voice director beginning with this episode. (Emily Kapnek and Charlie Adler were the voice directors for "Ginger the Juvey" and "Carl And Maude", respectively.)
• Adam Wylie received a credit as Ian Richton (he put the snowball down the "cool kid's" back), but he didn't appear to have any lines; considering the cut from Ian to the girls in the next scene was abrupt, it may have been cut for time without changing the credits.
• It appears that Ginger has a different homeroom/first period from Dodie and Macie in this episode; in later episodes, they all have the same homeroom.
• Jean-Pierre says Ginger has "a certain...I don't know how you say"; actually, he knows how we say it better than we do, as it's "a certain je ne sais quoi" (French for "I don't know what").
• "Superman had his faulty heel, no?" That's two references in one - Achilles had the vunerable heel (that's where the term "Achilles Heel" (something's one vunerable spot) comes from); Superman's problem was kryptonite.
• It never occurred to Carl that he would have to share his record with his sister, as well as everybody else on the lift.
• Originally, Miranda claims that she can get Jean-Pierre to go to first base with someone on the chairlift; it's only when Courtney nominates Ginger that Miranda switches to the "he won't" side (and, as it turns out, Miranda was right).
• Just before Ginger gets on the bus, Courtney is on the phone to her father; this is the only clue that Courtney's (and Blake's) father is alive in the first season.
• It looks like they're going home at night on the same day they arrived (certainly Lois and Carl wouldn't have stayed there overnight).  If so, why did they have all of that luggage?  (Okay, most of it was probably ski gear...)
• Somebody asked how Darren managed to get on the bus home if he didn't have a permission slip (which he wouldn't have, as he wasn't there as part of the trip). Here's one theory: when Ginger ran into him, he had to be taken to some treatment center, where they would have called his parents, who probably gave their permission (okay, it's "over the phone", but there weren't many alternatives), especially as there's no way he (with his cast), Carl, and Hoodsey would have fit into Lois's car.

Episode 4 - Sleep On It

Story by Emily Kapnek and Evan M. Katz and Kate Boutilier
Teleplay by Evan M. Katz and Kate Boutilier
Directed by Frank Marino
Storyboards by: Wendi Grieb, Gabi Payn, Joseph Scott
Assistant Storyboard Artist: Alan Zegler
Closing tag: (Dodie) "Here, Carl - here, boy! (kiss kiss kiss kiss) [this is actually from "Carl And Maude"]

Cast: Ginger, Dodie, Macie, Courtney, Miranda, Carl, Hoodsey, Blake, Lois, Mrs. Gripling, Joann, Mipsy, Traci, Heather, Lonnie

Additional Voices:

• Book club members - Liz Georges, Jackie Harris, Laraine Newman, Candi Milo
• Computer voice - Adrienne Frantz

When Courtney hears Ginger talk to her friends about their weekly slumber party, she decides she wants to hold one, despite having absolutely no clue as to how to actually throw a party; Blake invites Carl over, but he can't go, so he sends Hoodsey instead - in order to get his detached eye back

• Note there is a distinction between "and" and "&" in writing credits; "&" means they pretty much worked together equally, whereas "and" means that either they worked separately or one was involved more than the other (at least that's the way I understand the Writers Guild of America explanation at their website).
• This episode takes place after "Carl And Maude", as Carl gives Hoodsey "Maude's hearing aid" to communicate with him while Hoodsey is at Blake's.
• Now we know how Hoodsey got his nickname; hanging up on the wall in his room are four of those hooded coats he always wears.
• As far as I know, making someone wet themselves by putting their hand in water while they're asleep is an urban legend.
  Actually, the Urban Legends FAQ says that it has (supposedly) affected some people but not others.
• Notice something strange about these two pictures?

In the one on the left (just before Courtney arrives at Ginger's door), Ginger has two left feet.  In the one on the right (when Ginger is talking to Dodie on the phone discussing whether or not to go), now she has two right feet. Not only that, but in the second picture, every time Ginger moves her left leg back down, it becomes her left foot again.

Episode 5 - Of Lice And Friends

Story by by Emily Kapnek and Sheila M. Anthony
Teleplay by Sheila M. Anthony
Directed by Ron Noble
Storyboards by: Jennifer Coyle, Max Martinez, Darin McGowan
Closing tag: (Carl) "You can watch flies for free at the city dump" (Hoodsey) "And we've done it, too"

Cast: Ginger, Dodie, Macie, Darren, Courtney, Miranda, Carl, Hoodsey, Blake, Lois, Ms. Zorski, Mipsy, Traci, Chet, Principal Milty

Additional Voices:

• Linda (credited as "Hall Monitor") - Hope Levy
• Mrs. Fleming (I assume she's the school secretary) - Rita Rudner
• Mr. Pringle (the janitor) - Greg Lewis

New announcement reader Dodie turns the morning reports into a gossip column, which is not good news for Courtney when Dodie finds her name on the list of students with lice.

• Carl and Hoodsey attend Lucky Elementary School - not a particularly surprising name, when you consider it's pretty much right next to Lucky Junior High School (as seen in "Dare I, Darren?").
• In "Stealing First", Ginger is in a different homeroom from Dodie and Macie, but in this episode, they're in the same one (along with Darren, Courtney, Miranda, and Mipsy) - but this might be explained by a homeroom change between semesters, as there was a running line about a math final.
• The lice list: Steven Applebaum, Joannie Asper, Patricia Bucci, Reggie Cameron, David Entwhite, Leon Griffin, Courtney Gripling. Note that three of them (Steven, Leon, and Courtney) are in the same homeroom.
• If the lice report said that Courtney needed to be kept away from other students, wouldn't it be a matter of time before somebody found out anyway? (Especially as Dodie said there were ten names on the list but only read six?)
• When Ginger left the office after stopping the announcement, Dodie still had the microphone in her hand; why didn't she just pick up where she left off?
• For that matter, how come none of the adults in the office tried to stop Dodie from revealing what was obviously confidential information?
• Macie's bedroom has a first-aid cabinet in it - and, from the looks of it, she sleeps in a "sunken" kidney-shaped bed.
• "How do you know the hall monitor's name?"  It's mentioned in "Ginger the Juvey".
• I thought Miranda had a crush on Ian...so who's "ninth grade Ben" that warrants her calling him during P.E.?

Episode 6 - Dare I, Darren?

Written by Emily Kapnek
Directed by Dean Criswell
Storyboards by: Wendy Grieb, Michael Daedalus Kenny, Pablo Solis, Alan Zegler
Additional Storyboards: Robert Goodin, Jason Park
Closing tag: (Hoodsey) "I really can't see how a boy his size could possibly eat all that ice cream"

Cast: Ginger, Dodie, Macie, Darren, Courtney, Miranda, Carl, Hoodsey, Blake, Lois, Winston, Ian, Mrs. Gordon, Will, Mipsy, Brandon, Terrence, Mr. Cilia

Additional Voices:

• Film narrator - Terri Apple
• Harley James ("the vampire thrasher") - Craig Strong
• Vampire woman (in movie) - Jackie Harris
• Popcorn server - Tress MacNeille

When Miranda sees Darren passing a note to Ginger in class and tells her that "you and your boyfriend make a cute couple" (mainly to keep Ginger away from Ian Richton, so she can have him for herself), Ginger takes a trip to the movies with Darren a little too seriously - especially when she ends up sitting between Darren and Ian (who's sitting next to Miranda); Carl tries to borrow Blake's new telescope so he can win a bet with Brandon

• That's one tough teacher Carl has; the homework assignment is "pages 50 to 100".
• Mrs. Gordon calls Hoodsey "Hoodsey" (as opposed to "Robert").
• Blake doesn't attend private school? Then again, Courtney doesn't...

Episode 7 - Hello Stranger
Nominated for a 2001 Emmy Award (Outstanding Animated Program (Less Than One Hour))

Written by Emily Kapnek
Directed by Mark Risley
Storyboards by: Robert Goodin, Jason Park, Sean Pendegrass
Additional Storyboards: Jeffrey Hua, Michael Daedalus Kenny
Closing tag: [acoustic guitar ending] (crickets chirping)

Cast: Ginger, Dodie, Macie, Darren, Courtney, Carl, Hoodsey, Lois, Jonas (Ginger's father, on the phone), Mrs. Gordon, Ms. Zorski, Joann, Darren's father, Darren's mother, Brandon, Stuart's monkey, Dr. Dave

Additional Voices:

• Man delivering flowers - Billy Brown
• Student (the one who says "he's turning into a monkey"?) - Kenny Blank
• Librarian - Laraine Newman
• Snake (in Lois's dream) - Dee Bradley Baker
• Nurse - Mo Collins
• Florist - Susan Krebs
• Radio DJ - (uncredited)

Ginger wants her father, whom she hasn't seen in a while, to see her read a poem at a school show; when Carl is bitten by a monkey, he starts acting like one; Lois drinks a pitcher of "dehydrated sea snake mix"

• Most Nicktoons are set in "Anywhere, USA", probably so kids from throughout the country can associate with it, but Ginger has a specific address: 711 Forest Avenue, Sheltered Shrubs, CT (Connecticut) 06930
• Her father apparently lives quite close by (unless he rents a post office box): P.O. Box 123, Brittle Branches, CT, and the ZIP code is also 06930. (This isn't necessarily a goof; I grew up somewhere where two communities share the same ZIP code.)
• Ginger is mentioned as being in seventh grade - and as she receives a graduation card from her father, presumably it refers to "graduating from elementary school" and seventh grade is the lowest grade at Lucky Junior High School. (See "Come Back Little Seal Girl" for more evidence that this is the case.)
• Unlike most episodes, there's no real interaction between Ginger and the "populars", although Courtney does make a comment to Ginger just before Ginger goes on, and Miranda, Lonnie, and Mipsy are in the front row in the audience. (You can also see Heather in the front row after Ginger is finished.)
• How does Ginger know her father looks like her? Ginger looks like her mother - her father can look like anything (including Carl). (Presumably, Lois still had a picture of Jonas that she showed her, although Lois had no idea Ginger had invited Jonas to the art fair.)
• What do phone numbers beginning with 555 and ZIP code 06930 have in common? They don't really exist. (Most phone numbers on TV and in the movies begin with 555 as, except for toll-free (800, for example) and possibly 900 numbers, no phone numbers are supposed to begin with 555 so nobody will hear a number somewhere and try to call it to see what happens.) Actually, ZIP codes beginning with 069 are all in Stamford, CT (which is where the World Wrestling Federation is based - coincidentally, the WWF recently made a deal with Viacom, which owns Nickelodeon, but the episode would have to have been written months before the deal went through), but they stop at 06928 - at least for the moment.
• In "Dare I, Darren?", Blake is in Carl's class, but in this episode, all of the desks appear to be occupied and Blake isn't there.
• Carl has monkeynucleosis? (A Hey Arnold! joke...)
• Using specific dates is not usually a smart idea - the first sign says the Fall Arts Festival is on "Friday, November 14", but that limits it to every five or six years.

Poem - Hello Stranger

Hello, stranger - you came just in time
I look for your face in a crowd, or in line
Hello, stranger - not a moment too soon
See, that old picture's fading in the drawer of my room
Now toys have gone lost, baby teeth have come loose
There were accidents involving stitches, spilt juice
Report cards were shown, and one time I got sick
But it's nothing I couldn't catch you up on real quick
Hello, stranger - I saved you a place
And it hardly seems strange now that I've seen your face

Episode 8 - Cry Wolf

Story by Emily Kapnek and Alice Miller
Teleplay by Alice Miller
Directed by Carol Millican
Storyboards by: Rudi Berden, Karen Ciraulo, Monika Tomova
Assistant Storyboard Artist: Gabi Payn
Closing tag: (Hoodsey) "What about my power? (growl)"

Cast: Ginger, Dodie, Macie, Darren, Courtney, Miranda, Carl, Hoodsey, Lois, Mrs. Gordon, Ms. Zorski, Joann, Brandon, Stuart's monkey, Principal Milty

Additional Voices:

• Gregg "with 3 Gs" - Laraine Newman
• Stuart Higsby (the boy selling the reports) - Chris Marquette
• Mr. Libby (the teacher who lost his toupee) - Bernie Kopell
• Bathroom chef - Andrew Lawrence

When Miranda convinces Dodie that Courtney is Ginger's new best friend, Dodie reveals Ginger's secret that her mom won't let her shave her legs, and Miranda uses it to blackmail Ginger; Carl, with a little help from a teacher's toupee, transforms into a "wolf boy"

• This is the first time in something like 30 years I've seen a TV show where the fire alarm sounds like a horn and not like a bell. (I've always found that strange, as at every school I went to, including college, the fire alarm was never a bell.)
• Hoodsey is seen quite a bit without his hooded coat.
• One of Ginger's secrets is her love of smiley-face pajamas - but if she loves them so much, why doesn't she ever wear them?
• If we use Carl's reasoning, Lois never said that Carl couldn't shave Ginger's legs, so why didn't the girls have him do it - or, for that matter, Dodie do it with Carl's electric razor?
• Okay, I'll ask: how does Ginger get away with not revealing her legs in P.E.? (We know she's in a P.E. class; she's in the girls' locker room in "Of Lice And Friends".)

Episode 9 - The Right Stuff

Story by Sarah Jane Cunningham and Eryk Casemiro
Teleplay by Eryk Casemiro
Directed by Frank Marino
Storyboards by: Gabi Payn, Joseph Scott, Alan Zegler
Closing tag: (Miranda) "Ewww - it's Foutley"

Cast: Ginger, Dodie, Macie, Darren, Courtney, Miranda, Carl, Hoodsey, Blake, Mrs. Gordon, Will, Brandon

Additional Voices:

• Chantel - Kimberly Brooks
• Andrea - Jamie Maria Cronin
• Mrs. Berger (the French teacher - pronouced "bur-ZHAY") - Suzanne Kent
• (High School) Principal Erickson - Michael Beattie
• Lifeguard - Danny Cooksey
• Kid #1 (the one who asked Macie about a diving board) - Kenny Blank
• Kid #2 (the one next to kid #1) - Eric Von Detten

When Courtney and Macie are enrolled in a high school French class, Macie somehow ends up hosting a pool party, where a couple of older girls jealous about how Courtney looks at Will Patterson plan to reveal (literally) that Courtney stuffs her bikini top; Carl and Hoodsey try to obtain some of Albert Einstein's DNA for a fourth-grade science fair

• There's a high school right next to Lucky Junior High - and, of course, it's called Lucky High School.
• Ginger needs to watch herself at pool parties - she almost exposed one of her legs in front of everybody. (See "Cry Wolf" to see why this is a bad idea.)
• How did Carl compare everybody's DNA to Albert Einstein's if they couldn't get any of Einstein's DNA in the first place?
• Looks like the Griplings are getting better with names; Courtney says "Dodie" and "Macie" (as opposed to, say, "Potie" and "Stacy"), and Blake says "Hoodsey" (instead of "Woodsey").
• "Courtney can't lose her bikini top if it's attached to the bottom" - apparently Courtney isn't the only one who prefers two-piece outfits; the only girl wearing a one-piece at the party is Macie.
• The sign at the science fair (at the end, when Brandon's exhibit explodes) says it's the 2000 science fair; it's quite rare for years to appear in any cartoon, as it tends to "date" them - if, three years later, a sign says "2003", how do you explain that everybody is the same age they were three years before? (And never mind that the same sign said "Lucky Jr. High" for an elementary school science fair.)
• Speaking of Science Fair, Carl may act like he knows something about science, but his spelling leaves much to be desired; one of the signs on his exhibit says "GENIOUS".
• Courtney asks Chantel and Andrea, "Who retired and made you crossing guards?"; I've always heard things like this said as "who died and made you (fill in some job title here)". Nickelodeon - the network where you can't say "died", but you can show girls getting their bikini tops removed.
• Speaking of Andrea and Chantel, those are the names (well, "Chantal", but it's pronounced the same way) of the first and third North Atlantic tropical storms/hurricanes (I think they're called typhoons in Asia and Australia) in 2007 (and every six years after that until one of them does enough damage to associate the name with that year's storm, after which a new name is used - for example, Allison would have been the first storm in 2007 had it not done enough damage in 2001 to warrant retiring the name.)

Episode 10 - Kiss And Make-up

Written by Emily Kapnek and David Regal
(actually, the Story By credit read this way, and the Teleplay By credit had the names reversed)
Directed by Ron Noble
Storyboards by: Jennifer Coyle, Max Martinez, Darin McGowan
Closing tag: (Macie) "We were hot - so hot!"

Cast: Ginger, Dodie, Macie, Darren, Courtney, Miranda, Carl, Hoodsey, Blake, Lois, Winston, Mrs. Gordon, Ms. Zorski, Mrs. Gripling, Chet, Principal Milty, Dwayne

Additional Voices:

• Clerk at store - Laraine Newman
• Photographer - John Kassir

When Ginger's mother forbids Ginger from wearing makeup to school picture day, the girls decide to create "fake-up"; Carl's ride with the trash collector results in an unexpected prize - Blake's baby blanket

• Presumably, this episode is supposed to take place before "Of Lice And Friends", as Chet is the announcement person (rather than Dodie).
• Ginger's mother said Ginger couldn't wear makeup - but did Dodie's or Macie's parents say anything to them?
• Don't try this at home: Darren is riding a bike before sunrise without a light, which is (a) illegal and (b) quite dangerous if you're out on the street.
• Doesn't painting your nails count as makeup?
• You would think there would be more kids in "Protected Pines" - maybe the Griplings are the only ones whose kids attend public school?

Episode 11 - The 'A' Ticket

Story by Emily Kapnek and Sheila M. Anthony
Teleplay by Sheila M. Anthony
Directed by Dean Criswell
Storyboards by: Michael Daedalus Kenny, Kyle Menke, Pablo Solis
Additional Storyboards: Alejandro Almaguer, Robert Goodin
Closing tag: (Brandon) "Why can't you be a normal good boy, like me?"

Cast: Ginger, Dodie, Macie, Darren, Courtney, Miranda, Carl, Hoodsey, Ian, Brandon, Mr. Cilia, Mr. Hepper

Additional Voices:

• Soccer buddy (boy Ian was talking to) - Anthony Jesse Cruz
• Ludlow Krantz, moose - Kerrigan Mahan

Ginger and Ian are made lab partners in chemistry class, but when Ian seems interested in Ginger, is he interested in her as a person or her as a way to keep a "B" average and his spot on the soccer team?; Carl, Hoodsey, and Brandon audition for a glockenspiel solo in front of the town eccentric

• A "B" average is hard enough for most students to maintain; if you add the time required for sports practice as well, most teams wouldn't have enough players to compete. (Most schools require a "C" average.)
  See the "questions" page for an explanation of how "letter grades" work in the USA.
• Speaking of "A Ticket", it could also be a reference to the days before Disneyland and Walt Disney World switched to "unlimited free rides with admission"; "in my day", each ride required a separate ticket, from "A" for the cheapest (for example, the Main Street Trolley) to "E" for the most expensive (for example, Space Mountain). Needless to say, the E Ticket rides were the ones everybody wanted to ride.
• Hoodsey said "we killed him"; normally Nickelodeon doesn't like its shows using words like "dead" and "killed" (see "Carl and Maude"), although as As Told By Ginger is targeted for a slightly more mature audience, they may be a little more lenient.
• Macie is wearing her usual glasses instead of goggles, which isn't a particularly smart thing to do (especially if they're made of glass); even the kind Courtney and Ginger are wearing aren't particularly safe, as liquids (for example, acid) can get in through the sides quite easily. (That's why the ones Ginger wears to begin with are more of a "mask around her eyes".)
• When this episode was first shown, a note appeared that said Melissa Disney (Ginger's voice) is related to Walt (according to "The (Michael) Starr Report" in the New York Post, they're "distant cousins", although I've received some E-mail questioning this) - which struck me as ironic, as in the Disney TV-movie Zenon, Girl of the 21st Century, one of the things they mentioned was that in science classes on Earth, they still use Farenheit temperatures (by the way, Ginger is right and Zenon is wrong on that one - every science class I've ever been in (going back to 1975) used strictly metric measurements; using a single measuring system is meant to prevent problems like the 1999 Mars Climate Orbiter mission, which resulted in the orbiter missing Mars because the designers thought they would be using feet and pounds instead of meters and kilograms).
• Lois received a credit at the end of the show, but she wasn't in the episode. (See the note about Ian in "Stealing First" for a possible explanation.)

Episode 12 - Come Back Little Seal Girl

Written by Emily Kapnek and Sarah Jane Cunningham & Suzie Villandry
(actually, the Story By credit read this way, and the Teleplay By credit had Emily's name at the end)
Directed by Carol Millican
Storyboards by: Robert Goodin, Jason Park, Sean Pendegrass
Additional Storyboards: Alejandro Almaguer, Jeffrey Hua
Closing tag: [Courtney and Seal Girl themes] (Macie) "Seal Girl lives on!"

Cast: Ginger, Dodie, Macie, Courtney, Miranda, Carl, Hoodsey, Lois, Mrs. Gordon, Chet, Mipsy, Lonnie, Principal Milty (he introduced Chet at the start of the talent show); Ms. Zorski was also credited, but I didn't notice her voice

Additional Voices:

• Audience members (the ones talking about Macie's act) - Laraine Newman, Jeannie Elias
• Nervous Kid (?) - Hope Levy
• Kid who tells Mrs. Gordon that she parked in the principal's spot (credited as "Teacher's Pet") - LaTonya Holmes
• Singer (of the "Courtney" and "Seal Girl" songs) - Shannon Conley

When Ginger and Dodie feel that a talent show act based on "The Little Seal Girl" is a little juvenile, Macie decides to do a solo; Carl comes face-to-palm with a mummufied hand of Mrs. Gordon's that supposedly has a curse

• See "Sleep On It" for the difference between "and" and "&" in writing credits.
• Like pretty much everything else, the auditorium is named "Lucky Auditorium"; it's possible that it's shared by all three of the schools.
• Ginger, Dodie, and Macie have been friends since kindergarten, as they've been "eyeing the trophy" since then - of course, that would have been for an elementary school talent show.
• Dodie says this is their first junior high school performance, which must mean the school begins with seventh grade.
• See what happens when you say "dead" on the show? Carl said it (referring to the hand), and he didn't get any dessert.
• Okay, I'll ask: where did the music come from when Macie finished the song?  (Even if the tape would have been fixed, there would have been the original singer's voice on it.)

Lyrics to "The Little Seal Girl" theme

Most folks think that I'm not real
'Cause I'm half girl and I'm half seal
I'm a little seal girl livin' in the real world
And it's so hard to get by
'Cause seals can't even cry
But in this endless, boundless sea
Is there no one who looks like me
I know I must stay chipper;
One day I'll find a friend to hold my flipper
'Cause I'm a little seal girl livin' in the real world
And it's so hard to get by
'Cause seals can't even cry
 

Episode 13 - I Spy A Witch
First aired 17th (as part of the second season) in the USA

Written by Eryk Casemiro
Directed by Frank Marino
Storyboards by: Rudi Berden, Karen Ciraulo, Alan Zegler
Additional Storyboards: Jeffrey Hua, Joseph Scott, Monika Tomova
Closing tag: Miranda laughing maniacally (from her audition)

Cast: Ginger, Dodie, Macie, Miranda, Mipsy, Chet, Carl, Hoodsey, Blake, Lois, Ms. Zorski, Principal Milty, Winston, Maude (note that Darren, although mentioned by name, never spoke)

Additional Voices:

• Lizzie Laypoff - R. Samantha Lee
  (the character's last name may not be spelled correctly - only the first name was credited)
• Girl with the purple-rim round-lens glasses - Hope Levy

• Girl with the glasses that look like Macie's - Tia Texada
  (note the previous two credits may be backwards)

• Piano player - Matt Farnsworth

Ginger is cast in the lead of the Halloween musical, "I Spy A Witch" (a musical version of The Crucible), until she's falsely accused herself of making a witch - to be more precise, turning the Lucky statue into a witch; Carl tries to conjure up the ghost of Maude

• One of the songs in the musical was "Salem Barbecue" - but the only time "Burn Witches!" was ever heard in Salem was centuries later, whenever Monty Python and the Holy Grail was being shown somewhere.  The penalty for witchcraft in Salem was death by hanging; one person was killed by being pressed between giant stones, but that was because when he was accused, he refused to plead either innocent or guilty, and the law required him to be pressed under a stone until he either entered a plea or died.  (The confusion between burning and hanging may come from the fact that witchcraft was punished with burning in quite a bit of Europe.)

• We learn two things in this episode: the name of the person on the statue in front of the school (Nathaniel "Lucky" Winslow - see the Questions page for one theory on why he's "lucky"), and Maude's last name (Webley).

• If Courtney and her mother are in France, why didn't they take Blake?

• Why didn't Ms. Zorski "borrow" Darren or Chet for the male roles?

• They knew when the statue was defaced; certainly Lois could have accounted for Ginger's whereabouts throughout that night.

• It never occurred to anybody that they could have checked the stuff in Ginger's bag for fingerprints.  It also never occurred to Miranda that she could have said that Ginger took the photo (after all, Ginger had the stuff in her bag).

• You could see through Maude (and her clothes) when she left Hoodsey's body, but you shouldn't have been able to see through the "real" photograph she was carrying.

• Speaking of Maude the ghost, since she was a ghost, she shouldn't have been able to carry the photograph or ring the doorbell.  (If she did have a "physical presence", then she shouldn't have been able to get into and out of Hoodsey's body in the first place.)

• Had Ginger not arrived when she did, who was supposed to read "Villager #3's" lines?

• Notice Dodie's parents in the audience (in the front row, no less) - with Dodie in the show and Hoodsey with Carl, that's one way out of having to give out candy on Halloween!

• Speaking of the audience, someone told me that Fred from "Foutleys On Ice" ("Far From Home") is in the audience as well.  See the "Foutleys On Ice" entry on the Season 3 page to see why this doesn't sound right.

Lyrics to "Salem Barbecue"

There's no way we'll ever believe you
This girl's asleep, so tell us, what did you do?
She's a witch, you can't deny
So on the pyre ye shall fry
At our good old-fashioned Salem barbecue!
There's no way we'll ever believe you
See the truth in all of her boo-hoo
She's a witch - just watch her fly!
Escape?  Don't you even try!
You're our guest at our Salem barbecue!
There's no way we'll ever believe you
There must be something more that I can do
Prove to us you're not a witch
Too late - I've already snitched
I'll baste her at our Salem barbecue!

Lyrics to "I Spy A Witch"

In Salem town, there was a glitch
When someone thought they saw a witch
And rumor started to arrive
But what was fact were all denied
In Salem town
I spy...a witch!  A Witch!
I spy...a wicked witch!
I spy...a witch!

Episode 14 - Blizzard Conditions
First aired 13th in the USA

Written by Eryk Casemiro
Directed by Ron Noble
Storyboards by: Rudi Berden, Robert Goodin, Jeffrey Hua
Additional Storyboards: Tron Mai
Closing tag: (Carl) "It is so totally  your fault!"  (Hoodsey) "Hey, you're not the boss of me ever!"  (Carl) "Yes I am!"

Cast: Ginger, Dodie, Macie, Courtney, Carl, Hoodsey, Blake, Lois, Winston, Joann, Dave (that didn't sound like Cree Summer on the other end of the phone as Miranda, and she wasn't credited)

Additional Voices:

• Dr. Randall - S. Scott Bullock
• Weatherman (on the radio) - John Kassir
• TV Reporter, Second Radio Weather Reporter - Kath Soucie
• Muffin - Stacy Winkler

A severe snowstorm causes Courtney, Blake, and Winston to get trapped in their limousine, to be rescued by Ginger, Dodie, and Macie and brought to Ginger's house to get warm - only for the unfrozen food and the firewood to run out and the power be off so they can't cook anything; Carl and Hoodsey take care of their dentist's dog in exchange for a cuspidor (a fancy word for "something you spit into")

• Technically, they don't say that members of the Donner party ate each other (they don't use those words...by the way, it did happen, but note they ate the bodies of those who died of other causes), but they do say that the relief party found "the bones of those who had died and been devoured by the few miserable survivors".
• The female weather reporter says Winslow county roads and highways are closed, but there is no Winslow county in Connecticut, nor in any of the states which border it. (Based on its ZIP code, it should be in Fairfield county.)
• Dodie and Hoodsey's father looks just like Hoodsey...well, Hoodsey wearing Macie's glasses. (And his first name - Dave - is mentioned in the credits.)
• Add "playing the guitar" to Ginger's talents (and she plays it right-handed, although even if she was left-handed, it could just be the way she learned to do it).
• Ginger says "Betsy Ross flaked on the first flag"; in fact, there's no evidence she had anything to do with making any of what could be called "the U.S. flag" (and almost certainly had nothing to do with putting white stars on blue in the upper left).
• Courtney is wearing "The Little Seal Girl" pajamas...which must be Ginger's, seeing as how (a) they wouldn't fit Dodie or Macie and (b) Dodie and Macie are wearing whatever sleepwear they brought.
• Looks like Ginger isn't the only one that has problems with two right feet:

(It's right after Ginger mentions Betsy Ross)

Episode 15 - Deja Who?
First aired 19th (as part of the second season) in the USA

Story by Emily Kapnek and Sheila M. Anthony
Teleplay by Sheila M. Anthony
Directed by Dean Criswell
Storyboards by: Karen Ciraulo, Joseph Scott, Alan Zegler
Additional Storyboards: Tron Mai, Monika Tomova
Closing tag: (Lois) "Huh - that Joann - what a firecracker"

Cast: Ginger, Dodie, Macie, Courtney, Miranda, Carl, Hoodsey, Blake, Brandon, Brandon's monkey, Lois, Joann, Claire, Ms. Zorski, Principal Milty, Mipsy

Additional Voices:

• Michael Ricci - Kiel Holmes
• Senator Ricci - Dee Bradley Baker

Courtney is expected to escort a senator's son, who is considering transferring from a public school, around Lucky, but when she develops an allergic reaction to the lobster in the cafeteria mystery meat, she trains Ginger to act like her, which she does...a little too well as far as Dodie and Macie are concerned; when Hoodsey bumps his head after falling off a swing, he develops amnesia, and turns into "Rob", who doesn't quite share the same tastes that Carl does

• For somebody with puffed cheeks, Courtney certainly sounds normal.

• I for one would think that even a Senator's son would eventually be able to tell the difference between a redhead and a blonde (then again, I once announced a high school football game alongside Senator Boxer's son - okay, he was 18 and the Senator wouldn't become a senator for another 10 years or so, but you get the idea); what happens when Michael meets the real Courtney?

• Does "new math" still exist?  (Those of you outside the USA, trust me, you do not want to know what it is.)

• Why would "Rob" replace Carl as his best friend with Brandon?  Easy - it must have been Joann's idea (anything to keep Carl out of her house).

• Courtney says that Michael has the same highlights as she does, but he doesn't appear to have highlights in his hair; in fact, they're different shades of blonde.

• Won't the people watching on TV who know Courtney realize that it isn't her?

• They never do say whether or not Michael ends up transferring to Lucky, although even if that had been Courtney at the table with him, Courtney probably wouldn't have let him get away with dissing Dodie and Macie (well, certainly not Macie, after what happened in "The Right Stuff") any more than Ginger did.

Episode 16 - An "Even Steven" Holiday Special
First aired 20th (as part of the second season) in the USA

Written by Emily Kapnek
Directed by Carol Millican
Storyboards by: Jennifer Coyle, Gabi Payn, Monika Tomova
Additional Storyboards: Karen Ciraulo, Joseph Scott
Closing Tag: (Ginger) "Happy Chanukah, Merry Christmas, in no particular order"

Cast: Ginger, Dodie, Macie, Darren, Carl, Hoodsey, Brandon, Lois, Jonas, Joann, Dave, Darren's father, Darren's mother, Ms. Zorski, Will, Dwayne

Additional Voices:

• Mitchey Mekelburg - Richard Horvitz
• Santa Claus #2 (Jonas's replacement on the street corner) - Arthur Burghardt

When Ginger discovers that Lois's father was Jewish, she decides that she'd rather celebrate Chanukah this year, but when she puts everything - and everyone - else aside, she decides to have an "even steven" Chanukah and Christmas celebration instead; Hoodsey tries to prove to Carl that there really is a Santa Claus, and tries to talk a street corner Santa into granting Carl's wish - to have his father come home for the holiday - which turns out to be easier than it sounds when the Santa happens to be Jonas Foutley

• Things learned in this episode: Dwayne's last name is Cochran (maybe he's an ancestor of Zefram Cochrane, who invented (er, will invent) the warp drive on Star Trek); Carl is severely allergic to peanuts (so no peanut butter & jelly sandwiches for him).

• The sign in Ginger's house spells it "Hanukkah"; personally, I prefer the spelling with the "C", which usually indicates you make that throat sound before pronouncing the H (or, as Angelica on Rugrats puts it, "you have to <ghch> when you say it").

• Macie's "family tree" has three pictures, two of which are her Aunt Bridget and a dog, which means that at least one of her parents isn't on there for some reason.  (Speaking of Macie, she has an Aunt Bridget and, according to "Kiss And Make-Up", a Great Aunt Brigitte (no, I'm not sure of the spelling), both of whom look a lot like Macie, although Bridget probably isn't Brigitte's daughter as Brigitte never got married.

• Ginger says "Happy Birthday Baby J" - as far as I know, this is as close to mentioning the Christian religion as any Nicktoon has ever been (well, except maybe when they sing "Joy to the World" in the first Rugrats Christmas special).

• Nickelodeon - the network where they don't like you saying "dead" (although Carl did say "I could die" when talking about the peanuts) but they turn the other way when there's a neon reindeer lifting its leg and relieving itself...

• For those of you who wonder what Macie meant by "stop, drop, and roll": it's what you do when you're on fire (stop moving, lie on the ground, and start rolling around to put the flames out on your clothes).

• How does Carl know what his father's truck looks like?  For that matter, how does Ginger know what Jonas looks like?  (She didn't know in "Hello Stranger".)

• More fun with dates: on the night before Christmas Eve, Lois is lighting the seventh candle (not counting the one in the middle) on the Menorah, which means that Chanukah began on the night of December 17.  The last time this happened was in 1995, and the next will be in 2041.

• Maybe it's the glasses, but I for one notice a resemblance between Jonas and Marianne of The Wild Thornberrys (although Marianne's maiden name is Hunter, so they're probably not related).

• You never do see Jonas give Ginger her Christmas present, but considering that she doesn't have a picture of Jonas (according to "Hello Stranger"), a picture frame seems somewhat appropriate.

Lyrics to Carl's version of "Jingle Bells"

Jingle Bells
Higsby smells
Dreidels made of clay
Frosty the frigid snowman
Went to his bar Mitzvah day - hey!
 

Episode 17 - Piece Of My Heart
First aired 18th (as part of the second season) in the USA

Story by Emily Kapnek and Rain Austin Chandler
Teleplay by Rain Austin Chandler and Sheila M. Anthony
Directed by Frank Marino & Joseph Scott (see "Sleep On It" for the difference between "and" and "&")
Storyboards by: Max Martinez, Darin McGowan, Sean Pendergrass
Additional Storyboards: Jennifer Coyle, Tron Mai
Closing tag: [acoustic guitar closing] (Hoodsey) "I like your socks" (Macie) Thank you, Burl

Cast: Ginger, Macie, Dodie, Darren, Courtney, Miranda, Carl, Hoodsey, Blake, Lois, Winston, Mr. Cilia, Mrs. Gordon, Mipsy, Chet, Ian, Will

Additional Voices:

• Check-in girl (at the dance) - Kath Soucie
• Delivery man - Craig Strong

Macie has a date with a "mystery man" for a school dance, unaware that it's Hoodsey, who has a crush on her; Darren thinks that an invitation to the dance from Courtney for Will is meant for him instead; Carl and Blake team up to get a pig's heart in order to save a dying cow

• "In Memory of Lewis Arquette" - Lewis died February 10, 2001, at age 65.  Although he was a fine actor in his own right, you might know some of his children, including Rosanna and David (and David's wife, Courtney Cox), better.  (Ironically, when Ginger gives the pen to Mr. Cilia, her last words to him were, "You may live to regret those words.")

• Note that this episode was made before "Summer of Camp Caprice", which is why Ginger is willing to ask Ian to the dance without any mention of Sasha.

• More evidence that episodes have some sort of order: Courtney mentions her French class from "The Right Stuff".

• Either Winston is a bit older than he looks, or Sadie Hawkins did exist when he was younger; then again, he almost certainly lived in England when he was young, and it's doubtful that any newspapers over there had "Li'l Abner".

• "Excuse me...who's 'Li'l Abner' and what does he have to do with Sadie Hawkins?"  Here's the story: in 1937, the comic strip Li'l Abner introduced an annual "Sadie Hawkins Day Race"; it seems that Sadie wasn't exactly the Courtney Gripling of her day, so her father got all of the eligible bachelors together (at riflepoint, presumably) and told them to start running; soon after, Sadie would run after them, and whoever she caught, she would marry.  Eventually, the race included every eligible bachelor and bachelorette in town, and any man who got caught that day had to marry whoever caught him.  Later, the "Sadie Hawkins Dance" was introduced; the theory was that the women would wear hard shoes and "accidentally" step on the men's feet, making them slower for the race the next day.  A "real-life" Sadie Hawkins Dance is nothing more than a dance where the women invite the men.

• Macie may be pretty much blind without her glasses, but she isn't deaf; she should be able to tell Dodie was behind her when Dodie speaks to her outside the dance.

• It sounds like Hoodsey calls himself "Earl Forkenstock", but Macie calls him "Burl".

• Blake says that the Gripling car is a Rolls-Royce (well, he just says "Rolls"), but the trademark grill and logo are missing, and the front grill doesn't have the "Spirit of Ecstacy" on it...but then, the only animated TV show actually authorized to use those was Thunderbirds.

• When Winston gives the invitation to Darren, one of the plaques on the wall has part of a uniform with number 33 on it; this seems to be a popular number on Nicktoons, as it's the number on the shirt Gerald pretty much always wears on Hey Arnold!.

• Notice that Ginger is dancing with Darren...and speaking of dancing together, all together now: "Dodie Bishop and Chet Zipper?"

Closing tag: [both "regular" and acoustic guitar closings] (Dodie) "It's over - over - over!"

Cast: Ginger, Dodie, Macie, Darren, Courtney, Miranda, Sasha, Carl, Hoodsey, Blake, Lois, Winston, Joann, Darren's father, Claire (Mrs. Gripling), Miranda's father, Chet, Principal Milty, Archie Chang

Additional Voices:

• Melanie (Sasha's sister) - Hope Levy
• Margie (the head counselor) - Carol Rosenthal
• Policemen - Jeff D. Beuhl, Kenny Blank
• Girl in movie - Jeannie Elias
• Field hockey player (the one who asks "which one is Matilda?") - Jackie Harris
• Georgia (Principal Milty's date) - Tress MacNeille
• Courtney's seamstress, Boy in movie - Laraine Newman
• Jed (the swimming counselor) - Neil Patrick Harris (yes, there's life after Doogie Howser, M.D.)
• Farmhand (at the cow birthing) - Jerry Houser
• Sarah (Ginger's past camp friend with darker hair), Carmen (soap opera character) - Candi Milo
• Cinammon Ann (Ginger's past camp friend with lighter hair) - Kath Soucie
• Giselle (Courtney's maid) - Kate Movius
• Doctor in soap opera - Tony Plana
• Sergeant (in the teamwork exercise) - Andre Ware
• Jarhead (the Camp Spengler staffer who "greets" Will, I think) - John Kassir

Ginger, Dodie, and Macie spend yet another summer at Camp Caprice, where they have some unexpected company - Courtney, who decides that Miranda's comment about how she wouldn't last very long without "high maintenance" needs to be proven otherwise - and Ginger meets a boy she has some serious feelings about (and who feels the same about her); across the lake, Darren and Miranda attend Spengler Military Academy, where they're under the command of Miranda's father - who treats Miranda like any other "private"; Carl and Hoodsey go into the house cleaning business as a front for searching for the dognapper who Carl thinks may have stolen his dog Monster years ago.

• "Why do you number it episodes 18, 19, and 20?" Usually, a 90-minute episode is treated as three 30-minute episodes.  In fact, in some countries (Australia, for example), it is shown as three regular-length episodes with different titles.
• Part 1 of the three-part version is titled "Season of Caprice" as that was the original name of the 90-minute version; the three-part version was sent out before the title could be changed.
• Add Principal Milty to the list of people who call Hoodsey "Robert".
• Not only can Miranda do "boys-style" push-ups (as opposed to "girls-style", where, at least in my day, your knees were on the ground), but she can do them with one hand behind her back. (This is not an animation goof - doing them this way is one of the better tests of how physically fit you are - not that I know about "physical fitness" from experience; when I was that age, I rated slightly better than Chet Zipper (I actually had some upper body strength, but weighed far too much for it to be much good).)
• How old is Sasha, anyway?  (In "Ginger's Solo", he's in junior high school.)
• At least Macie isn't alone in wearing a one-piece suit; Ginger and some other girls wear one as well.
• You would think a girls' camp somewhere in New England would have field hockey played on a field hockey field, but the lines look like they belong on a soccer field. (And yes, they do play field hockey in California and Asia (where the animation is done) - it's even in the Olympics.) (Note to non-North Americans; it's called "field hockey" in the USA as "hockey" usually refers to ice hockey.)
• Geography lesson: they're not called the "American Virgin Islands", but the "U.S. Virgin Islands" (or "Islas Virginas", as the principal language seems to be Spanish), and the only other "saint" among them is St. John.
• Astronomy lesson: in the scene where Darren and Miranda start to cross the lake, the moon is near the horizon and the lit part is "pointing up". This is impossible late at night; as the moon is lit by the sun, the sun should be visible in this situation.  "The horns of the crescent moon point away from the sun."
• Courtney's mother's first name, Claire, isn't mentioned on the show, but it is in the credits.
• Speaking of credits, there's a reason Miranda's father is credited as "Officer Killgallen" even though he's a sergeant (which is not an officer) at the camp; his normal job is police officer (and he's credited as Officer Killgallen in "Ginger The Juvey").
• The bus's license plate is B00014; this was the 14th episode to air in the USA.
• Macie asks, "What should (Dodie) have done when two campers were in danger?" Call me old-fashioned, but I would think telling some of the adult counselors so they could handle it would have been the smartest thing. (Tell me what would have happened had Macie suddenly discovered in the middle of the lake that she couldn't swim all that way, or that Dodie managed to lose control of the motorboat. I'll tell you; the producers would have sent the film back to Korea with instructions to stick to the script. Supposedly, this actually happens on occasion, especially when the Korean animators don't animate a joke properly because they don't understand it.)
• Then again, most of this mess would never have happened had Margie had the common sense not to give the key to the camp speedboat to a 12-year-old girl...
• Speaking of Ginger's locket, she played Melanie's guitar right-handed, but the picture in the locket shows her holding it as if she's playing it left-handed.
• Speaking of Ian, in the last class before summer vacation starts, Ginger and Ian are at the same desk.
• Maybe Ginger "got off with a warning" (and to be fair, what Ginger did wasn't so bad), but they never do say what happens to Darren and Miranda for their desertion. (Keep in mind that in the "real" armed forces, well, let's just say that you don't want to know what would have happened to them.) What makes it worse is that when Miranda returns home, she has to live with the sergeant who "hunted her down" in the first place. There are some questions best left unanswered...
• Looks like Lois changed her mind about Ginger's legs...

  

• Somebody did it again - this is from right near the end of the episode:

  

Lyrics to the Camp Caprice song

At Camp Caprice, price, price

Pronounce "price" as "preece" - rhyme it with "grease"

We don't say "mooses", we say "meece"
And we feel proud, proud, proud

When the girls sing it at school, it sounds like Macie says "are" instead of "feel"

So we sing our song aloud

On the bus, it sounds like some girls sing "as" while others sing "so" In the Season 2 episode "Lunatic Lake", it's "as"

And every morning, morning, morning
As a new day's dawning, dawning
We are proud, proud, proud
So we sing our song aloud
We come in peace, peace, peace
We're the girls of Camp Caprice
And we are proud, proud, proud
So we sing our song aloud

Lyrics to "Copper Colored Ponies"
