Development
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 one of the rare occasions where George is at work, without Mr. Spacely appearing.
- How Elroy meet Astro is revealed in "Millionaire Astro".
- On The Jetsons: The Complete First Season, this is the fourth episode.
Errors
- The televiewer may or may not be the visaphone.
