The Jetsons meet The Flintstones for the first time!
The Jetsons Television Show
Debuted on ABC Television - September 1962
Hanna-Barbara decided to create a space-age futuristic version of the average family: The Jetsons. Following closely, it’s success with the Flintstones this cartoon focused on the Jetson family. George Jetson was the bumbling-yet-kind hearted man who worked for Spacely Sprockets under the greedy and mean eye of Mr. Spacely. His wife, Jane, was a homebody who was a whiz around the house. Their two children, Elroy was a very intelligent and industrious inventor, and a normal little boy. Judy was cute and boy-crazy and a regular teeny bopper. If Jane ever needed help around the house, she could always count on Rosie, their wisecracking robot maid, to pull everyone through. And just like The Flintstones, the Jetsons had a biological dog named Astro.
George’s boss Spacely believed that George was a thorn on his side and threatened to fire him in almost every episode! But George always found a way to keep his job and his sanity.
