The Jetsons
24 episodes (1962-1963) 30m
The Hanna-Barbera production team deftly satirised early-60s America in this animated classic set in 2062. George Jetson's stereotypical nuclear family (complete with super-cool dog) takes on the tribulations of everyday life. Captain Video-style kids' shows, capitalism, family values and social change all get the HB treatment. A later series didn't quite live up to its predecessor's standards.
