It was Hanna - Barbera 's Space Age counterpart to The Flintstones. George O'Hanlon provided the voice of George Jetson. While the Flintstones lived in a world which was a comical version of the `` stone age '', with machines powered by birds and dinosaurs, the Jetsons live in a comical version of the future, with elaborate robotic contraptions, aliens, holograms, and whimsical inventions. The original series comprised 24 episodes and aired on Sunday nights on ABC beginning September 23, 1962, with primetime reruns continuing through September 22, 1963. It debuted as the first program broadcast in color on ABC - TV. ( Only a handful of ABC - TV stations were capable of broadcasting in color in the early 1960s. ) In contrast, The Flintstones, while always produced in color, was broadcast in black - and - white for its first two seasons. Following its primetime run, the show aired on Saturday mornings for decades, starting on ABC for the 1963 -- 64 season and then on CBS and NBC. New episodes were produced for syndication from 1985 to 1987. No further specials or episodes of the show were produced after 1989 due to the deaths of stars George O'Hanlon and Mel Blanc. The 1990 film Jetsons : The Movie served as the series finale to the television show. 27 years later, a new direct - to - video animated movie, The Jetsons & WWE : Robo - WrestleMania !, was released in 2017.

The city 's architecture is rendered in the Googie style, and all homes and businesses are raised high above the ground on adjustable columns. George Jetson lives with his family in the Skypad Apartments : his wife Jane is a homemaker, their teenage daughter Judy attends Orbit High School, and their son Elroy attends Little Dipper School. Housekeeping is seen to by a robot maid, Rosie, which handles chores not otherwise rendered trivial by the home 's numerous push - button Space Age - envisioned conveniences. The family has a dog named Astro, that like Scooby - Doo talks with an initial consonant mutation in which every word begins with an `` R '', as if speaking with a growl. George Jetson 's workweek is typical of his era : an hour a day, two days a week. His boss is Cosmo Spacely, the bombastic owner of Spacely Space Sprockets. Spacely has a competitor, Mr. Cogswell, owner of the rival company Cogswell Cogs ( sometimes known as Cogswell 's Cosmic Cogs ). Jetson commutes to work in an aerocar that resembles a flying saucer with a transparent bubble top. Daily life is leisurely, assisted by numerous labor - saving devices, which occasionally break down with humorous results. Despite this, everyone complains of exhausting hard labor and difficulties living with the remaining inconveniences. Penny Singleton was the voice of Jane Jetson. Characters The Jetson family ( clockwise from upper left ) -- Rosie ( robot ), George, Jane, Judy, Elroy, and Astro the dog Main article : List of The Jetsons characters George Jetson : age 40, is the main character and protagonist of the series. He is a loving family man who always seems to make the wrong decisions. He works at Spacely 's Sprockets turning the Referential Universal Digital Indexer ( R.U.D.I. ) on and off. He is married to Jane and together they have two children, Judy and Elroy. Jane Jetson : age 33, is George 's wife, mother of their two children, and a homemaker ( although it is Rosie who does most of the work ). Jane is obsessed with fashion and new gadgetry. Her favorite store is Mooning Dales. She is a dutiful wife who always tries to make life as pleasant as possible for her family. Outside of the home, she is a member of the Galaxy Women Historical Society and is a fan of Leonardo de Venus and Picasso Pia. Judy Jetson : age 16, is the elder child in the Jetson family. A student at Orbit High School, she is a stereotypical teenage girl whose interests include clothes, hanging out with boys, and revealing secrets to her digital diary that she calls Didi. Elroy Jetson : initially age 61⁄2 ; later age 8, is the younger of the two children in the Jetson family. He is highly intelligent and an expert in all space sciences. A mild - mannered and good child, Elroy attends Little Dipper School, where he studies space history, astrophysics, and star geometry. Elroy loves his dog Astro and is always there to support him when George loses his patience with the family pet. Rosie : Rosie is the Jetsons ' household robot. She 's an outdated model, but the Jetsons love her and would never trade her for a newer model. Rosie does all the housework and some of the parenting. She is a strong authoritarian and occasionally dispenses pills to the family. Excluding a scene from the closing credits, Rosie appears in only two episodes of the original 1960s show, but makes many appearances on the 1980s show. Astro : Astro is the Jetsons ' family dog. Prior to being a Jetson, his name was Tralfaz and he belonged to the fabulously rich Mr. J.P. Gottrockets. Astro is one of George 's best friends ( next to his work computer, R.U.D.I. ) as well as Elroy 's best buddy. He is able to speak in a rough sounding English resembling dog barks and growls, a manner of speaking which voice actor Don Messick would later reuse for the role of Scooby - Doo. Orbitty : is an alien with spring - like legs who was the second pet of the Jetson family. He has the ability to express his emotions by changing color. This character was introduced in the 1980s version of the series, but did n't appear for the third season ( except for one cameo ) or any of the movies. Cosmo Spacely : is George 's boss and owner of Spacely Space Sprockets. His company was founded in Newfoundland in 1937. He is a small man with thinning black hair and a bad temper, and is the main antagonist of the series. Spacely always comes up with ideas to bring in more business, but they backfire. George, whom Spacely has known since childhood, gets blamed for most things that go wrong. A series ' running gag involves his kicking George out of his office shouting, `` Jetson ! You 're fired ! '' ; however, Spacely would give George his job back in the end of the episode, and if he was very happy with George, promote him to vice-president of the company. Mr. Spacely is sometimes helped out by Uniblab, the company 's robot assistant. Spencer Cogswell : is Spacely 's big competitor. He owns Cogswell Cogs company and causes a lot of trouble for Spacely and George. To a lesser extent Cogswell is another of the series ' antagonists. He and Spacely are always finding ways to bring each other 's businesses down. Cogswell has often tried to steal Spacely 's ideas and make them his own to gain an advantage ( only for it to backfire on both bosses ). He 's also not above firing his employees when any little thing goes wrong. Mr. Cogswell 's first name, `` Spencer '', is revealed in the 1980s version of The Jetsons. Cogswell slightly resembles Mr. Slate of The Flintstones. R.U.D.I. : is George 's work computer and one of his best friends, next to his dog, Astro. His name is an acronym for Referential Universal Differential Indexer. He has a human personality and is a member of the Society for Preventing Cruelty to Humans. In the episode `` Family Fallout '' ( originally aired September 22, 1985 ), the Jetsons win a TV game show after George Jetson correctly states what the initials `` R.U.D.I. '' stand for. Henry Orbit : is the Jetsons ' apartment 's building superintendent. He is always helpful and always in a good mood. He built a robot named Mac who has a crush on Rosie. Recurring characters Montague Jetson, George Jetson 's kindly but eccentric grandfather, who constantly annoys the cop every time he meets him -- Howard Morris Mrs. ( Stella / Petunia ) Spacely, Cosmo Spacely 's overbearing and snobbish wife and Arthur Spacely 's mother -- Jean Vander Pyl Arthur Spacely, Mr. Spacely 's son -- Dick Beals ( earlier episodes ), Catherine Thompson ( season 3 ) Uniblab, George 's mortal enemy -- an obnoxious robot who was also his supervisor at work. Appeared in two 1960s episodes, `` Uniblab '', where he becomes George 's supervisor, and `` G.I. Jetson '', where he becomes the Sergeant of George 's platoon. ( `` Cost the government millions... enough for two officers ' clubs, '' said General McMissile, nicknamed `` Old Blast Off '' ) ; and a 1980s episode, `` Wedding bells for Rosey '', where he reveals to Rosie that the new `` B.E.B.O.P. '' law enforcement was a ruse. His name is a pun of UNIVAC ; - Don Messick. DiDi, Judy 's digital diary -- Selma Diamond in the 1980s TV series and by Brenda Vaccaro in The Jetsons Meet the Flintstones. Miss Galaxy, secretary at Spacely Sprockets -- Jean Vander Pyl Marcia van Marsdale, highschool student and Judy 's rival -- Catherine Thompson Orwell Spacely, Mr. Spacely 's nephew. He is an inventor and works at his uncle 's factory, where he is constantly inventing things to help his uncle Cosmo out. He once invented a spot remover spray that turned George Invisible. He also clones George Jetson on one occasion -- Howard Morris Voice cast George Jetson -- George O'Hanlon Jane Jetson -- Penny Singleton Elroy Jetson -- Daws Butler Judy Jetson -- Janet Waldo Astro the Space Mutt / RUDI / Uniblab / Mac -- Don Messick Rosie / Mrs. Spacely / Miss Galaxy -- Jean Vander Pyl Cosmo Spacely -- Mel Blanc Spencer Cogswell -- Daws Butler Henry Orbit -- Daws Butler ( Howard Morris in a few early Season 1 episodes ) Orbitty -- Frank Welker DiDi -- Selma Diamond ( and Brenda Vaccaro after Diamond 's death ) In later productions, Jeff Bergman has voiced George, Elroy, and Mr. Spacely. Bergman completed voice work as George and Spacely for Jetsons : The Movie ( 1990 ) after George O'Hanlon and Mel Blanc died during production. Controversially, Janet Waldo was replaced -- after recording all of her dialogue -- by then - popular singer Tiffany for Jetsons : The Movie. Lori Frazier has provided the voice of Jane Jetson in television commercials for Radio Shack. Production The first season for the series was produced and directed by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera, When the Warner Bros. Cartoons studio closed in May 1961, several of its animators, including Gerry Chiniquy and Ken Harris, also joined Hanna - Barbera to work on the first season. Morey Amsterdam and Pat Carroll controversy In 1963, Morey Amsterdam and Pat Carroll filed a $12,000 suit each, against Hanna - Barbera for breach of contract. Both claimed they had been cast and signed to the roles of George Jetson and Jane Jetson respectively. Their contracts stipulated they would be paid US $ 500 an episode with a guarantee of 24 episodes ' work ( a full season ). However, they recorded only one episode, after which they were replaced. Several sources claimed the change had occurred as a result of sponsor conflict between Amsterdam 's commitment to The Dick Van Dyke Show and Carroll 's to Make Room for Daddy. The case had been closed by early 1965. In a 2013 interview, Pat Carroll indicated that the court had ruled in favor of Hanna - Barbera. Episodes Main article : List of The Jetsons episodes Season Episodes Originally aired Season premiere Season finale 24 September 23, 1962 ( 1962 - 09 - 23 ) March 17, 1963 ( 1963 - 03 - 17 ) 41 September 16, 1985 ( 1985 - 09 - 16 ) December 13, 1985 ( 1985 - 12 - 13 ) 10 October 19, 1987 ( 1987 - 10 - 19 ) November 12, 1987 ( 1987 - 11 - 12 ) The show 's original run consisted of 24 episodes that first aired on ABC from September 23, 1962, to March 17, 1963, and, as was standard practice at the time, contained a laugh track. In 1984, Hanna - Barbera began producing new episodes specifically for syndication ; by September 1985, the 24 episodes from the first season were combined with 41 new episodes and began airing in morning or late afternoon time slots in 80 U.S. media markets, including the 30 largest. The 41 new episodes were produced at a cost of $300,000 each, and featured all of the voice actors from the 1962 -- 1963 show. During 1987, 10 additional `` season 3 '' episodes were also made available for syndication. Broadcast history Following its primetime cancellation, ABC placed reruns of The Jetsons on its Saturday morning schedule for the 1963 -- 1964 season. The program would spend the next two decades on Saturday mornings, with subsequent runs on CBS ( 1964 -- 65 and 1969 -- 71 ) and NBC ( 1965 -- 67 ; 1971 -- 76 ; 1979 -- 81 and 1982 -- 83 ). Beginning in the late 1960s, The Jetsons also began airing simultaneously in syndication. Along with fellow Hanna - Barbera production Jonny Quest and Warner Bros. ' Looney Tunes shorts, The Jetsons is one of the few series to have aired on each of the Big Three television networks in the United States. Theme song The series ' theme song, by composer Hoyt Curtin, became a pop hit in 1986. Science fiction themes Animation historian Christopher P. Lehman considers that the series shares its main science fiction theme with Funderful Suburbia ( 1962 ), a Modern Madcaps animated short. Both feature people involved in space colonization. However there is a key difference in the nature of the colonization. In Funderful Suburbia, humans colonize outer space in order to escape the problems of planet Earth. The Jetsons live in a place where space colonization is already established. Life in outer space is depicted as a fact of life, while the reasons behind humanity 's take over of outer space are never explained. Lehman argues that the series offers no explanation for its science fiction premise and does not directly satirize the social problems of any era. The setting is combined with standard sitcom elements, which serve as the series ' main focus. Reception After the announcement of the fall 1962 network television schedule Time magazine characterized The Jetsons as one of several new situation comedies ( along with The Beverly Hillbillies, I 'm Dickens... He 's Fenster, and Our Man Higgins ) that was `` stretching further than ever for their situations '' ; after all the season 's new shows had premiered -- a season `` responding to Minow 's exhortations '' -- the magazine called the series `` silly and unpretentious, corny and clever, now and then quite funny. '' Thirty years later, Time said : `` In an age of working mothers, single parents and gay matrimony, George Jetson and his clan already seem quaint even to the baby boomers who grew up with them. '' In contrast, economist Jeffrey A. Tucker wrote in 2011 that The Jetsons is `` distinguished in science - fiction lore by the fact that it is a rare attempt in this genre that actually succeeds in predicting the future. '' Apart from the flying cars of the animated series which are, as yet, unfeasible in the real - world, the technology of The Jetsons has become commonplace : people in the early 21st Century communicate via video - chat on flat screens, robots have taken over many jobs, push - button food provides fast and high - quality products ( e.g., Keurig coffee ), various high - tech devices are used for leisure, and so forth. Tucker further notes that The Jetsons depicts neither a grim dystopia nor an idyllic utopia, but rather a world where capitalism and entrepreneurship still exist and technology has n't changed fundamental elements of human nature. Differences between versions This section does not cite any sources. Please help improve this section by adding citations to reliable sources. Unsourced material may be challenged and removed. ( November 2010 ) Added characters : In the first episode of the 1980s episodes, an alien named Orbitty joined the family after Elroy discovered him on a field trip to an asteroid. Orbitty speaks in his own garbled dialect, has coil springs for legs, and changes colors according to his mood. Various appliances appear in the 1980s episodes such as Memo - Minder and Di - Di, Judy 's diary, which is shaped like a giant pair of wax lips. Other differences include the following : The original 1960s episodes are distinguished by 1960s design motifs, music, and references ( similar to The Flintstones and other Hanna - Barbera shows of that period ). The 1980s version had a custom soundtrack with new sound - effects created by synthesizer. Whereas the 1960s stories were basically 1950s sitcom plots in a setting, the 1980s stories delved into fantastic, sci - fi cartoon territory. The 1960s version was more adult oriented than the 1980s version, which was aimed at younger viewers. The 1980s opening credits contain a re-recorded version of the original Jetsons theme song, which features the use of synthesized drums and synth lead tracks typical of 1980s music. The 1960s closing credits were similar to the closing credits scenes from The Flintstones, which feature the family getting ready for bed as well as a disaster with their pets. In The Jetsons, George is walking Astro on a treadmill, Astro chases a cat, and then both animals jumping off after the treadmill malfunctions leaving Jetson running for his life. The 1980s version had to accommodate a larger production staff, including dozens of voice actors, and this closing credits segment was replaced with static multicolored backgrounds with pictures of The Jetsons arranged next to numerous credits. The 1960s episodes were rereleased with the redesigned closing segment ( containing fewer production staff credits than the 1980s episodes, but has more names than the original closing scene which left several people uncredited ) but are usually seen rebroadcast with their original credits segment. The 1960s episodes do not contain title cards. When the 1980s episodes were made, title cards were also made for the 1960s episodes, which explains the appearance of Orbitty in the title cards of the 1960s episodes. ( Orbitty also appears in the 1980s closing credits, which style was also used for the 1960s episodes. ) Many of the 1980s episodes were colored and composited using computer animation technology including digital ink and paint, rather than the more traditional ink and paint on cels. The backgrounds in the 1980s version contain vivid colors, and are more detailed than the 1960s version. While the 1960s episodes referenced rockets and other `` space age '' theme devices, reflective of the real - life American space program which fascinated the United States, the 1980s episodes leaned more towards how computers would influence life in outer space. In the 1980s version, Rosie the Robot appears more often than in the 1960s ( when she only appeared in two episodes ). Astro is also featured more prominently. The original spelling of Rosie 's name is `` Rosey '', as featured in the 1962 premiere `` Rosey the Robot ''. Her spelling was modified to `` Rosie '', as featured in the 1985 episode `` Rosie Come Home ''. Instead of the buttons, knobs, dials, and switches in the 1960s version, the 1980s version uses flat buttons and brightly lit consoles. The 1960s episodes were fitted with a laugh track ( as was The Flintstones ) ; the 1980s episodes were not.

( 2017 ) Planned live - action and animated film reboots Paramount Pictures first tried to film a live - action version of The Jetsons in 1985, which was to be executive produced by Gary Nardino, but failed to do so. In the late 1980s, Universal Studios purchased the film rights for The Flintstones and The Jetsons from Hanna - Barbera Productions. The result was Jetsons : The Movie, which was released in 1990. In November 2001, screenwriting duo Paul Foley and Dan Forman were brought onboard to revise a screenplay, with Rob Minkoff attached as director and Denise Di Novi as producer. On March 18, 2003, it was announced that the script was again being reworked, with Adam Shankman entering negotiations to direct and co-write the film. In June 2004, with Shankman still onboard as director, Di Novi confirmed that the latest draft was penned by Sam Harper. By May 2006, the project was re-launched with Adam F. Goldberg confirmed as the new screenwriter, and Donald De Line was added as producer alongside Di Novi. In May 2007, director Robert Rodriguez entered talks with Universal Studios and Warner Bros. to film a CGI adaptation of The Jetsons for a potential 2009 theatrical release, having at the time discussed directing a film adaptation of Land of the Lost with Universal. Rodriguez was uncertain which project he would pursue next, though the latest script draft for The Jetsons by Goldberg was further along in development. In January 2012, recording artist Kanye West was mistakenly reported as creative director over the project, though West clarified on social media that `` I was just discussing becoming the creative director for the Jetson ( sic ) movie and someone on the call yelled out... you should do a Jetsons tour ! '' Longtime producer Denise Di Novi denied the confirmed involvement stating negotiations with West via conference call was merely `` preliminary and exploratory and introductory ''. In February 2012, Warner Bros. hired Van Robichaux and Evan Susser to rewrite the script. On January 23, 2015, it was announced that Warner Bros. is planning a new animated Jetsons feature film, with Matt Lieberman to provide the screenplay. As of May 25, 2017, Conrad Vernon will direct the film. Planned live - action TV remake On August 17, 2017, ABC ordered a pilot for a live - action sitcom version of The Jetsons to be written by Gary Janetti and executive produced by Janetti, Jack Rapke and Robert Zemeckis.

In the late 1990s, George, Jane, and Astro appeared in Christmas Radio Shack commercials. In 2003, New Zealand ISP Xtra used The Jetsons as part of an advertising campaign with George Jetson promoting the benefits of broadband Internet. The advert ended with George saying, `` Broadband is the way, but some people will never get used to progress '', and an image of Fred Flintstone using a stone shaped computer with a real mouse. The Jetsons have appeared three times in Family Guy. The Jetsons were seen in a Cartoon Network Rap in 1995. The Jetsons characters were in a parody of I, Robot done on Robot Chicken where Rosie is accused of murdering George. The Jetsons can be seen in the background in the `` MetLife '' commercial `` Everyone '' in 2012. The Jetsons appear in Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law, in the episode `` Back to the Present.

'' The review of the DVD release from Entertainment Weekly said the show `` trots through surprisingly dated sitcom plots about blustery bosses, bad lady drivers, and Elvis Presleyesque teen idols, all greeted with laugh tracks '' but points out `` it 's the appeal of the retro - prescient gadgets ( recliner massagers, big - screen TVs, two - way monitors ) that still carries the show. '' Season 1 was released on DVD in Region 4 on July 5, 2006. Season Two, Volume 1 was released on DVD almost three years later, on June 2, 2009 for Region 1.

Forbes magazine valued Spacely Sprockets at $1.3 billion, on its `` The 25 Largest Fictional Companies '' list.
