    Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

    There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

    I thought too that we would be living in Space Needle style homes, having food immediately made at the stroke of a button, a robot housekeeper, and a self-organizing wardrobe. While most things have stayed pretty much the same, the Jetsons was a futuristic version of the family featuring George and his wife, Jane Jetson, living a space needle designed home. They traveled space by motorized planes. Cars is non-existent and travel to other planets occurred regularly. Anyway, the show was a perfect companion piece to the Flintstones and both made by the same company. There was some interaction between the shows and the families differences but there were the similarities.

    The Jestons was a great creations of Hanna-Barbera who are the inverse of the great successful Flintstones show which represents a family living in the stone age, this show introduces a future view of the world in the end of the 21st century, and how the world is developed to have flying cars, sky pod houses that can be raised to be above the clouds or lowered to be in the normal heights, interactive robots and gadgets, TV and video calls and flying cars travels to everywhere in the galaxy .. All that and more are presented by the impressive golden touch of Hanna-Barbera The main heroes in this show were: George Jetson => The father of the family, an employee for Cosmo Spacely's company and is living a great family life with his family and in the same time trying to satisfy his short tempered boss: Mr Spacely in a series of comedy scenes, he's typically a model for the 60s American employee !! Jaine Jetson => George's wife, a really modern 60s woman Judy Jetson => Their Teenage daughter, loves the Rock n' Rool and is always in a state of a new love or out of a failed love story!!Elroy Jetson => A 12 years old short kid, his mind is very matured and is genius in the electronics and inventions Rosie => A Robot-maid that works for the Jetsons family, Rosie is a nice example of mid-aged English house keeper that is strict with quite a scenes of humor, Rosie had joined the family since the 1st episode in 1962Astro => A space dog that is somewhat reminds us with (Dino) from the Flintstones show, this strange dog almost can talk ..!!Henry => He's the porter of the house, a genius technician and is so loyal to George Jetsns Mac => A dumb robot that helps Henry and is in love with Rosie Mr Cosmo Spacely => George's boss, A great example of a greedy 60s American boss that all the time working strictly and trying to make the best use of Jetson Really it was a smiling view of the future that is all easy and automated and the work is as easy as pushing a button .. with the scale frame of the 60s .. No pollution, No starving, No wars, No Nukes .. really a smiling future view ..Although this show was made with almost complete world but it didn't have the golden charisma and success of the Flintstones, it stopped several times which made Hanna-Barbera to invest the over success of the Flintstones to make a collective movie gathering both the Flintstones and the Jetsons in 1987 in (The Jetsons meet the Flintstones) and then made a pioneer new look movie for the Jetsons in 1990 (The Jetsons - The movie) which was highly tech. cartoon with a very high color and animation quality with the same characters and ideas which came quite strong Also there's a rumor that a new movie will be introduced for the Jetsons in 2012 ..After all, we can say (A Good cartoon from the nice Golden era) Thans Han-Bar *** Lo'ay

    I have always enjoyed the Jetsons. But what else can we expect from Hanna-Barbera. They seemed to know what people wanted when it came to animated shows. How I wish Hanna-Barbera had made more Jetsons shows in the 60s. If Saturday morning worked for this show then more should have been made for Saturday morning. When are more of the shows being brought to DVD? Even the ones in the 80s were pretty good. Loved Astro the dog.Science fiction and fantasy done in Good taste.

    The Flintstones was the absolute best Hanna-Barbera show of the 60's but the Jetsons were a close second. Not because it was terribly funny but it was well made and had some kooky views on the distant future that many people still hope will come true. The Jetsons themselves were not really very futuristic. They were more a relic from the past, representing the typical American nuclear family, which has become more rare today. Imagine if two people of the same sex had been the heads of the household. That still wouldn't be accepted on a TV-show today but it has become more common in reality.So the Jetsons are a 50's family who lives in the future and a lot of the stories are taken from daily life like wishing you were rich and living an easy life. Ironically, George's job doesn't seem to be work at all but he is treated rather shabbily by his boss, Mr. Spacely. He is the typical grouch, who needs to browbeat his underlings to feel superior. At home, George has a stay-at-home wife who never seems to have any ambition of her own, except maybe being glamorous. The two children are sweet and doesn't seem to rebel at any time. The eldest daughter, Judy, falls in love every week and Elroy is the typical egghead. That's basically it. The gadgets of the future are more background than an integral part of the show and the story lines even rips off some dated TV-shows like Fantasy Island and the movie "The Wizard of Oz". There is not much to involve you and the characters do not have many dimensions. So you can say that the Jetsons could be considered Flintstones Lite, with a nice guy as the main character. Not terribly interesting.
