The Future According To The Jetsons (and why it’s bad!)
Even for a Jedi, there comes a moment to sit back and simply watch. So join me, Jedi Master Derk Popwalker, as I dive into a galaxy of Trailers, Featurettes, and even the occasional Full Movie or two in The Weekend Watch — a little corner of the cosmos where the popcorn is warm, the lightsabers are dimmed, and the fun begins.
“Meet George Jetson.” Just those words will prompt viewers of a certain age to join in singing the show’s catchy theme song. This popular primetime cartoon show 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.

I do animated video essays & deep-dives about cartoons, movies, general geek stuff that I like, in order to become a better writer!
Not really appropriate for kids so any under-13s should head elsewhere!
