The Jetsons Audience Reviews

Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.
SeeQuant Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction
Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
Aspen Orson There is definitely an excellent idea hidden in the background of the film. Unfortunately, it's difficult to find it.
loay_76 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
BumpyRide A poor step-sister to The Flintstones, The Jetsons never achieved the viewer ship or following that The Flintstones had achieved, which was why it was canceled after only one season. The downfall of the show was that is was not nearly as inventive as The Flinstones. Here, all you had to do was push a button and some robotic device would come out and clean the dinner table. The location is also vague. Where are they, and why are all the buildings elevated above the clouds? The characters weren't very inventive, aside from Rosie, and the other relationships were never fleshed out thus leaving the show sterile and antiseptic. Clever at times but not clever enough.
tfrizzell Success for William Hanna and Joseph Barbera due to their breakthrough animated series "The Flintstones" (which came to life in 1960) led to this futuristic hybrid dud. The storyline is basically the same as the aforementioned stone-age sitcom as George Jetson and his family try to survive in an alternative universe where robots and technology have supposedly made life easier, but the typical would-be hilarious situations still occur within the family unit. "The Jetsons" has the strangest run of any major television show from the past. Only 24 episodes were produced in the early-1960s and then production on new installments did not happen again until 1984. Sporadically more episodes were made until new adventures finally stopped in 1988. In all there are 75 episodes (a little less than half the number "The Flintstones" completed). On its own "The Jetsons" shows silly sitcom ideas from the 1960s in a stylized animated form. When compared to "The Flintstones" it loses even more of its already lacking luster. 2 stars out of 5.
mathmannix I grew up watching the Jetsons, and it was always funny to me, but it is really just a kid's cartoon. It obviously has to be compared to the Flintstones, which really was the point of it, after all, to take the Flintstones and try it in a different setting. But the Flintstones was not just a kid's cartoon, it is entertaining to adults too, because it had more meaning. Because it focused on the friendship of Fred Flintstone and Barney Rubble. In creating the Jetsons, a Barney character was sadly left out. George Jetson interacts with his wife, boss, and dog (all true for Fred as well), but he really cries out for someone else for his character to play against.
