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.

Errors

  • When talking through the visaphone, Jane still has to tell George it's her, but this may have be done as a joke more than anything else.
