published in 1946
The year is wrong: *See the Circus* was published in 1956, not 1946.
Full reasoning
Bibliographic sources date H. A. Rey's See the Circus to 1956. Open Library lists it as "An edition of See the Circus (1956)" and gives the publish date as 1956. Kirkus Reviews likewise gives the book's release date as September 26, 1956. That means the article's date of 1946 is off by ten years.

released on Peacock on September 20, 2020
The Peacock release date is incorrect. *Curious George: Go West, Go Wild* premiered on September 8, 2020, not September 20, 2020.
Full reasoning
Multiple sources place the streaming premiere of Curious George: Go West, Go Wild on September 8, 2020. Rotten Tomatoes lists its Release Date (Streaming) as Sep 8, 2020. Animation World Network, reporting Peacock's announcement, also says the movie was "premiering September 8." That same AWN article separately lists September 20 as the date Peacock added older Curious George movies and seasons 1–9, which appears to be the date that was mistakenly applied to Go West, Go Wild in the article.

produced by Weston Woods Studios in 1958
This production year is incorrect. Weston Woods' *Curious George Rides a Bike* film is listed as a 1983 release, not 1958.
Full reasoning
The article gives 1958 as the production year for the Weston Woods film adaptation of Curious George Rides a Bike, but Weston Woods/Scholastic materials and a museum catalog both date that film to 1983. A Scholastic Weston Woods catalog entry for Curious George Rides a Bike explicitly says "1983 release", and ACMI's catalog lists the work as a United States, 1983 film with production company Weston Woods Studios and production date 1983.

he receives his name in the Curious George TV series
This is backwards: the 2006 feature film was already calling the character Ted before the TV series debuted.
Full reasoning
The article says the Man with the Yellow Hat "receives his name in the Curious George TV series," but the 2006 film had already named him Ted before the TV show premiered. Rotten Tomatoes' synopsis for the film says "explorer Ted journeys to Africa," and gives the film's theatrical release date as February 10, 2006. Rotten Tomatoes lists the TV series' release date as September 4, 2006. So the name did not first appear in the TV series; it was already in the movie months earlier.
