Whyy curious george

Straight to the point, this show should not be on TV. It has been on the air for literally 10 decades, and still airing on PBS Kids, airing new episodes. Should've ended after the very first episode, but hey, this show sucks so badly, that it fits in pretty great with the other crap PBS Kids has nowadays, such as Super Why and Martha Speaks.

So lets stop talking, and start reviewing this book series ruining TV Show. The animation is lazy. The color, if they have any, is boring and the characters are poorly drawn. Poor timing, and bland lip assignment. The theme song suffers from horrible singing it just sounds like a wannabe jazz musician, and the music sounds like it is just trying too hard. Yeah, this has no talent, and it is just an epic fail.

The music is generic as well, so yeah, this show fails at so many things, even music. The pacing in each episode is super slow, and it just feels like the show is never going to end.

Oh, and the writing is lazy, and it just seems they're not even trying. There is one good thing about this show, the educational value. I love all the interesting things they tell children. However, if it wasn't for the interesting information, this show would get one star. Zero stars if I could. Parent Written by sueryan10 June 18, The best show for toddlers My 2 year old loves this show and so do I. I was never a Curious George fan, but seeing the educational values in this PBS show has changed my mind.

I also like how there is a short real life segment at the end of each episode. This gives me ideas on how to extend the science concepts into real life. This title contains: Positive Messages. Positive role models. Read my mind 1. Parent of a 4, 4, and 6-year-old Written by danasigrid October 6, Not too old, not too babyish, just right. This has been the best show for our family; the little ones liked it from age 2 and the eldest still likes it at 6.

Animation is simple and clean, like the books; not loud and flashy. The voices are pleasant, not shrill or goofy. It's narrated by William H. Macy, which is another pleasure. The plots are fun and silly, but usually have some educational component, like counting, keeping score in games, reading maps, composting.

Half the episodes are set in a city made to resemble New York, and the other half are in the country. In each place, there are older kids living quite "free range" and devising their own interesting activities. A pleasure to watch for parents as well. Parent of a 3-year-old Written by mradventurous March 19, Really the best show for year olds that I've seen. Brilliant for kids. Entertaining for parents.

The narration teaches basic concepts from a 3-year-old perspective. Parent of a 3-year-old Written by haloudi April 10, I love it too!

It has this calming effect. Adult Written by Lebron12James3 October 10, And all I can remember years later is George and the man in the yellow hat riding a zebra in a Shrek costume.

There are seven original Curious George tales, and seven other well-known and anthologized Margret and Hans Rey stories. Hans received most of the credit for many years, but the stories are now seen to have been true collaborations. The two had known each other as children in Hamburg. They were both from Jewish families. Before moving to Paris, they had spent years together in Rio de Janeiro—Hans had moved there first, not long after serving in the German Army during the First World War.

In Rio, the couple fell in love and went into business together, designing large posters and maps. Though they had no children—not then and not ever—they did live with two marmoset monkeys. When they decided to travel back to Europe for a belated honeymoon, the marmoset monkeys came with them. It was a long, rainy crossing; Margret knit the marmosets sweaters to keep them warm; still, the monkeys died. That first Curious George story was published in It reads as notably longer than most books pitched to the same age group these days.

He then escapes prison by walking on electrical wires, with the balance of a circus performer or monkey. After that, George ends up in peril again, when he clutches too many helium balloons at once, but again he escapes his peril. In the nineteen-nineties, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt commissioned and distributed additional early-reader Curious George stories that were not written or illustrated by the Reys. Those stories were short and tended to focus on one simple mishap that was then made right.

The seven original tales by the Reys are more like mini-picaresques. They lost their luggage but still had their prints for a story about a monkey named Fifi.

Their American publisher suggested that they choose a less French name. Margarethe Waldstein became Margret Rey. They had new business cards made, with their more marketable last name, and ran an advertising agency. If you don't see it, please check your junk folder.
