Having Fun Filming our New Season

Hey there CQ Fans!  We hope that you are enjoying our new shows.  We had so much fun filming them.  Our episode this week is a tour of the Vermont Teddy Bear Company.  This is one of our best shows yet.  I had the most fun in the Stuffing Room.  What an awesome company.  Don't miss it!

We are currently in the middle of filming for the upcoming Curiosity Quest Goes Green series.  We are having a blast and learning so much about how to be caretakers of this beautiful planet that we inhabit.    We can't wait to share all of the new information that we have learned.   This series will be airing in the spring.  We will let you know air dates as they approach.

Keep writing those letters.  Your letters are what fuel the show.  Let us know what you are curious about.  Wouldn't that be awesome if we chose your letter?

Thank you for your continued support of our show.  We couldn't do it without you, and that's a fact!  Keep Watching and Stay Curious!

New Season in Full Swing

Well, our new season is in full swing.  We are very proud of these episodes and we hope that you are enjoying them.    Make sure you check out our new episode this Thursday at 7:30.  We will be taking you on an inside tour of the Jelly Belly Factory.  This is a real dream come true for the CQ staff.  We had an amazing time filming it and left the factory with a definite sugar rush.  

We are proud to say that we get an increasing number of letters from our viewers every week, but don't stop now.  We need more!  The Curiosity Quest staff reads every letter of curiosity that comes our way.  You never know, we could choose your letter next.  Please continue to write and tell us what you are curious about.  Right now we are, specifically, looking for letters on "green" issues.  

We received an unprecedented number of letters from viewers over the weekend.  Thank you to all of you.  Our favorite letter of the week  came to us from Daniel in Cortland, NY.  Daniel is 
5 years old and he wrote,

"My Quest Idea is:  To go in a research submarine to view sea creatures of the deep
and draw what we see.  I'd really like to go on one of the subs that has a
big viewing window so I can see a lot of stuff easily and have room to draw."



Thank you for your letter Daniel.  We hope that we can do a letter on submarines sometime soon :) 

Thank you for everyone for your ongoing support.  We look forward to hearing from you.  

Stay Curious!

New Season Ready to Launch

Hey there CQ fans. The moment that you have all been waiting for is finally here! The first episode of our new season airs on Thursday, October 2nd at 7:30. This is definitely going to be our best season yet.  Watch every Thursday as we explore topics such as: how motorcycles are made, what it is like to be a chef and touring behind the scenes at the Ben and Jerry's Factory. We have been working so hard on each and every episode and can't wait to share them with you.  Thank you for being so patient while you waited for our new season.  We think you will find that it was worth the wait.  

Keep writing your letters. We are already starting pre-production on our new Curiosity Quest Goes Green series.  Tell us what you would like to know about Going Green.  We look forward to hearing from you.

Stay Curious

I Love New York!


Remember our Curiosity Quest contest to find the best "quest" idea? Well...contest winner, Dorothy Kang and just got back from Long Island City, New York where we learned all that we could about how pianos are made at the infamous Steinway & Sons. And let me tell you, I will never look at a piano the same way again. The gracious staff at Steinway & Sons took us step by step through the very long process of making a piano. After the shoot, the CQ crew got a chance to hang out with Dorothy and her family at the American Museum of Natural History and the famous Boathouse resturant in Central Park! We had a tremendous time that will never be forgotten. Check out this episode airing December 2008.
Till next time....stay curious!
