Q 01Which studio produced The Jetsons?
Hanna-Barbera
Hanna-Barbera. William Hanna and Joseph Barbera built it as a Space Age mirror image of The Flintstones, their Stone Age hit that had made prime-time cartoons a craze two years earlier.
Q 02How long did The Jetsons last in prime time before cancellation?
One season
One season. Only 24 episodes were made in 1962-63, but the same ones were rerun over and over for the next two decades.
Q 03In 1962 The Jetsons became the first programme ABC had ever broadcast in what way?
In colour
In colour. Hardly anyone saw it that way, though: only a handful of ABC's stations could transmit colour in 1962, so most of the country watched in black and white.
Q 04What is the name of the sky-high metropolis where the Jetsons live?
Orbit City
Orbit City. Its homes and offices stand on adjustable columns so tall that the ground beneath is hardly ever shown.
Q 05What is the name of the building the Jetson family calls home?
Skypad Apartments
Skypad Apartments. Its superintendent is a part-time inventor whose gadgets tend to backfire, and his mechanical assistant ends up courting the Jetsons' maid.
Q 06What is the name of the Jetsons' robot maid?
Rosie
Rosie. She was all the family could afford: Jane passed over fancier robots with British and French accents for an outdated demonstrator model.
Q 07George Jetson's cry of 'Jane, stop this crazy thing!' comes as he is trapped on what?
A runaway treadmill
A runaway treadmill. In the closing credits he is walking Astro on it when the dog bolts after a cat, and George is left whirling round and round, shouting for his wife.
Q 08Astro's growly habit of starting his words with an R was later given to which other cartoon dog?
Scooby-Doo
Scooby-Doo. One actor voiced both dogs, and Astro was saying things like 'I ruv roo, Reorge' seven years before Scooby's 1969 debut.
Q 09What breed is Astro?
Great Dane
Great Dane. George at first refuses to keep him, protesting that their home is no place for a dog, and brings home an electronic pet instead.
Q 10What was Astro's original name when he belonged to millionaire J.P. Gottrockets?
Tralfaz
Tralfaz. After a custody battle in 'Millionaire Astro', the tycoon sees how much the dog loves the Jetsons and gives him back to them.
Q 11How does Astro win his place in the family over George's electronic dog?
He accidentally stops a burglar
He accidentally stops a burglar. The electronic dog, 'Lectronimo, is supposed to do exactly that and fails, so the family hands it over to the police and keeps the stray.
Q 12What does the company George Jetson works for manufacture?
Sprockets
Sprockets. Spacely Space Sprockets and its chief rival spend the series stealing each other's ideas, a feud that usually ends with George in trouble.
Q 13What is Mr. Spacely's first name?
Cosmo
Cosmo. In the 1985 episode 'A Jetson Christmas Carol' the miserly boss plays the Scrooge part, haunted by ghosts after ordering George to work overtime on Christmas Eve.
Q 21What is the name of the rock singer Judy wins a date with in a songwriting contest?
Jet Screamer
Jet Screamer. George loathes the singer and tags along on the date to break it up, but he comes home a fan.
Q 22What is Jane Jetson's running-gag weakness?
Terrible driving
Terrible driving. Her lessons leave her instructor a nervous wreck, and in one episode she ends up sharing a car with an escaped bank robber.
Q 23Which comic strip, whose film star went on to voice Jane, was The Jetsons modelled on?
Blondie
Blondie. The studio's Stone Age hit had borrowed its set-up from The Honeymooners, and for the Space Age it borrowed Blondie's, casting the films' own Blondie, Penny Singleton, as Jane.
Q 14What is the name of Mr. Spacely's business rival?
Cogswell
Cogswell. His firm is forever spying on Spacely's: in one 1985 episode his agent hides inside a robot guard dog, Trojan-horse style, to steal a prototype.
Q 15What does George Jetson's job mostly consist of?
Pushing a button
Pushing a button. That is the running gag: his working week is absurdly short, yet he comes home groaning that the workload is killing him.
Q 16What is George Jetson's job title?
Digital index operator
Digital index operator. In the first episode he boasts of being a 'darn good' one; the grand-sounding title is part of the joke, since the show never lets his work look hard.
Q 17Which nonsense phrase, lifted from Elroy's secret code, becomes a hit song for Judy Jetson's teen idol?
Eep Opp Ork Ah-Ah
Eep Opp Ork Ah-Ah. George swaps Elroy's code for Judy's contest entry to wreck her chances, the gibberish wins anyway, and he ends up drumming along on stage.
Q 18What does Mr. Spacely regularly do to George Jetson in a rage, only to undo it by the episode's end?
Fire him
Fire him. 'Jetson, you're fired!' is the boss's signature bellow, and by the 1980s episodes he is grumbling about twenty years of firing the same man.
Q 19What is DiDi, the confidante Judy Jetson tells her troubles to?
Her robot diary
Her robot diary. DiDi floats beside her and talks back, and in one 1985 episode it is DiDi she confides in when she thinks everyone has forgotten her birthday.
Q 20Where does Elroy go to study astrophysics and star geometry?
Little Dipper School
Little Dipper School. His teacher there is a robot, Miss Brainmocker, and in one episode a classmate's switched report-card tape sends Elroy running away from home.
Q 24Which voice actor played George Jetson's short-tempered boss, Mr. Spacely?
Mel Blanc
Mel Blanc. The voice of Bugs Bunny had lain in a coma after a 1961 car crash; the next year he was bellowing 'Jetson!' as George's tiny, tyrannical boss.
Q 25Who voiced the head of the Jetson household in the original series?
George O'Hanlon
George O'Hanlon. He had auditioned for Fred Flintstone and lost to Alan Reed, but the producers remembered him two years later when their space-age father needed a voice.
Q 26Daws Butler, one of the regular voices of The Jetsons, was also the original voice of which cartoon star?
Yogi Bear
Yogi Bear. Butler built the bear's voice on Art Carney's Ed Norton from The Honeymooners, and he also spoke for Huckleberry Hound and Quick Draw McGraw.
Q 27How do characters in The Jetsons usually place a call, decades before it became everyday technology?
By videophone
By videophone. A typical call from the boss opens with his face filling the screen and a bellow of 'JETSON!', and the flat-screen video chat it imagined in 1962 is now routine.
Q 28Like a live-action sitcom of its day, the original Jetsons episodes were broadcast with what?
A laugh track
A laugh track. Only the original prime-time episodes have one: those made in the 1980s do without, and the 2004 DVD set kept the canned laughter in place.
Q 29Who voiced the Jetsons when the show was revived in 1985?
The original cast
The original cast. All seven leads came back more than two decades on, and the revival ran to 51 new episodes, more than twice as many as the original series.
Q 30What is the name of the springy-legged alien who became the Jetsons' second pet in the 1980s episodes?
Orbitty
Orbitty. He was added for the 1985 revival; one science-fiction encyclopedia calls him annoyingly cute, and a Smithsonian writer dubbed him the Jar Jar Binks of the Jetsons' world.
