the show is constructed around its writing, the writing itself is multi-layered. while george enters into situations in which common sense, math, and science concepts are introduced, the narrator maintains a sympathetic and respectful tone toward his mistakes and lack of understanding. outlandish situations are presented as such, and they are often funny for both the kids and adult audience.
by encouraging a sense of wonder about the world through empiricism and experience, this show accomplishes the rare feat among kids shows. adults are depicted as present, involved, non-interfering, sympathetic guides. george is often left to make his own decisions. instead of awkwardly presenting and dissecting social norms and peer relationships, the characters' personalities take their respective courses. george has the ability to chooses between which rules to adhere to, and which to not. as such, this show is a standout among early education television for both parents and children. the show's attitude about the world is mature, tolerant, and positive.
the quality of the show is fairly consistent from episode to episode. some episodes have stronger writing and animation quality, some are weaker, but overall, excellent, especially given the quality of the pack it runs with (pbs kids shows.)

I recently watched the Curious George show, and my experience with it was somewhat mixed. On the one hand, the show has some enjoyable moments of charm and entertainment. The animation is cute, colorful, visually appealing, and the characters are fun, likable, and well-designed. The show's creative team has done an excellent job of bringing the beloved children's book series to life, and it's evident in the care and attention to detail that went into the show's production.
However, there are some areas where the show could improve. For one thing, the plotlines can sometimes feel repetitive and predictable, making it hard to stay engaged. Though the show has moments of excitement and novelty, it can start feeling formulaic after a while. Additionally, some viewers might find the show's pacing slow, mainly if they're used to more fast-paced and action-packed shows. Finally, while the show is aimed primarily at younger audiences, it might not hold the attention of older viewers who are looking for more substance and complexity in their entertainment.
I would give the Curious George show a rating of 6 out of 10 stars. It's a decent show for children and has some enjoyable moments, but it could use some improvement in terms of plot and pacing to appeal to a broader range of viewers.

There are three types of young kids' shows on TV these days. The first is the hypnotic category, which has constant noise, motion, and repetition to keep kids' attention (a la Barney, Teletubbies, Backyardigans). The second is the "treat kids like they know absolutely nothing" category, in which shows "talk" to the viewers and ask completely mindless questions that are so obvious they can't be answered wrong (Blue's Clues, Dora the Explorer, etc.). The last and smallest category is the "simple story" category, in which shows teach young viewers with simple, easy-to-follow stories that can hold attention and entertain. Curious George is one of the few shows in that category, and it still teaches lessons in math and logic, which I don't think should be important in a kids' show, but which PBS and many parents believe are very important. Curious George is simple and nice, and I can appreciate its value even though I am neither a parent nor a sub-six year-old child. The animation and design are good, especially compared to the other PBS and Nick shows out there, which just goes to show that the makers actually care about what they are making. Yes, there is a very annoying character: Bill, a bratty know-it-all kid who drives me crazy. Even still, I'm not going to complain, because I doubt he annoys little kids like he annoys me. If you look at the other comments I have written you can see that I can be harsh, and I hold high standards, and this show meets them. If you have kids, and especially if you are tired of the hypnotic shows and the obnoxious shows, this is good, simple, well-done entertainment for kids.

This show is a gem in an otherwise depressing landscape of unintelligible garbage. So many of the kids show out there are dirty, crass, and gritty. CG takes a different approach towards a show that is clean, idealist, and filled with joy. I was always so glad that my son often chose this over other shows.
