“The Jetsons” Get Boomerang Start Date

Here’s George Jetson!

Boomerang will be streaming The Jetsons starting Thursday, August 10th. For those that don’t know, The Jetsons  was a popular prime time cartoon show that features the Jetson family living in a utopian future. People live in housing in the sky, work a three-day workweek, drive aerocars that look like flying saucers and have incredible conveniences that leave them with plenty of leisure time. George, his homemaker wife Jane, and their children, Judy and Elroy, also have a robotic maid named Rosie and a talking dog named Astro. Airing first on ABC in the 1960s, the series was resurrected in the 1980s, with more episodes produced for syndication.

Airing first on ABC in the 1960s where the show has a dubious distinction of being the very first television series broadcast in color on ABC, the series was resurrected in the 1980s, with more episodes produced for syndication.

 Reports are out there that Gary Janetti (Family Guy) is trying to bring back the franchise for a live-action reboot, as well as Will Ferrell and Adam McKay producing an animated film. Regardless, the series is served best as meant for primetime audiences as opposed to kids show.
