There was a joke I remember in the episode they bought Rosie, their maid-bot: Jane said she was exhausted by all the cooking and cleaning while simply pressing two buttons that said “cooking” and “cleaning”.
I also enjoy the conspiracy theory that Jetsons and Flintstones exist at the same time, but Jetsons are upper class and live in cities above the nuclear rubble, and mutant, talking, dinosaur adjacent monsters below.
The Jetsons meets the Flintstones proves that. I own dvd and remember it when I was kid. Apparently Leroy invited a time machine but he really didn't its just telporter to surface.
Nah in the movie it was a time machine, I do like the theory though.
He called it a time machine but I like the idea that he and his parents just didn't realize it isn't.
Fuck. Now I have that "meet the flintstones" song stuck in my head and have to rethink my childhood media consumption at the same time.
Thinking about it now... Rosie the Robot was presented to the viewer as a being that was basically sentient and fully self aware. In fact, she could and did fall in love at one point. Like... the family owned her. She was a possession. Was that slavery? Is the future depicted in "The Jetsons" a slave based one?
