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.

Behind the scenes

• This is the second and last appearance of Rosie in the season. If it had not been for the '80s revival, this would've been her last appearance period.
• This is the first appearance of Mac, Rosie's boyfriend, which also would've been his last if it weren't for the '80s revival.
