The Jetsons

Do you remember the Jetsons? They had a petty lame theme song.

Meet George Jetson.
His boy Elroy.
Daughter Judy.
Jane, his wife.

That’s all they wrote. That’s it.

The Jetsons is a futuristic cartoon set in 2060s that aired in the early 60s and again in the 80s. It’s made by the good people at Hannah-Barbera that also created the Flintstones.

Like all things in the 60s, they made bad predictions on the future such as hovering cars or thinking computers. And then there are some things like futuristic typewriters instead of laptops. And I bet there internet is really, really slow.

Kind of like how in the Flintstones everyone’s names are related to geology, the Flintstones names are somehow futuristic or related to outerspace. Such as Galatia, the mayor of Super Nova and her talking dog Staryu.

George Jetson is the father who works at Spacely’s Sprockets. He works there three hours a day, three days a week. I work about an hour a day, one day a month. I don’t remember what exactly he does but it seems he does all of the work. He even walks Astro on the treadmill even though Astro is fully capable of walking himself.

Spacely should now be known as Danny DeVito. Apparently DeVito’s company was founded in 1937 in Newfoundland. See I did some research. Even though Newfoundland is part of the greatest nation Canada, Newfis are idiots. I know one old Newfi guy from poker, who used to be a fisherman, hates Newfi jokes even though he isn’t the sharpest harpoon in the harpoon holder case.

Jane is a homemaker even though they already have a robot maid that does all of the real work. Again I don’t know what she does aside from taking her husbands money and going shopping. But she only wears the same damn purple dress every day. Maybe she has a walk-in closet full of purple dresses. But she is a fine looking bitch.

Judy is a typical futuristic teenager. She is incredibly anorexic and uses the treadmill to burn off calories. She attends Orbit High School where they learn important matters like how to turn on your robotic maid or how to fly a flying briefcase car.

Elroy is the kid genius that is always inventing something new. He attends Little Dipper School. But I think he should go to a genius school because he already knows how to bend space time and create a robot with real emotions that can create other robots with real emotions.

The Jetsons have two pets. Orbitty the cute little purple creature that was later added to the show because they needed more characters and more storylines. I wish I had one because it’s cute, it can change colors and it has spring legs. And Astro is the talking pet dog that is very similar to Scooby. “That’s rright Reg, I am rog. Now I want some frood.”

Rosy is the fat robot maid bitch. She’s a really outdated model but a beloved member of the family. She has to clean space dust, clean space toilets and how to turn on the automatic microwave. She even has a robot boyfriend. How do they have sex, I don’t know?

So the show begins with George flying in his flying car. I think it’s a hybrid that runs on exomaplatteric energy because gas stations are assholes. I mean how high can gas go until people get really, really pissed off and find other means?

So George drops the kids at school and he drops his wife at the mall where she spends his hard earned money. Once at work his flying car turns into a brief case. My hover skateboard turns into a lunch box.

I never realized that they used laugh track. Hahaha. Do people really laugh when others are laughing? Haha. I mean in the future do people laugh at everything. Haha. They will laugh at anything remotely funny. Haha. Like when Astro shits on the treadmill and shit splatters all over the place. Haha.

It seems that with conveyer belt sidewalks and flying briefcase cars people don’t seem to do much exercise. And with futuristic microwaves you would think everyone would be really fat. Unless Elroy finally invents a skinny pill.

The cartoonists try to save time and energy by using the same goddamn background. Seriously like Astro is running away from George because Astro shit on the treadmill and you can clearly see the background on a loop.

It seems every day George fucks up or there is a huge misunderstanding. Like Judy wants to fuck her boyfriend Comet but she doesn’t want her parents to find out. So Elroy would help Judy by inventing some new birth control pill.  But George mistakes it if for a vitamin pill. So Judy takes the vitamin pill instead and gets knocked up by her boyfriend while George gets violently ill.
