The Jetsons

George Jetson is one of the main characters and the protagonist of the Jetsons animated franchise. His voice was originated by George O'Hanlon.

George is a working-class family man from 2062, who works at a manufacturing plant called Spacely Space Sprockets that makes sprockets as a digital index operator, which means he spends his time sitting and pushing a button. Legally, he's supposed to work an hour a day, two days a week, but this varies greatly due to his boss, Cosmo Spacely, tasking George with many other duties that are way out of his job description.

In popular culture

• Although having no part of the actual movie, George, along with Jane and Astro, was featured on the poster of the 1985 film D.A.R.Y.L. The inclusion of the family may represent something Daryl is missing out on, while Paramount Pictures may have included it as an Easter egg as they had acquired the rights the same year for what became an undeveloped live-action movie.
• In the Moesha episode "The Ditch Party," Hakeem calls the Mitchell family the Jetsons, as part of the recurring joke of him referring to the family as popular families, whether they be fake or real. His reason for calling them the Jetsons, is because Frank has the same haircut as George.
• George, alongside Jane, Rosie, Judy, and Elroy, appear as posters in the Kanye West music video for "Heartless."
• In the 2022 Disney+ film Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers, there is a cosplayer dressed like George at Fan Con, both inside and outside (who may or may not be the same person).
• In the Drawn Together episode "A Tale of Two Cows", He's killed by Live Action Cow alongside his family. What's left of him is seen on the treadmill, in reference to the ending scene from the original series. When the gang passes by, Captain Hero references George's famous line by saying "We need to stop this crazy thing!".
• In the Steven Universe episode "Greg the Babysitter" when Greg and Sour Cream get stuck on the treadmil, he yells for Rose to "get him off this crazy thing".
