"Hi-Tech Wreck" is the nineteenth episode of The Jetsons season two, and the forty-second overall. It aired on October 17, 1985 in syndicated markets that featured The Funtastic World of Hanna-Barbera programming blocks. It was written by Bill Allen, and voice directed by Gordon Hunt.

A successful investment opportunity between Spacely Space Sprockets and a major corporation rides on George keeping R.U.D.I. from overloading, which, of course, means the end of his job, if he fails.
