The Jetsons (1962-1963): Hanna-Barbera’s animated sitcom about an American family living in the year 2062 featured flying cars, floating cities and a robot named Rosey. A second series was produced in the 1980s.
Which means that we only have to wait another 49 years for flying cars!
The stamp design, poster and text are from one of my favourite student projects. Each stamp depicts an iconic science fiction TV series from the 1960s. For a recap on the project, click here.

Grew up with George and the gang, love them, great art!
This is great! The hubby and I were just saying the other day how we are suprised this has not been re-done since so many shows have…I remember this being very popular when I was young
It’s funny how some get overlooked… although I’m really quite happy that a few of the old shows have stayed ‘retro’ and quaint — a little time capsule of the ’60s (or whenever). Not everything benefits from being remade (I’m thinking, in particular, of the Lost in Space movie). But, having said that, long live Doctor Who!
I remember this, too……but I don’t think I was all that “into” it back then. The flying cars might be fun, though!
Hi : ) Thanks for dropping by my little blog. I wasn’t that “into” The Jetsons either… but a cartoon with flying cars and a robot maid can’t be all bad!
Hilarious, and a great project! I remember the Jetsons well. The sex-role stereotyping was so blatent that I was aware of it even as a child watching the cartoon! It would probably be hysterical to see now.
Very fun! A truly classic cartoon series. I grew up with it, and recently I’ve been playing episodes for my five-year-old daughter–who, not surprisingly, loves it. And the entire idea is brilliant! I also very much like the image for “The Twilight Zone”–another truly great series.
