Editor's Notes and Comments:
Description:
'Meet George Jetson...Jane, his wife...daughter Judy...his boy Elroy...' The catchy tune of The Jetsons ideally captures the lighthearted essence of the show, a futuristic counterpoint to The Flintstones that reflected the space-age optimism of the times. The Jetsons were the very very first family, animated or not, to have a big-screen home entertainment system decades before it became a reality. They also had flying cars, floating cities and androids, all commonplace scenery of today?s most popular sci-fi blockbusters. Now this beloved series teletransports onto DVD, all 24 hilarious Season-One episodes - plus Soaring Extras, both newly-made and vintage rarities drawn from the Hanna-Barbera vaults.
Amazon.com:
The Jetsons (1962) was the third primetime series from the Hanna-Barbera Studio, after The Flintstones (1960) and Top Cat (1961). Although the show was cancelled after its very first season, it proved a durable Saturday-morning favorite, running for more than 14 years on all three networks.
Like The Flintstones, The Jetsons borrowed heavily from live-action sitcoms, notably The Donna Reed Show and Hazel. The 21st century became a Futurelux vision of a '60s suburb. George Jetson (voiced by George O'Hanlon) pushed buttons for the penny-pinching Mr. Spacely (Mel Blanc). Judy (Janet Waldo) was a typical teenager with a crush on rock & roll singer Jet Screamer. Elroy (Daws Butler) was a bright little boy whose experiments always blew up. Astro (Don Messick) was one of the very first anthropomorphic dogs that became a Hanna-Barbera standard. Jane (Penny Singleton, basically reprising her role in the Blondie films) kept everyone and everything on course. The Flintstones used rocks and animals to approximate everyday appliances; The Jetsons had high-tech gadgets that invariably malfunctioned and clobbered George.
Aside from two commentaries by Waldo and a short making-of video with old footage of Hanna and Barbera, the DVD set has little in the way of extras: no bumpers, commercials, etc. The Jetsons hardly ranks as great animation, but for anyone who grew up during the '60s and '70s, these discs are the comforting video equivalent of a slice of orange cake with fudge frosting and a glass of milk. (Rated G: alcohol and tobacco use, minor cartoon violence) --Charles Solomon

This is one of my favorite cartoons of all time. I could say I liked it more than the Flintstones. But what frustrates me is that why is it that only season 1 has been released so far. It has been over 2 years I've been waiting for the other seasons. Common WB get the rest of the Jetsons seasons out already!!!

This entire set has not one cartoon from the original series. These cartoons are all pathetic remakes of the original, hilarious series. It is a travesty that they can be sold as "The First Complete Season". They must be the very first complete season of remakes. I saw the original Jetsons as a kid and when I started watching what is contained in this set---forget about it!!! I would have asked for my money back but the kid I bought it for wanted to keep it--since he didn't know the REAL JETSONS.
Rated by buyers -
The episodes on this set DO NOT have the laugh tracks removed, they are included on every episode just as they were originally broadcast in 1962-63.
Rated by buyers -
Bought this for my 7 year old daughter. She loves it as much as I did when it originally aired on tv. I do not like the fold-out cardboard packaging, but at least it's sturdy. We're also fans of "The Flintstones", "Alvin & The Chipmunks" and "The Smurfs".
