Aftermath

When The Jetsons originally aired, no title cards were present. They were only added when the series was revived in 1985, and the original episodes were given title cards for consistency when they were all packaged together for The Funtastic World of Hanna-Barbera. Notably, they all include Orbitty, who wasn't in the original series.

Music

The music was composed and conducted by Hoyt Curtin.

Release

Dates are in order of release:

Behind the scenes

  • George dealt with Uniblab in the episode "Uniblab." Both episodes also have Henry Orbit, who helps George tamper with Uniblab to get even; this time he seems to have blown up (off-screen).
    • Uniblab, however, returns in season two, still getting George to gamble at Spacely Space Sprockets, but in a smaller capacity and a lot more tamer.
  • One of the passengers for Camp Nebula (played by Daws Butler) has a similar voice to Huckleberry Hound.
