Two Many Georges

'"Two Many Georges" is the ninth episode of The Jetsons season three, and the seventy-second overall. It aired on November 10, 1987 in syndicated markets that featured The Funtastic World of Hanna-Barbera programming blocks. It was written by Harvey Bullock, and directed by Art Davis, Charlie Downs, Oscar Dufau, Paul Sommer, and Gordon Hunt.

George gets a rare day-off, but it's then filled with the needs of the family. When he gets overtasked, he uses a cloning machine, which creates a duplicate of George, who does a much better job.

Behind the scenes

 * This is the only season three episode to not have Mr. Spacely.
 * This is the only season three episode to have Orbitty, which is only in a non-speaking, sleeping cameo capacity. It's unclear why he was suddenly reduced in such an extreme manner since he still appears in the closing credits.
 * This is the third episode in which George has to take a dance lesson from a robot dance teacher.

Errors

 * Orbitty's inclusion must not have been a unanimous agreement amongst the animating team, as Orbitty is incidentally still left out of the family photo at the end of the episode.
