1. Growing up George: modern day George started out as a wussy teenager, but as Season 1 faded out of millennial memory, he grew into a chest beating man with muscles! I think he has a big grin, sky blue eyes and dirty dark brown hair. That's because he is likely an alien, so his surname can be added for a possible third season.
2. Growing up Ape: George's best friend is an ape called Ape, because he's a smart sidekick! Like him, the gorilla (likely a Grauer's gorilla) started out as a nutty and sarcastic young animal, but as Season 2 began, he became wiser and more experienced. Oh, he also has a snotty brother called Ted.
3. Switching names: As I said yesterday, the name 'Magnolia' is too girly for the redhead while the name 'Ursula' is vice versa, but for the same reason as well!
4. Enough said for 2D: the first season remains an alright breadwinner among the two, because it wasn't good enough for its time. The second one is considerably weaker, but gets mixed reviews like the first. The biggest similarity that they both share: being 2D Animated and made on computers.
5. George needs a wife: will the modern day George of the Jungle need a wife? Is she someone new to the modern day continuity? I think both answers are yes, because she could be (1) a feral alien person being raised by apes and (2) can swing through the trees.
6. George of the city: will the modern day George land in the city where his extended family lives in? He can go to the city anyway, because he wants to meet his (mainly unseen) extended family for the first time in his whole dirty life!
7. Ursula reveals her past: Ursula (the Witch Doctor's adoptive daughter) is one awesome character by her full name of Hester Ursula Swank (that's my opinion). She was born to ex-fashion/rainforest activist parents in Toronto, but became an orphan at eight years old, when they got murdered by a timber mafia.
8. The show is rated PG in Nordic countries: yes, the Nordic peoples like to refer the same Canadian television masterpiece as PG instead of G! Maybe, the reason for this possibility is that the television show has a parental guidance tag in that region, because the characters could be quite dysfunctional and snobbish for the local kids here.
9. George's mum and dad have a test appearance: in a special episode segment called 'I've Gotta Beave Me!', modern day George dreamt that he had lookalike birth parents (who died mysteriously)! The mother - code named 'Lady George' - scantily resembled her original self (confusingly named Ursula of course!) of '67. The only major differences are the addition of a bone as a head/hairband (so Victorian!) and maroon hair replaced with brown hair. The dad - code named 'Man George' - barely resembled his original self at all, because the main difference is the replacement of a leopard loincloth with a leaf one (so Biblical, it's not funny).
10. The modern show is renamed in Sri Lanka: the name 'George' in the South Asian island of Sri Lanka is perhaps a big slur here, so the show was renamed 'Wan Ah Sara' (which, funnily enough, means 'Sarah' in the Sinhala language). Since the show got renamed for Sri Lankan television screens, it has become a locally dubbed smash hit for a few years now.
11. Furry comparison: there's a possibility that the two significant sidekicks in the original show were actually old perceptions of jungle animals!
12. The locations have been unofficially changed: the GOTJ location in 1967 is (in actuality) Sabah, which was Northern Borneo in the first days of the Cold War. The 1997 film's locations are Hawaii and San Fran, whereas the 2003 sequel's locations are Northeast Queensland and Las Vegas. The modern version is the first in the franchise's whole history to be set in the actual Congolian basin.
13. RIP old school: the original Tiger Tithy and Weevil were British, the original Witch Doctor was a native, District Commissioner Alistair was there, Vintage Georgie was an adventurous klutz, his wife Vintage Ursula was a bright minded New Englander woman, Doctor Chicago was a Hispanic mad scientist. Unlike Weevil, Tiger had a wife who only appeared in the pilot.
14. Goodbye Jay Ward: Jay Ward died in 1973, that’s it.
