Show Summary

  • Returning Series
The tale of Curious George is sweet and basic. George, an African monkey, is being raised by the Man in the Yellow Hat. The Man in the Yellow Hat tries very hard to care for George, however, complications frequently occur, typically George's naivety and curiosity get him and others into trouble.

The Man in the Yellow hat is typically able to save the day. On the rare occasions that things are beyond the Man in the Yellow Hat's control, George comes through and rights all wrong (usually George is the cause of the wrong). In the end, because George is just a helpless, innocent little monkey, everyone realizes that he is sorry for his actions, and they forgive him for causing trouble.

For over sixty years Curious George has been entertaining and educating young people. The concept of Curious George began as a series of children's books written by Margret and H.A. Rey in 1941. The books were immensely popular with children because George possessed so many child-like characteristics, and the plot was so basic and innocent.

In 1979 the Curious George books were turned into a cartoon so a wider audience could enjoy them.

Curious George airs on PBS weekdays at 8:30 am; & 3:30 pm eastern time.moreless

    Curios George getting his own show seemed cool at first because i remember as kid loving all the curios george stories. it seem like it good be a good show about george anticsd always leading him into mischief but alas this was a sorry attempt on the curios george story. most of the show is just filled with his monkey noises such as ooh ah and stuff like that. allso peolpe keep thinking he is a kid when they cleary can tell he is a monkey. i'm not a fan of this show it could much much better than it is.moreless

  • Curious George is a bad and good show at the same time and for these reasons...

    Curious George to me is only an ok tv show.... It is bad and good for these reasons.... Good because the monkey Curious George is very cute and is a classic since the 40s when the first book was created. Bad because some and certain episodes have no future teachings for kids and sometimes kids just look at the monkey and ignore the learning which is bad. So this is why the show Curious George is a bad and good show.moreless

    Summary : The tale of Curious George is sweet and basic. George, an African monkey, is being raised by the Man in the Yellow Hat. The Man in the Yellow Hat tries very hard to care for George, however, complications frequently occur, typically George's naivety and curiosity get him and others into trouble. Curious George is a great show for younger kids, and it is also good for older people too!

    That is all for my review of the show called Curious Georgemoreless

  • Good show. All our kids (age 10-1) like it. Mostly it's just entertainment, nothing more. Nobody stops to think it's strange that the best freind of an adult man who always wears yellow and wears a goofy hat indoors all the time is a mischevious monkey.moreless

    Some shows teach good things. Some teach bad. This one is neither ... it's just good entertainment for kids.

    Seems to appeal to a large audience ... enough that the moview was pretty successful.

    Not sure why the "Max and Ruby" show get's slammed for not showing the parents of 2 little bunnies, but this gets kudos for this bizzaro scenario.

    I'd rather have my young impressionable kids watch loving children raised by their grandma, than watch a nice-but-wierd single adult man and his monkey, though both shows are oaky to me. Also it's strange that people think it's cool if George is mischevious, but not cool when an adolescent bunny on "Max and Ruby" is mischeivious.moreless
