The Jetsons(1962) was the third primetime series from the Hanna-Barbera Studio, afterThe Flintstones(1960) andTop Cat(1961). Although the show was cancelled after its first season, it proved a durable Saturday-morning favorite, running for more than 14 years on all three networks.LikeThe Flintstones,The Jetsonsborrowed heavily from live-action sitcoms, notablyThe Donna Reed ShowandHazel. The 21st century became a Futurelux vision of a '60s suburb. George Jetson (voiced by George O'Hanlon) pushed buttons for the penny-pinching Mr. Spacely (Mel Blanc). Judy (Janet Waldo) was a typical teenager with a crush on rock & roll singer Jet Screamer.  Elroy (Daws Butler) was a bright little boy whose experiments always blew up. Astro (Don Messick) was one of the first  anthropomorphic dogs that became a Hanna-Barbera standard. Jane (Penny Singleton, basically reprising her role in theBlondiefilms) kept everyone and everything on course.The Flintstonesused rocks and animals to approximate everyday appliances;The Jetsonshad high-tech gadgets that invariably malfunctioned and clobbered George.The Jetsonshardly ranks as great animation, but for anyone who grew up during the '60s and '70s, it's the comforting video equivalent of a slice of yellow cake with fudge frosting and a glass of milk.
