Here are my thoughts on this overrated monkey

Turns out this much hated show first came out a year before I was born. This was in some ways a big part of my childhood. Looking back, is it truly a bad show? Yeah, I would say so. Here's probably my biggest complaint. I don't like it when people say that something can be dumb just because it's for kids. I look back at "ZOOM", "Yo Gabba Gabba!", "The Wiggles", and "Baby Einstein" and you know what? They hold up as an adult.

All 4 are heaps way more educational than Curious George. This show focuses too little on just running into trouble and not really teaching valuable lessons. I had no idea George was even supposed to be an African chimpanzee. That's probably where a lot of the hate comes from. It's simply an annoying show with obnoxious voices. I guess in the strictest sense, Professor Wiseman is the least annoying character. The funny thing is that when I first came on this website years ago I read reviews of this show and they were really entertaining. Well, hatred of George has mostly died out by now, because we seem to be switching towards hatred of "Barney" and "Dora". I've heard of people who genuinely like this show and that's fine. For most of us, we have fun mocking it. *1/2
