Curious George (TV series)


Curious George is an American animated television series based on the children's book series of the same name which features Jeff Bennett as the voice of The Man with the Yellow Hat. Frank Welker, who voiced George in the 2006 feature film, returns as the voice of George. The show premiered on PBS Kids on September 4, 2006, and originally ended after nine seasons on April 1, 2015. This show follows the 2006 film of the same name.
On September 3, 2018, season 10 premiered, and has aired on Family Jr in Canada. The episodes debuted on NBC's streaming service Peacock in the United States when it launched in July 2020.
Curious George is a production of Universal 1440 Entertainment, Imagine Entertainment, and WGBH-TV, and animated by Toon City. Each episode has two animated segments per half hour episode, and a short live-action segment after each.
The live-action shorts illustrate and explain various concepts in math and science, and show schoolchildren engaging in experiments, that teach the math or science concept featured in the previous story.

Settings

The setting for most episodes is either The City, where George lives in an apartment building with The Man with the Yellow Hat, or the country, where they share a small house near a lake called Lake Wanasinklake. This allows George to mirror the experiences of kids who live in an urban environment and those who live on farms and in suburbs. A few episodes take place in alternate but familiar settings, like an airport or a train station.
