The Jetsons

The Jetsons is an American animated sitcom produced by Hanna-Barbera, originally airing in primetime from 1962-1963, then later as part of the weekday-weekend morning programming block called The Funtastic World of Hanna-Barbera, until 1987. New episodes were produced from 1984-1987 as well. It was Hanna-Barbera's Space Age, very similar counterpart to The Flintstones. Very much like in The Flintstones, The Jetsons live in the year 2062 in a futuristic utopia of elaborate robotic contraptions, aliens, holograms, and whimsical inventions.

The cartoon show features the voices of George O'Hanlon as George Jetson who works at Spacely's Sprockets. Penny Singleton as Jane Jetson who is George's wife. Janet Waldo as the Jetsons' daughter Judy Jetson. Daws Butler as their son Elroy Jetson. Jean Vander Pyl as Rosie the Robot Maid. Don Messick as the Jetsons' family dog Astro. And Mel Blanc as George's boss, Cosmo Spacely.
