TV Article Curious George By EW Staff Published on July 31, 2012 04:00AM EDT Photo: Universal (PBS) An animated TV series based on the popular books of the same name by Margret and H.A. Rey and airs daily on most PBS stations. The goal of the series is to inspire children to explore science, engineering, and math in the world around them. And what better guide is there for this kind of exploration than the world’s most curious monkey? Each episode has two short cartoons featuring The Man in the Yellow Hat and his curious pet monkey George and a live-action segment featuring school groups of kids who demonstrate experiments that teach the concept featured in the previous cartoon.
