Aftermath

When The Jetsons originally aired, no title cards were present. They were only added when the series was revived in the 1980s, and the original episodes were given title cards for consistency. Notably, they all include Orbitty, who wasn't in the original series.

Music

The score was composed and conducted by Hoyt Curtin.

Release

Dates are in order of release:

  • United States: January 27, 1963 on ABC

Behind the scenes

  • George dealt with Uniblab in the episode, "Uniblab." Both episodes also have Henry Orbit, where he helps George tamper with Uniblab to get even; this time he seems to have blown up (off-screen).
    • Uniblab, however, returns in season two, still getting George to gamble at Spacely Sprockets, but in a smaller capacity and a lot more tamer.

Errors

  • The judge says George slammed into his car, but the car resembles the one Jane was driving from the Aero-Space Driving School.
  • Both the officers in the car following Jane refer to each as O'Jetski.
