While the premise of doing a futuristic equivalent to "The Flintstones" was solid, the writers/animators forgot about A LOT of what made "The Flintstones" work. Have you ever noticed how the Jetsons had NO FRIENDS? There was no Barney to George's Fred. But then, who would want to be friends with a wimp who kept losing his job? Orbit City was so underpopulated that, on the episode "Family Fallout," the Jetsons faced off against his boss Mr. Spacely's family, something that would NEVER happen in real life.
