A few running gags in the series that George never looks out as he swings on a vine and thereby ever opbotst to trees, and that he constantly forgets that he lives in a tree house which he always falls down when he leaves his home.

George has a crush on a woman named Ursula, he always mentions "Fella". He shares his home with an intelligent gorilla named Ape. Georges is a pet elephant called Shep. ==Design[ Edit] == The series actually consists of three series, which are no connections with each other. In addition to videos of each episode also contained a George of the Jungle movie of Tom Slick and Super Chicken. The votes in all three movies were done by the same actors.

The series was produced in Hollywood. It employed some famous illustrators to join Phil Duncan, Rod Scribner and Rudy Zamora. The title song of each movie was composed by a team of Stan Worth and Sheldon Allman.

The series used a more detailed drawing style than previous works of Jay Ward. However, this brought great costs. That is also the reason that the series was halted after 17 episodes. ==Successors<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] == ==Cultural references<span class="mw-editsection" len="355" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;font-family:sans-serif;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] == <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">"Weird Al" Yankovic made a cover of the George of the Jungle-theme song for his 1985 album Dare to Be Stupid .
