Curious George
A warm, sunny PBS Kids series following the world's most famous monkey as his endless curiosity gets him into gentle, problem-solving adventures alongside the Man in the Yellow Hat. The show weaves in real math, science, and engineering ideas in ways that never feel like homework.
A great everyday watch for toddlers and preschoolers, with enough substance to hold early-elementary kids too.
Episodes to know about
The 'Scaredy Dog' segment features an echoing, ominous sound in the basement that builds suspense before being revealed as a toy; sensitive kids may want a heads-up.
A headless scarecrow legend called No-Noggin is depicted with ominous visuals and music, and there is a brief jump-scare-style moment when George is mistaken for the headless figure.
Episodes routinely show George making a mess or getting into a pickle through curiosity alone, making them great conversation-starters about problem-solving and trying again.
