"The Jetsons" premiered in primetime on ABC on September 23, 1962. In trying to design a follow-up to their smash hit "The Flintstones", took this family sitcom in the opposite direction by setting it in the ( then ) far off 21st Century.

The family consisted of the beleagured bread-winner George, loving wife Jane, hip daughter Judy, fun-loving Elroy, and loyal dog Astro. Also in the cast were robot maid Rosie, George's irritable boss Mr. Spacely, Mr. Spacely's rival Mr. Cogswell, and handyman Henry.

Although only one season's worth of episodes was initially produced for primetime, the show eventually aired on and off on all three networks on Saturday mornings from 1963 to 1983. Additional episodes ( featuring new family pet Orbitty ) were produced for syndication in 1985.

Voice Cast:

George Jetson - George O'Hanlon, Jane Jetson - Penny Singleton, Judy - Janet Waldo, Elroy - Daws Butler, Astro - Don Messick, Cosmo Spacely - Mel Blanc.
