- This article is about the aborted 1996 TV series. For other uses, see The Jetsons.
An untitled revival of The Jetsons was being worked on by Hanna-Barbera in 1996. The pilot was written by Ed Scharlach,[1] after which, creators of the What a Cartoon! anthology series on Cartoon Network were assigned to work on the new visual style, including David Feiss.[2]
The pilot was about the Jetson family replacing Rosie the robot maid with a human maid, which would have been considered revolutionary. The family changes their mind when the kids get upset that Rosie is gone and the human maid's attitude is more than they can handle.[1]
