The Jetsons is an American animated sci-fi sitcom television series produced by Hanna-Barbera (H-B) for ABC. It originally ran from 1962 to 1963, for 24 episodes that spanned one season. It was the third prime-time sitcom geared towards adults, after The Flintstones and Top Cat. The series was revived between 1985 to 1987, with 51 other episodes that spanned another two seasons, but aired as part of The Funtastic World of Hanna-Barbera programming block in syndication.
It is often described as the Space-Age counterpart to The Flintstones, who lived in the Stone-Age, where technology and life was assisted by dinosaurs and birds. The Jetsons, by contrast, is set in a far-off future utopia, with robots and other fantastical gadgets being used as support. In spite of its different setting, the humor was still focused on the basic struggles of life, much like its precursor.
The series, set in 2062 in Orbit City, is largely about the middle-class George Jetson dealing with the everyday complicated problems of his loud boss, Mr. Spacely, despite his actual job being a mundane routine of pushing a button to get Spacely's factory working. He also deals with family life, having to fulfill the needs and expectations of his wife, Jane, teenage daughter, Judy, and preadolescent son, Elroy, along with an overly affectionate pet dog, Astro, and a snappy robot maid, Rosie. In the second season, an alien named Orbitty was added to the family.
The entire series has been released on DVD, while the first season has been released on Blu-ray Disc.

Legacy
Between 1963 and 1985, Hanna-Barbera's first attempt at reviving the series was as a sequel that would have aged Judy and Elroy by ten years. It was pitched to CBS in 1974, but the network rejected it and had Hanna-Barbera retool it as Partridge Family 2200 A.D.
Soon after this new version ended, two TV movies followed, which were The Jetsons Meet the Flintstones and Rockin' with Judy Jetson, followed by a seemingly de facto series finale in Jetsons: The Movie, a theatrically released film by Universal Pictures in 1990. 27 years later in 2017 (with Hanna-Barbera having been absorbed into Time Warner in the late 1990s), Warner Bros. Animation produced the first and only direct-to-video film, The Jetsons & WWE: Robo-WrestleMania.
When Captain Planet and the Planeteers moved from DIC to Hanna-Barbera, it led to references to the latter studio's previous shows, such as The Jetsons in "Who's Running the Show?," when one of the sets at Lerner Communicatons resembled Orbit City.
Around 1996, Ed Scharlach wrote a pilot for a new series, but it was canceled when Time Warner acquired the studio by purchasing its parent company, Turner Entertainment.[2]
A live-action film has also been in the works since 1984 when Paramount Pictures purchased the rights.[3] Gary Nardino was to executive produce in 1985. In 1997, Warner Bros. Pictures were planning a live-action feature from producer Denise Di Novi, with a script by Stan Zimmerman and James Berg, with the possibility of Peter Segal directing.[4] By 2001, Warner Bros. had hired Paul Foley and Dan Forman for rewrites and Rob Minkoff to direct.[5] The success of the 2002 live-action Scooby-Doo film led Warner Bros. to offering its writer, James Gunn, to pen a live-action Jetsons movie.[6] Incidentally, and ironically, this got Foley and Forman the gig to write a potential Scooby-Doo 3.[7]
In July 2017, it was reported by TV Line that Warner Bros. Television was shopping around a live-action sitcom that would be set 100 years in the future and be filmed in front of a live studio audience, being overseen by Gary Janetti and his company Nickleby Inc., with help from Robert Zemeckis and his company Compari Entertainment. Jack Rapke and Jackie Levine would be executive producer and co-executive producer, respectively.[8] By the next month in August, the series had found a home at ABC, with the pilot being executive produced by Gary Janetti, Jack Rapke, and Robert Zemeckis, and written by Janetti.[9] At the Television Critics Association in January 2018, it was revealed by the President of ABC Entertainment Channing Dungey that they still intended to film in front of a live studio audience while incorporating futuristic visual effects.[10] In April 2019, it was reported by MovieWeb that Zemeckis would direct the pilot.[11]
In 2015, Deadline reported that Warner Bros. Pictures had plans for a new animated feature film. Matt Lieberman, who would go on to write Scoob!, was announced as the film's writer.[12] In 2017, Sausage Party director Conrad Vernon was hired to develop the movie and potentially direct, but later revealed in a 2021 interview with ComingSoon that he would not be directing. Despite this, Vernon affirmed that the film was "plugging along" and that he would continue to be involved in the project as a consultant.[13] Warner Animation Group will handle the production of the movie.
Justin Lin directed a live-action commercial for industrial company Arconic which promoted what the company could provide if the Jetsons was real by 2062. The theme song played throughout with actors playing each member of the family, although only Elroy was only the visually closest.
The Spümcø tributes
_title_card.png)
Former Hanna-Barbera animator John Kricfalusi, better known as John K., started up his own animation studio Spümcø in 1989, which created the revered The Ren & Stimpy Show for Nickelodeon in 1991. In 1999, Cartoon Network gave him his chance to show his "love" for old Hanna-Barbera cartoons by creating a short called "Boo Boo Runs Wild." Other shorts followed periodically, which included his takes on The Jetsons. In 2001 and 2002, he created "Father & Son Day" and "The Best Son," respectively, for Cartoon Network's official website. After this, the world never had to see another one of John K.'s so-called tributes again.

- In the Mighty Mouse: The New Adventures episode "Don't Touch That Dial," a boy watches a show called The Jetstones, a mashup between The Flintstones and The Jetsons. There is a fat George lookalike who drives his saucer car, but it's made of stone and is foot-powered. Stella, his wife, rushes out of the house made out of stone, but the front doors slide open, and the land floats in the air like the high buildings in Orbit City, and a woman runs on a treadmill made of stone. The entire scene is accompanied by a Jetsons-lie intro, where the singer introduces everybody.
- In the film American Boyfriends, Sandy gets bored with the news and channel hops to the beginning of The Jetsons theme song, which she is pleased by as she comments, "Don't you just love The Jetsons?" After a few more flips, she goes back to The Jetsons, which is revealed to be "The Coming of Astro," where Jane is getting her hair done at Galaxie Beauty Salon. Pierre's voice is also heard off-screen when Thelma starts getting upset.

- In Shadow Cabinet Issue #8 - "Red Death Part 3: Wheep Wheep," two scientists at the Foundation discuss the timeline of The Flintstones in creating Stone Age technology analogues to the 20th century, even suggesting that it's a post-apocalyptic version of The Jetsons.
- In the Moesha episode "The Ditch Party," Hakeem calls the Mitchell family the Jetsons, as part of the recurring joke of him referring to the family as popular families, whether they be fake or real. His reason for calling them the Jetsons, is because Frank has the same haircut as George.
- In the Malcolm in the Middle episode "Malcolm Babysits," Malcolm is told he can't have a robotics kit by his mom because it is too expensive, but also because of his dad's fear of fictional robots such as "[Rosie] the creepy maid from The Jetsons."

Timmy's entrance is similar to both the opening and closing theme songs, with Timmy (dressed like Elroy) driving a flying car shaped like a saucer just like George does in the opening. All the characters are supposed to be robots (although Timmy is unaffected by this fact). Along the way, he meets Tony Futurelli taking his dog for a walk on a treadmill shaped like a pizza, just as George took Astro for a walk on a treadmill in the closing credits. Tony mocks Timmy's ride, and then his dog sees a cat just like Astro saw a cat, but Tony's dog has beef with the cat because he owes the dog money. The dog chases the cat which causes Tony to fall and get dragged. Tony then shouts, "Maria! Get me off this crazy thing!" The dog and cat then jump on the balcony to watch Tony continue to spin around.
- In the George Lopez episode "Leave It to Lopez," George falls asleep while The Jetsons theme song plays, inducing a dream in which he and the rest of his family are the Jetsons living in their futuristic apartment in Orbit City.
- In the movie Fat Albert, Danielle says she was a guest star on Bugs Bunny and The Jetsons.
- In the Baby Looney Tunes episode "The Wheel Deal," Bugs and his friends take their bikes apart to make a new one for Tweety, with the first choice being one that resembled a Jetsons space car, accompanied by a jingle of the theme song, but Bugs commentated that it was "too new."
- In the Gilmore Girls episode "Introducing Lorelei Planetarium," Lorelei quipped that Christopher's new flat screen TV is something out of The Jetsons, even adding, "Meet George Jetson, his boy Elroy," from the theme song.
- In the Sons of Anarchy episode "Hands," Potter enters Juice's cell where he has been lent a TV that has the Merrie Melodies theatrical short Bars and Stripes Forever. Not really paying attention, Potter says he is a Hanna-Barbera fan, too, saying Quick Draw McGraw is his favorite. He offers Juice to sign some paperwork that will allow him to leave under the condition that Juice acts undercover. Potter, again not really paying attention or caring what's on, says he'll wait until after The Jetsons is finished for him to decide.
- In the Parks and Recreation episode "The Comeback Kid," the overly manly Ron informed Leslie that he had to "jettison" some of the wood from making her stage. When Leslie sees only the top half of her face on a poster, she asks what happened to it, with the not so bright Andy informing her they had to "Jetsons" that, too.
- In the Brooklyn Nine-Nine episode "The Pontiac Bandit Returns," Doug sends a text through voice message, with this feat of technology he describes as a "magical age" they live in, with Jake adding that it's like The Jetsons.
