I loved the intro to the show when George pulls cash out and Jane grabs the wallet. Some things never change.

When I was a child, shows like The Jetsons and The Flintstones were just reruns and on their way out the door. It's a shame, because I remember some of the episodes I watched as a child. They're from a happier, more civilized time.

I remember being a child and watching the Jetsons!

If the grid ever goes down, all these modern “conveniences” that we have allowed ourselves to become completely dependent upon will quickly become totally useless. I believe that it might be better for us in the long run to learn/remember how to do things the “old-fashioned way”.

Don't forget about the treadmill. Sure, the Jetsons used it to walk the dog, but we have them.

Jetsons, Flintstones, & Scooby Doo are some of my favorite cartoons of all time.

in my household we named our roomba Rosey because of the robot from the jetsons lol

Alex Jones was right more than the Jetsons.

[clubghz]

They forgot to predict humans eating maggots and owning nothing

[edwardm]

With Brandon it's going to be more like The Flintstones!

[jessekoch]

I like the last point. The first to pick-up the phone pats the bill, that's GOLD.

Been saying this for years now about the 'Jetson's'. Grew up in the 60's watching this.

3 hour work days. Now thats what Im talking about

[rageangerman]

I remember a lot of people in the 80s thinking we were going to be like the Jetsons by the year 2000. 😂

Rosie was the best, she did the housework and was also sarcastic.

One of my favorites back in the 60's
I miss last century time of living

The Jetsons also showed a world where people were getting less poor and less overworked thanks to technology rather than the other way around like today.

I think the movie "idiocracy" better predicted our future

[AmericanActionReport]

According to Screen Rant, at least ten futuristic movies were set in the year 2022. Before you sit down to eat in a restaurant, remember that one of those ten was "Soylent Green."

The Jetsons was made in 1962 but is set in 2062
George (40 years old) was born in 2022
Jane (33 years old) was born in 2029
Judy (15 years old) was born in 2047
Elroy (6 and a half years old) born in 2056

Hanna Barbara made this to show families imagining what the future will look like!
I would be in my late 50s and early 60s at the time 2062 comes!

Back to the Future predicted what 2015 would look like from 1985 but now that it is 2023, there is no futuristic city with high tech technology like the one in back to the Future but SsniperWolf shows us some cool inventions!
