Get ready to meet George Jetson — because he’s about to be born.
The button-pushing, flying-car-riding, iconic future man entered the galaxy on July 31, 2022, according to “The Jetsons” canon. While George is having his first birthday, the show itself is about to celebrate its 60th: it debuted on Sept. 23, 1962, a century before it’s set.
That means we’re supposed to be only 40 years away from the Jetsons’ world of Rosie the Robot, toothbrushing machines and apartment buildings high above the clouds.
Never my favourite toon I nonetheless watched it over and over again.
Parking in front of the TV started between 5 and 7 AM Saturdays and Sundays and lasted until Mom threw some food at you and kicked you out of the house for the day.
Playdates were unheard of, hell we used to play on construction sites.
Unsupervised bliss.
