Jetsons: Space Age
built 614 days ago
Jetsons was the 21st Century version of the Flintstones. Produced by Hanna Barbera, it didn't do as well as its stone age counterpart in its initial run. However, it remained popular on Saturday mornings and in syndication on all three major networks for years to come.

By working and living in Seattle, the Space Needle is a daily reminder that this Jetsons-like structure is still unique after all these years. It can make a full rotation in an hour, giving sightseers and diners a lovely panorama of Seattle. On the residential front, San Diego’s Al and Janet Johnstone are the real-life Jetsons. They began construction on their Rotating Home in 2000 and as Al tells me, "We are 6 years into the 10 year plan — that being said, you have to understand the I am the Architect, Inventor, Engineer, Building Contractor and Janet and I have done about 75% of the physical work in building our home."

THE JETSONS is the story of an upper middle class space-age family living life in typical 1960s fashion. Unlike their cartoon cousins the Flintstone family -- who relied on animal-powered machines -- the Jetsons depend on space ships, buttons, and robots to get through a normal day.
