1 Personal Trainer / Sprout Outing

Curious George Personal Trainer: Professor Wiseman is too busy to keep an exercise routine. So when she signs up to run in a fund-raising footrace, she enlists George as her personal trainer to help whip her into shape. George quickly learns there is more to exercising than meets the eye and teaches Professor Wiseman that the keys to running are stretching, keeping hydrated, staying motivated and pacing yourself. Sprout Outing: George has just been made an Honorary Junior Sprout of Country County and is thrilled to be on his first trip with the troop. But when the troop gets lost in the woods, George not only finds himself separated from the group but he also discovers a man sawing branches off a tree - a clear violation of Sprout rules! Can George prevent the man from harming more trees, and earn his Sprout stripes along the way?
2 Gnocchi the Critic / George Cleans Up
9/9/09
Gnocchi The Critic: After days of Gnocchi choosing to eat cat food over Chef Pisghetti's famous creations, the Chef decides to stop cooking and close the restaurant! Not wanting to lose his favorite ravioli, George follows Gnocchi to find out why she stopped liking the Chef's food, but all she does is take naps, roll in the dirt and sneeze an awful lot. Her sneeze sounds an awful lot like the Man with the Yellow Hat when his flower allergy flares up. Can George diagnose Gnocchi in time to save Chef P's restaurant? / George Cleans Up: Armed with a cool new monkey-sized vacuum, George watches with amazement as his new "toy" sucks up everything in sight... including some of Mr. Stamp's rare stamps! Inspired by a TV superhero, George dons a cape and embarks on a citywide "cleaning" spree, using his little vacuum to suck up everything from bird food to dog biscuits to a winning lottery ticket. When the townspeople can't catch up to the cleaning monkey, will they view George as a Superhero Vacuum Monkey or a Super Villain?
3 Night of the Weiner Dog! / Animal Trackers
9/10/09
Night of the Weiner Dog! Poor Hundley, it's the first time he's been apart from the Doorman in over 3 years and George's room isn't exactly this dapper daschund's idea of "neat and orderly." Being a good host, George follows the Doorman's detailed instructions. George accurately measures Hundley's food, graciously lets him watch his favorite TV show, "Poodle Groomers," and even rearranges his living room to make Hundley feel more at home. Though Hundley's strict demands are not George's idea of a fun sleepover, George comes through for his friend by rescuing Hundley's squeaky mouse from the balcony. Now, at last, Hundley can fall asleep! Later that night, when George is having a nightmare, how can Hundley return the favor and help his friend? Animal Trackers: It's Nature Week and George is taking pictures of wild animals and their tracks for a big exhibit. Bullfrogs, squirrels, raccoons and hawks are all nice, but George wants a picture of something really exciting and unusual. While George searches for the fawn Bill spotted, he finds an unusual set of tracks that look like a cross between a gigantic duck and a colossal snake. George decides there must be a duckbilled dinosaur on the loose-which would make for a perfect photo for Nature Week! George leaves a trail of fruits and vegetables to lure the dinosaur, but then he remembers that not all dinosaurs are friendly! George frantically rushes to warn everyone, when he bumps into the real culprit behind those tracks - and it's very different than a dinosaur!
4 George Meets Allie-Whoops! / Hundley's Great Escape
10/12/09
George Meets Allie-Whoops! George has lots of friends in the country, but none like Allie, the five-year-old granddaughter of the Renkins who talks just about as fast as she runs. George spends the entire day showing Allie what it's like to be a monkey, with the day ending with a lesson in tree climbing. When they climb so high up the tree that Allie gets stuck, can George bring out her inner monkey and swing into safety? Hundley's Great Escape: George and Hundley chase Gnocchi into Pisghetti's basement, only to have the door lock behind them. George and Gnocchi quickly climb up a shelf and out the window, but Hundley isn't as nimble and is left behind in the cold, dark basement. Can George figure out a way to build a ramp leading to the window that even the littlest Dachshund legs can climb?
5 Juicy George / The Big Picture
11/23/09
Juicy George: After one sip, George and the Man with the Yellow Hat are so hooked on Juicy Jay's special blended juice that they buy their own juicer to recreate the drink at home. But operating a juicer is not as easy as it seems, and certainly not a mess-free process! With some fun-filled experimentation, George discovers the secret ingredient and creates a juice that even impresses Juicy Jay! The Big Picture: George's favorite bird is on the endangered species list! The Man with the Yellow Hat's new book would help spread the bird word, but the bookstore doesn't think people are interested in a 1,400-page novel about a bird. George and Steve devise an attention-grabbing plan that involves an empty billboard and a razzle-dazzle picture to help promote the book, but can a monkey, a whole lot of paint, and a blank canvas save the Cerulean Warbler?
6 Inside Story / Little Fish, Littler Pond
12/14/09
The Inside Story: George doesn't feel so well. There's a germ lingering inside his body that has him sneezing and coughing, while making very sleepy. In a cold-induced dream, George and Gnocchi travel inside George's body, chasing a blues-singing germ named Toots and his harmonizing Germettes through the monkey's nose, stomach, and lungs as George tries to rid his body of the germ. Little Fish, Littler Pond! A dry spell has lowered the water level of Lake Wanasink Lake, which leaves one of George and Allie's fish friends trapped in a small pond away from its family! George digs a canal with a lock between the lake and the little pond, but he can't get his fish friend to use it. Can a monkey and girl find another way to get the fish back to its family?
7 Guest Monkey / Charkie Goes to School
2/5/10
Guest Monkey: George is almost as excited as Allie on her first day of school, but is ecstatic when she invites him to school the next day as a special guest monkey! He soon learns, though, that kindergarten has a lot of special rules that he's not used to - like not climbing on the furniture or standing in the sand table. Will George get extra credit for trying to follow the rules, or will his effort create one big mess? Charkie Goes to School: Charkie's building has a new rule - all dogs must have a good-behavior diploma from obedience school. After seeing Charkie struggle with the obstacle course, George recruits the academy's top alumni, Hundley, to help prepare Charkie for the final exam. Can George and Hundley figure out a way to get Charkie to cross the finish line amid all the distractions?
8 Relax! / The Box And the Hound
2/20/10
Relax! George and the Man with the Yellow Hat convince Professor Wiseman to take a well-deserved break from work. But a stuck pickle jar, a tangled hammock, and a duck floating away with the Man's beloved hat turn their relaxing picnic in the park into one stressful afternoon. Still, could a day of creative problem solving be exactly what the monkey ordered for Professor Wiseman? The Box and the Hound: Charkie will do anything to get what's inside of Aunt Margaret's parcel, but George promised he'd keep it safe! After twisting, turning, flipping, and rotating the box, George is able to get it out of sight, but Charkie's keen sense of smell makes it impossible to stay hidden for long. Can George figure out how to distract Charkie's super sense long enough to get the box back to Aunt Margaret's house unharmed, or are his dog-sitting days numbered?
9 George Measures Up / Something New Under the Sun
4/22/10
George Measures Up: Chef Pisghetti is cooking one up for the records book - a strand of spaghetti that measures 30 feet! When the Chef leaves for an important appointment, George protects the noodle from being destroyed by a playful Gnocchi. Later, the Chef calls to ask George how tall the building next door is, but George doesn't have anything long enough to measure with... or does he? Chef Pisghetti returns and sees a monkey measuring a building with the world's longest noodle. Now THAT'S one for the record books! Something New Under the Sun: To beat the scorching summer heat, George and the Man with the Yellow Hat visit the museum, which is the only place in town with power, due to its new solar energy panel. George sees how the sun can charge batteries, and the Man agrees to make his famous lasagna as a surprise for Dr. Levit's birthday. But how can the Man make his lasagna without power for his electric oven? Can a monkey's new knowledge of solar power be the key to baking the world's first solar-energy birthday lasagna?
10 Movie House Monkey / Cooking With Monkey
6/14/10
Movie House Monkey: If George and the Man with the Yellow Hat can show Mr. Glass a truly unique movie theatre experience, he promises to save the old bijou from being demolished. So, with the Doorman and Hundley's help, they restore the theater to its original pristine beauty, and all goes well until the music gets jumbled, the film breaks, and a popcorn explosion accompanies a volcanic eruption on screen! Surely Mr. Glass can't say this wasn't unique! Cooking with Monkey: Professor Wiseman's creative approach to cooking leads to an unsuccessful extra-sticky cake... which doesn't bode well for the school's bake sale. George needs to find out what's wrong with Wiseman's cooking, fast! After an unproductive day full of shopping and cooking, Wiseman visits Chef Pisghetti and is stunned to see him cooking from a recipe. The Chef explains that a recipe is just like a scientific formula. Eureka! The rest is a piece of cake.

The show is not how the books used to be. It focuses more on george lending a hand and helping out. If he does make mistakes, they are honest but he works hard to make things right. I dont think anyone older than 5 or 6 would keep watching
