‘THE JETSONS’ TURNED 50 YESTERDAY

Before we had Futurama, we had The Jetsons, a prime-time animated sitcom premiered 50 years ago yesterday on ABC and although the show only lasted one season it became so legendary that more episodes were produced for syndication and would eventually have a second run in the mid-80s. That said, its influence is stellar not just in television but in American life providing some foreshadowing for the baby boomers and their experiences in dealing with single parenthood,  advances in technological achievement ( I am STILL waiting for my flying car), and homosexuality.

Since then, there have been rumors of a live action take on The Jetsons but not much has been seen or heard from it since February. So on behalf of everybody here from Bubbleblabber, we want to wish a Happy Birthday to  Rosie, George, Jane, Judy, Elroy, and Astro.
