The futuristic series, first produced by Hanna-Barbera in 1962, was set in the year 2062.

In Orbit City, all the homes and businesses are built on columns that allow buildings to be elevated into the sky.

Elroy is the younger of the two Jetson children. He is an exemplary student at Little Dipper School and an active member in his Space Cub Troop.

He works at Spacely Space Sprockets, turning the Referential Universal Digital Indexer (R.U.D.I.) on and off.

Astro is the Jetsons' family dog. He is able to speak in a rough sounding English resembling dog barks and growls, a manner of speaking which voice actor Don Messick would later reuse for the role of Scooby-Doo.

Although Jane is a devoted homemaker and has a robot maid and automated appliances, even the simple act of pushing buttons for housework exhausts her. She often takes a break by shopping at her favorite store--Mooning Dales (a parody of Bloomingdales).

Interestingly, even though transforming into a briefcase is a feature of 21st century cars, there are car parks depicted everywhere.

Despite George's best efforts, which include sabotaging Judy's contest entry, she wins a date with the star of the The Jet Screamer Show.

Prior to becoming a Jetson, his name was Tralfaz and he belonged to the fabulously rich Mr. J.P. Gottrockets. But Astro finds the simple life with the Jetsons much more appealing.

Rosie handles housekeeping chores not otherwise rendered obsolete by the home's numerous push-button Space Age conveniences. She is a model XB-500, an older model, but the only one U-Rent A Maid had that Jane could afford.
