Just as "The Flintstones" were a cartoon series based on "The Honeymooners", so are "The Jetsons" an update of "Blondie and Dagwood". Penny Singleton, the "Blondie" of all those old wonderful films, is Jane Jetson's voice. And Mr. Dithers can clearly be seen in Mr. Spacely. George Jetson is so like Dagwood Bumstead as well. Next time you watch this wonderful series, look for comparisons to "Blondie". They are there, trust me.
