Characters

Curious George is a monkey that investigates everything because everything fascinates him even things he already knows about. George usually gets into some mischief but he usually manages to get himself out of it and even saves the day.

The Man with the Yellow hat is Georges best friend and mentor, his parental presents that trust George unconditionally. He never expects him to get into trouble. He is well likes in the neighborhood and a little goofy around the edges.

Bill is George’s neighbor in the country. He has got a lot of new things for Georges to get in trouble with and explore, he has a bike, paper route, a collection of kites and a lot of bunnies.

Professor Wiseman is full of great information about all sorts of things for George. She is a good friend to the Man with the Yellow Hat. She gets excited about George’s adventures.

Jumpy the squirrel is a bit of a daredevil he loves to collect things and share them with George. He likes hanging out with George, even if George forces him out of his comfort zone from time to time.

I feel that Curious George is a very good educational television show for young children to watch. My 20 month old son loves to watch George. He will even ask to watch Curious George by name. My son is a very active little boy but when I put on Curious George he will just sit and enjoy the show. He will act out some of the scene that George is doing. If George gets into to much trouble he will yell out Ah-OO. George teaches the children not to be afraid to explore new things that it is health to get into some trouble as long as it does not get you hurt and you are learning something new.
