Hanna-Barbera’s ‘The Jetsons’ served as the futuristic counterpart to ‘The Flintstones’. Whereas ‘The Flintstones’ humorously depicted the Stone Age with bird- and dinosaur-powered machines, ‘The Jetsons’ presented a whimsical vision of life a century ahead, featuring sophisticated robots, extra-terrestrials, holograms, and fanciful gadgets. The Jetson family, including George, Jane, Judy, Elroy, and their dog Astro, navigated this imaginative future world.
