The Jetsons is an American animated sitcom in 1962 to 1963. It was a counterpart to The Flintstones. While the Flintstones live in a world with machines powered by birds and dinosaurs, the Jetsons live in a futuristic utopia of elaborate robotic contraptions, aliens, holograms, and whimsical inventions. New episodes were produced from 1985 to 1987.
They live in the 21st century.
