Curious George is a 1982 animated television series produced by Alan Shalleck, along with co-creator of Curious George, Margret Rey.
History
In 1977, Alan Shalleck approached Margret Rey, co-creator of Curious George, and proposed making a television series that was funded by Lafferty, Harwood, and Partners. When production for the series began in 1979, Shalleck and Rey produced more than 100 five-minute episodes, as well as more than two dozen books.[2] The shorts began airing on Nickelodeon in 1982, originally part of their preschool series Pinwheel, but also as a standalone program beginning in 1986. The Disney Channel purchased broadcast rights to Curious George in 1989 for their program Lunch Box, also airing the shorts as post-show interstitials until 1999. The shorts were also aired in New Zealand on TV One first as part of Chic Chat and later as a stand alone show.
In 1993, Rey successfully sued Lafferty, Harwood, and Partners for licensing VHS tapes to third-party companies without her permission.
