I thought too that we would be living in Space Needle style homes, having food immediately made at the stroke of a button, a robot housekeeper, and a self-organizing wardrobe. While most things have stayed pretty much the same, the Jetsons was a futuristic version of the family featuring George and his wife, Jane Jetson, living a space needle designed home. They traveled space by motorized planes. Cars is non-existent and travel to other planets occurred regularly. Anyway, the show was a perfect companion piece to the Flintstones and both made by the same company. There was some interaction between the shows and the families differences but there were the similarities.
