Trivia about The Jetsons

The first season for the series was produced and directed by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera.

Cartoons closed in May 1961, several of its animators, including Gerry Chiniquy and Ken Harris, joined Hanna-Barbera to work on the first season.

The series' theme song, by composer Hoyt Curtin, became a pop hit in 1986.

While satirizing Space Age notions of a better tomorrow, the series seems also to have visually codified expectations of the future to a great many viewers: when the twenty-first century arrived, complaints that flying cars and jet packs were missing often mentioned The Jetsons." The show influenced the turn-of-the-millennium show Futurama, which made a number of references to The Jetsons, or reused its tropes.

Boomerang has aired reruns of the show since April 1, 2000.

Cartoon Network aired the show from 1992 to 2004 and returned the series October 2012.
