    Ah yes Curious George, the curious little monkey. I remember him well.
    There is a slight send up of him on an episode of the Simpsons where Mr. Burns has a pet monkey named 'Furious George'. For some reason this name change had me in stitches.....even brings a smile to my face now.
    Also in another episode Homer reads a book to Maggie titled 'Curious George gets the Ebola Virus'.:D

    Was it Curious George that had the friend "the man with the big hat" - basically a cowboy who owned him?

    Yeah, that was the one. The man was always dressed in yellow, if I remember... yep... I used to really like the Curious George books!! :)

    I'd imagine many of us were first exposed to Curious George when Anything Goes used show it on Saturday mornings.

    Great show.

    Many monkeys have graced my sig... but Curious George hasn't been one of them.

    He is pretty cool though.

    What's the deal with Curious George anyway?

    They refer to him as a monkey, but he clearly doesn't have a tail... is he merely a chimp or was he mutilated in some way perhaps when his curiousity about guillotines got the better of him?
