Ouch!

Boy, this is getting
in your easy chair the hard way.

Ripe and rippers.

Oh, look, George.

He's bringing you
your pipe and slippers.


Hey!

Out! Out! Out!

N Meet George Jetson M

N Daughter Judy N

N Jane his wife N'

The Jetsons, brought to you by

famous Colgate dental cream
with activated Gardol.


Brushing after eating
with Colgate


helps stop bad breath,
helps fight decay.


Oh, dear, dear, dear.

I hope I'm not late
for my appointment.

These hairdressers
are so temperamental.

And Pierre doesn't
like to be kept waiting.

Good morning, Pierre.

Ah, Mrs. Jetson, no?

Mrs. Jetson, yes.

And I'm sorry I'm a little late.

Oho.
Tut-tut-tut-tut-tut-tut-tut-tut.

Pierre, I'm in an awful
hurry this morning.

Can you do something exciting
with my hair in seconds?

But of course, Mrs. Jetson.

Please be sit down.

I need something new.

This old hairstyle
doesn't do a thing for me.

Relax, madame.

I, Pierre, shall style your
hair with my own two hands.

Something
dramatique, huh, Pierre?

Oui, madame. I shall start
with my latest creation.

The nebulae bouffant.

No, I don't think so.

Uh-uh.

Oh, everyone has that.

No. Makes me look too young.

Too old.

Umm...
too subtle.

Oh, Pierre, I like that!
It's beautiful!

But, madame, that is the
hairdo you had when you came in.

I have done nothing.

Oh, don't be so modest, Pierre.

You're a genius.

Oui, oui. Wow.

I wonder if Judy is home yet.

Oh, hi, Mom!

Hello, dear. Did you
straighten out your room yet?

Not yet, Mother.
But can I change it?

I'm tired of Space Provincial.

Okay, dear. But change to what?

Oh, I think this time
I'll try, uh..

Moon Modern.

Wall. do you Ilka It. dour?

Ooh, it's right on orbit.

I love it.

Is Elroy home from school yet?

Oh, here he is.

Gee, Ma, guess what
followed me home?

Good heavens!

What in the universe
is that, that, that monster?

He's no monster, Mom.

His name is Astro,
and he's just a puppy dog.

A baby puppy dog.

Baby? Well, thank heaven you
didn't bring home his father.

Oh, he doesn't have
a father. He's an only orphan.

Astro, say, "Hi, mom."

Ri, rom.

“And 'RI. rom'? What
kind of talk I: that?


Well, that's baby talk.
See, he's just a puppy.


Yeah, yeah, yeah,
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Can I keep him, Mom, huh?
Can I, please?

And
I don't know. Elroy.


Puppies are a lot of bother.

And this one is so big.

And he must eat an awful lot.

And..

He's such a sweet dog.

And he's real smart
too, mom. Watch.

Shake hands, Astro.

- Rand to not won.
- Huh?


Well, that means,
pleased to meet you.

And he's a great watchdog, too.

Hey, what's going on?

Where did you get the horse?

That's not a horse.

It's a baby puppy,
and he's smart as a whip.

I'll show you.

Okay, Astro.
Heed my command.

Speak!

Isn't he kind of mixed-up?

What do you mean?
That's darn good for a puppy.

Now, watch this.
Ready, Astro?

Point.

Now speak.

How about that?

Imagine how good
he'd be if he practiced.

Where did he come from,
or did Elroy bring him home?

I'm beginning to think
it was the other way around.

Now, Elroy, Astro
is a very fine dog, but..

Please, mom, can't I keep him,
huh? Please?

Aww, mother,
he's so cute. Can't we?

Well, you know how
your dad feels about dogs.


But if you take Astro
out on the dog walk

I'll call your father
and ask him.

Oh, boy!

And don't forget
to mention he's just a puppy.

Rush a ruppy.

Did you hear that?
He said...

Yes, I know. "Rush a ruppy."

How do you like it, Astro?

"Roh, roy! Ris is reat!"

fine“
Oh. boy. till: I: amt?


Yeah.

Oh, gee, daddy's just
gotta let me keep you.

Oh, boy, what a day.

I'm getting punchy
from punching all these buttons.

Now what?

Come on, come on.
Back to work.

No goofing off.

Ah, that's better.

George Jetson.

Televiewer, please.

Huh?

George Jetson.
Televiewer, please.

It's your wife.

Oh, now what do
I have to bring home?

Coming, coming!

I'm sorry to bother you, dear.

Are you busy?

Busy? Take a look
at my button-pushing finger.

- What do you think?
- Poor dear.

Well, the reason I called

is that I represent
a committee of three.

And we have a request.

Okay, honey. What is it?

I'll give you a hint.

Your mother's
coming to visit us?

No. It's for protection.

A policeman.

Uh-uh, it's furry,
and it's got a cold nose.

Oh, an Eskimo.

- "O-
- No. walt. I got It. I yet It.

Your mother ran off
with an Eskimo policeman.

George.

Alright, I give up.
What is it?

“And
I'll let tho commlttoo all you.


It's a dog.

Can we have one, Dad, huh?

Can we have a dog?

Oh, please, not again.

I told you a thousand times

an apartment
is no place for a dog.

I'm sorry,
but the answer is still no.

Well, George,
you don't have to shout.

I was shouting?

Oh, great.
The whole family is sore at me.

Gettin' so a guy
can't put his foot down

without sticking
it in his mouth.

If I don't get a dog,
I'II wind up in the doghouse.

Oh, what a spot. It'll take
a bigger brain than mine

to figure an answer
out to this one.

Hey, that's it. The brain.

I'll use the company computer
to figure out an answer.

Ah, here.
Here now, let me see.

One irate wife..

Plus two kids who want a dog.

Add a husband
who doesn't want a dog

but wants
to keep everybody happy.

And the answer is..

Hmm.

"Apartment-approved
electronic dog."


Yeah, that's it.
I'm glad I thought of it.

An electronic dog.

No feeding. No bathing.

No fleas.
Hah! It's great.

Something like that could make
a dog-lover out of me.

An electronic dog-lover,
that is.

Thanks, paL

Hey, uh, do you sell dogs here?

What kind? Lap, watch,
show or plain mutt?

I want one of those
nuclear-powered

trouble-free electronic dogs.

Oh, that kind. Well, I have
just the thing for you.

It's called,
"the dog of tomorrow."

I'm in a hurry.
I need it today.

Well, in that case,
you can have 'Lectronimo.

- 'Lectroni who?
- 'Lectronimo.

This is our demonstration model.

A new dog guarantee
goes with him


and you'll save money, too.

Ah! Sounds good.

Let's, uh, let's see 'Lectronimo
do his stuff.

Certainly.

Okay, 'Lectronimo, fetch.

Hey, that's pretty good.

Yes, he really sinks his teeth
into his work, doesn't he?

How is he
in the bravery department?

Oh, that's his
biggest selling point.


Especially since the cat
burglar hit town.


The cat burglar?
Who's he?

Oh, it's in all the televiewers.
Here, I'll show you.

"Cat burglar prowls again."

- Mean looking, isn't he?
- Yeah.

Hey, I'd like to see
how 'Lectronimo

would handle a burglar.

Oh, I was afraid you'd ask that.

I'll put on this burglar mask.
He hates burglar masks.

Now, watch.

How I hate this demonstration.
But, boy, what a sales gimmick.

I'm sold. Wrap him up,
or whatever you do with him.

Boy, Elroy will love
'Lectronimo.

Well, g*ng, are we ready
for Operation: Keep Astro?

- Ready.
- Ready.

Retry.

Now, remember. One, we hide Astro
until your daddy gets home.

And two, we wait until
he's in a good mood.

Well, gee, mom,
that could take forever.

Step three,
your daddy meets Astro


and is unable to resist
his winning personality.


Agreed?

- Right.
- Right.

Right.

It's your dad.
Quick! Places, everybody!

Now, remember, act natural.

- Ready, mother.
- Ready, mother.

Ready, rother.

Astro! Quick, Elroy.
He's supposed to be hiding!

I got him, mom!
I got him!

Get in there, Astro, and don't
make a move until we tell you.

Remember, now, not a sound.

Rowwch!

Sorry, Astro!

Remember, everybody, act happy.
We want daddy in a good mood.

Smile.
That's fine.

Now, hold it.

Okay, 'Lectronimo, we are home.

Now, you wait out here 'til
I set the scene. You got it?

Shh! Quiet!

Come in.

Hiya, g*ng.
You still talking to me?

- George!
- Daddy!

Father!

Gee, we are glad you are home!

You are? I thought
you'd still be sore at me.

Sore? Why, whatever for,
George?

Oh, what a great bunch.

A typical, American-type
TV family.

What more could a guy ask for?
I ask you, what more?

How about a typical,
American TV-type dog, dad?

Elroy! Shh!

Well, I've got
a surprise for you.

'Lectronimo!

Gee, dad, we already
have a vacuum cleaner.

That isn't a vacuum cleaner,
Elroy. That's 'Lectronimo.

Our new, no-feed, no-fuss,

nuclear-powered, electronic,
apartment-approved dog.

- Dog?
- Dog?

Dog?

There must be an echo
around here someplace.


I know you thought
I didn't want a dog,

but I just couldn't stand

the disappointed
looks on your faces.

Besides, 'Lectronimo
is just the protection we need

with all kinds of cat burglars
prowling around.

Hey, he zeroed in
on something already.

Rowwch!

Relp! Relp!

What the...

Ye-owch!

Alright, alright.
What's going on around here?

What's this thing on my back?

Oh, that's not a thing, George.
It's a dog.

- His name is Astro.
- Isn't he swell, dad?

A dog?
You call this giraffe a dog?

Out! Out! Out!

Oh, George. Now you've hurt
Astro's feelings.

You haven't even
given him a chance.

I'm giving him a chance
to walk out of here

before I call the city pound.

H. can ho very
friendly, George.


So can an orangutan.

Shake hands with daddy, Astro.

Alright, so he shakes hands.
Great, but..

Ye-ouch!

- What a grip.
- Reased to reet rou.

That's enough, Ash-o.

Show dad to his easy chair.

Ouch!

Boy, this is getting
in your easy chair the hard way.

- Ripe and rippers.
- Oh, look, George.

He's bringing you
your pipe and slippers.


Hey!

Out! Out! Out!

Oh, please, dad,
can't we keep him?

He's only a pup, daddy.
He'll learn.

Look, we just haven't got room
for two dogs in this house.

There's nothing personal,
Astro, but..

Oh, a wise guy, huh?

Goodbye and good riddance!

Roo rye.

Hey, let me in!

Let him in, Astro.

We'll discuss this
at the dinner table.

So, you see, we thought
once you got to meet Astro,

the two of you
could become quite close.

How close can we get?

Oh, he's just trying
to be friendly.

Uh, please pass the salt,
George.


Salt? Okay.

Thanks, dean

Why doesn't this overgrown
baboon sit in the corner

and behave himself
like 'Lectronimo?

Because he likes you, George.

And besides,
I bet Astro can do anything

'Lectronimo can do, and better.

He cannot.

- Hey, why not have a contest?
- Yeah! The best dog stays.

What do you say, dear?
Sounds like a good idea.

Why not? What can I lose
but him?

Yuck!

Now, I'll be scorekeeper
and referee.

- And there'll be no favoritism.
- Aww.

Okay, now, places.

When I say go,

the dog who gets my slippers
first, scores.


- Ready?
- Retry.


- You can do it, boy.
- Go get him, Astro!

Go!

That's good work, 'Lectronimo.

That's one for our side.

Now, I'll test
your sense of smell.

Close your eyes
while I hide this bone.

And the first dog to find it,
scores.


Okay, it's hid.

On your marks, get set, go!

Good boy, 'Lectronimo.

Ye-ouch!

You're a little late,
aren't you, buster?

Okay, and for the final test,

we'll try a few
of the standard commands.

Sit up!

Point!

Speak!

Well, I guess that settles it.

'Lectronimo is the winner
in a clean sweep.

Well, I guess you won
fair and square, daddy.

Goodbye, Astro.

Oh, now, wait a minute.
Why all the long faces?

'Lectronimo won, didn't he?

Good night, George.

Oh, now, come on. It was your idea
to have a contest, wasn't it?

Come on, Astro.
You understand, don't you, pal?

You know, fortunes of w*r
and all like that, huh?

- Goodbye, Astro.
- Rye.

- Ro rong.
- So long. I'm sorry.

But that's the way
the dog biscuit crumbles.

Rye-rye.

- Goodbye, pal.
- Rye, ral.

- Bye. I'll be seeing you.
- Roo rye.

Hey, what the.. Hey!

Hey, let me in! What's goin'
on around here? Let me in!


Alright, wise guy.
Out! Out! Out!

Oh, come on, George.

The least you could do
is let him stay the night.

It's cold outside.

Okay, okay. He stays for one
night, and one night only.

But after that,
it's out! Out! O-U-T!

Good night, Ash-o.

You understand, honey,

I have nothin' against
Astro personally.

He does sort of grow
on you after a while,

I mean, like a kodiak bear.

George, it's o'clock
in the morning.

Will you please go to sleep?

And you gotta admit,
the dog is some kind of a nut

now, don't you?

Just go to sleep, George.

Alright, alright.
I might as well.


Probably have
dog-mares all night.

- Good night, Janie.
- Good night.

I wonder why they
call me the cat burglar?

I mean, why not
some name with class?

Like, the Phantom or the Spook
or something like that.

Besides, there's only
one thing I hate more than cats,

and that's dogs.

That's why I cased
this Jetson joint first.

No dogs.

Quiet as a mouse.

Well, this will be a cinch.

Gee, what a lumpy carpet.

I'II clean out the place
and be gone before..

Oh, no! It's one of them
nuclear-powered dogs!

Help!
Let me outta here!

Help! Help!

George. George,
what is it? What's going on?

Oh, it's just 'Lectronimo
havin' a nightmare, I hope.

Well, well,
wake him up or something.

- See what's wrong. -
Alright, alright, okay, okay.

Those darn electronic dogs
att*ck anything with a mask on.

Hey, what's going on?
Who are you?

Here, pal.
Wear it in good health.

Hey, you're the cat burglar!

'Lectronimo, good boy.
There he goes.

Now, go get him.
Go get him.

Hey, wait!
Wait! Not me!

Ye-e-ouch!

I'm not
the cat burglar! I'm-

Ouch!

Help! Help!

Hey, dad. Could you turn
down the TV? I can't sleep.

It's not the TV, Elroy.
There's a burglar in the house.

A burglar? Oh, boy!

Help! 'Lectronimo's blown
a fuse! Do something!

Don't worry, dad!
Astro will save you.

Hey, Astro, wake up!
Wake up!

There's a burglar in the
house! This is your big chance.

Help! Help!
Somebody do something!

Ouch! Get him off of me!

I'm getting out
of this nut house!

That dog has
snapped his power line.

He thinks I'm the cat burglar.

[Bung] Calllng car . Calllng car .
Como In .


Car calling in.
What's up, Sarge?

Investigate complaint of trouble
over at the Skypad Apartments.

Right, Sarge.
I'm on my way.

Help, help!
Police, help!

Halt, in the name of the law.

Oh, officer,
you're just in time.

Yeow!

What are you,
some kind of an astro-nut?

Oh, no. There's a burglar
up in my apartment, officer.

Look, come on. You gotta come
with me. Hurry up, will you?

Hurry, he's dangerous!

Stop, in the name of the law!

Hold it, Mac! Freeze!

Yeowch!

Okay, masked man. Let's go down
to the station and have a talk.

What's your name?

Who? I mean, what,
what, what? Who?

You.
What's your name?

Ah. ah.
Goofs. Jolson. omen.


No kidding, I thought you
were the Lonesome Stranger.

Don't you think you're a little
old for Halloween gags, George?

Oh, this is no gag,
officer. No kidding.

There's a burglar running
around my apartment.

Burglar, huh?

Okay, suppose we go up and see.

Then we'll go down
to the station.

Oh, Judy, do you really think
there's a burglar out there?

Ooh, I hope so, mom.

Maybe I'll get a chance
to try out my judo lessons.

But, Astro, there's
a burglar in the house!

Aren't you gonna do something?

Rurglar? Yikes!

Yippee! He did it!
Astro captured the burglar!


Astro captured the burglar!

Hooray for Astro!

I knew he'd do it.

But what happened
to your father?

Yeah. Where's Dad?

- There he is.
- Sorry to bother you, folks,

but I caught this masked
guy trying to sneak in here.

Do you want
to register a complaint?

Jane, will you
tell him who I am?

And tell this
tin dog who I am, also?

That's no guy, officer.
That's my husband.

He was mistaken for a burglar
by that electronic dog.

Yeah, and then my dog captured
the real burglar. Look!

Astro caught him?

Hey, that's the cat burglar.

That dog caught
the notorious cat burglar.


Rurglar?

Gee, dad, everything worked
out swell, didn't it?

The police department
have their first

nuclear-powered police dog.

Courtesy of the Jetsons.

And it looks like you found
a lifelong friend, George.

Are you going to let
Astro stay for good, dad?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, sure.

But does he have
to sit so close to me?

Yuck!

The Jetsons,

brought to you by...

Help! Help!

Jane, stop this crazy thing!

Jane!

Help! Jane!
