Curious George is a 2006 animated television series based on the popular Curious George children's book series and motion picture, which features Jeff Bennett as the voice of The Man with the Yellow Hat. Frank Welker, who voiced George in the movie (which gives "The Man..." a first name: Ted), returns here as Curious George's typical monkey sounds. The stories are narrated by William H. Macy. The show is currently screened on PBS Kids as part of Miss Lori and Hooper's schedule block. He is known as a monkey but in fact is missing a tail which makes him an ape.

The series is produced by Universal Animation Studios (Universal Pictures released the Curious George film), in association with WGBH Boston. Each episode has two short cartoons per half-hour episode and a live-action segment after each story based on the previous theme of the story.
