The Jetsons,

brought to you by
Scotch brand Magic Tape.

Looks frosty on the roll,
invisible on the job.

Scotch brand Magic Tape,
in the green plaid dispenser.

None of these scripts
are any good.

Well, what do we do, boss?

The agencies demand a new show.

Alright, alright.

Don't panic, I'll call you back.

Let's see, now.

Secretary, barber,

yeah, here it is. Writers.

I'll bet, uh, five bucks.

I'll see that and raise you.

Those
writers, goofin' off again.

I'll fix that.

I've just read these scripts
you guys turned in

as ideas for our new show.

There's not one of them
worth doing!

"TV Geometry Lessons."

"Chemistry Course.“
"Animals Of The World."

What are you trying to do to me?

Uh, but, chief, those shows
are all educational.

Educational?

Whatever happened
to entertainment?

Well, we've been writing
educational programs so long..

We've forgotten entertainment.

Our mission has been
to educate people.

You've educated them so much,
they're too smart to watch TV.

Uh, how about a cowboy series?

Or a doctor program?

Hmm, it's tempting.

But we don't dare
start that stuff again.

That's what brought on
educational programs.

Well, let's go to lunch.

We'll go to the Skypark Casino.

Maybe the fresh air
will clear our heads.

Table for four, please.

Table for four.

Well, that's a nice table.

Be seated, gentlemen.

We'll sit out on the terrace.

Four..

For the terrace.

- What a view.
- Oh, uh, waitress?

- Yes. sir?
- “no moonglows on the rocks.

Two Jupiters, dry.

Two Jupiters, dusty.

Two moonglows, stoned.

Watch it, Charlie!

After a lunch like that,

you guys should be
cracking with ideas.

But, boss, you take away
cowboys and doctor shows,

it leaves a big hole.

Yeah, but..

Hey-hey, look at that
down there in the park.

The kid with the dog.

Now do a tailspin, Astro.

Ready? Go!

- Oh, he's cute.
- Yeah. That's a kick.

Nothing more appealing
than a boy and his dog.

It has, like, warmth.

Yeah. That's it!

A boy and his dog. Spaceboy!

That'll be our new series.

There's been nothing
like it since..

What's his name?
Brassie? Tassie?

Oh, it's been so long ago.

But, boss, it's got to be
educational

It is. It is.
It teaches a lesson.

Be nice to your dog,
and he won't bite you.

That's real education.

Now, you guys get going
on the script,

and I'll get the kid signed up.

What an idea.

Spaceboy... Zoom

and his dog.

They're so darn cute,
I can hardly stand it.

Hello, little boy.

Rrr! Ret rost!

Did he say something?

I think he said, "Get lost."

Yeow!

What devotion.

It gets me right here,

and here.

It's about time Elroy
started home from the park.

I'll just tune in his frequency.

Oh, my mother's tuning in
my frequently.

Calling Elroy Jetson.

Elroy, come in.

Yes, mom?

It's time to come home, dear.

And you too, Astro.

- Okay, mom.
- Rokay, rom.

And make sure your
antigravity belts are fastened.

And, for heaven's sakes,
stay off the freeway.

Right, mom.
Let's go, Astro.

Mom doesn't like
to be kept waiting.

Elroy Jetson, eh?

Well, I'll follow him

and get his mother
to sign a contract.

Turn on the old
antigravity belt..

And away we go.

- I'II race you h*m*. Astra.
- Ralrlght.

A boy and his dog.
How basic can you get?

That's solid entertainment.

Ah-ha! They're going into
the Skypad Apartments.

I'll give
'em a couple of minutes.

Oh, Elroy, how many times
must I tell you

to turn off those
antigravity belts in the house?

I forgot, mom.

Astro, I think
you're puttin' on weight.

Rorry.

Just a minute.

Now, who could that be?

Yes?

Mrs. Jetson? Are you there?

Yes. What is it?

I'm Mr. Transistor,

president of
Asteroid TV Productions.

Oh, I don't watch TV anymore.
It's over my head.

Why don't you bring back
doctor and cowboy shows?

Oh, we have something better.

Eh, may I come in
and discuss it?

Well, alright,
Mr. Transistor.

But I'm not interested
in any more education.

Well, I don't blame you.

Now, here's what I have in mind.

I can't believe it!

Elroy, star of a series on TV.

As Spaceboy Zoom
and his dog, Astro.

Ouch!

Just look how devoted he is.

Yes, isn't he?

- Oh, E-Elroy?
- Yes, mom?

Can you stop that
space train for a second?

Yes, mother.

How would you like to be
on TV as Spaceboy Zoom

and his dog, Astro?

Okay, mom.

He went for it big, big, big!

He'll be great, Mrs. Jetson.

Just sign this contract,
and I'll get things started.

Thank you, Mrs. Jetson.

I'll be going now
to get things started.

Oh, uh, th-there
was something else.

Now, let's see. Oh, yes.

- Would you mind?
- Oh, of course.

Heel, Astro. Heel.

Oh, I'm sorry.
Astro ripped your pants.

It's nothing.

He's just over-devoted.

Goodbye.

Polka-dot shorts?

Imagine. Elroy, star
of his own television show.

I'll call George.
That's what I'll do.

I'll call George
and I'll tell him,

and I'll bet
he'll get all excited.

He's not calm like me.

Australian Ratchet Company,
Melbourne, Australia, Earth.

Gentlemen, your order
for Spacely Sprockets

will at any moment
be in Melbourne.

We shipped them out
seconds ago.

And when you need more
sprockets, remember

Spacely Space Sprockets,
the sprocket that's easy

on your pockets,
are the best on the market.

Yours truly, George Jetson.

Oh, no. Now, where did she go?

Oh, boy, these coffee breaks

seem like they come
every ten minutes.

Yak, yak, yak, yak,
yak, yak, yak.

- “No!“
- “fl Ya. sh. It. Sputum?

I'd like to see you
in my office.

Ah, right away, sir.

Oh, boy. Oh, boy!
I bet it's about my raise.

I sure could use
some extra dough.

I've been waiting for this day
a long, long time.

Well, it's about time
you got here, Jetson.

I suppose there was
a lot of traffic in the tube.

Oh, no, sir, Mr. Spacely.

Jetson, these reports
of yours are all fouled up.

You'll have to stay tonight
and get them straightened out.

Oh, but, Mr. Spacely,
I... I thought you called me

in here about my raise.

Raise?

Why, you must be kidding.

You're the shiniest goldbrick
this company ever had.

But I'll tell you
what I'll do, Jetson.

Ah, what's that, sir?

I'll use my influence
with the board of directors

to prevent them
from cutting your salary.

Next to a broken leg,
the best thing is a boss

with a sense of humor.

Oh, uh, Jetson.

There's a personal call
for you on the phone.

And you know I don't like
personal calls at the office!

I know. I know, sir. I know.

- Oh, hi, honey.
- George.

George, you'll never
guess what happened.

Elroy is going to have
his own television show.

Yeah, honey, but the boss
doesn't"

Own television show!

Yes, George, it's called,

"Spaceboy Zoom
And His Dog, Astro."

And, George,
he'll get , a week.

Five.. Fi-five.. Fiv..

Fiv-five thousand!

Now, don't get excited, George.
You just be calm.

See you later. Goodbye.

Fee-foo-foo-five..
Fee-fee-TV..

TV-TV s h ow.

Five thousand!

Wowee!

Jetson, are you
out of your mind?

Yipee!

Jetson! Jetson!

You're fired!

Thank you, Mr. Spacely.

I didn't know just how
to tell you I was quitting.

Quitting? Now, wait.

Wait, Jetson. Uh, George.
Eh-h, Georgie.

Uh, tell you what I'll do.

Uh, I'll give you
fringe benefits.

- A raise?
- No.

But, I'll guarantee
you won't get a salary cut.

Oh, thanks, Mr. Spacely,
but, no thanks.

I have my son's career
to manage.

He's got his own TV series.

"Spaceboy Zoom
And His Dog, Astro."

- See you around, Spacely.
- TV show?

Eh, I can't believe it.

Oh, wait till my wife
hears about this.

Are you sure, Cosmo?

Eh, yes, dear. I, uh,
I checked with the TV station.

Jetson's son Elroy is going
to have his own program

"Spaceboy Zoom
And His Dog, Astro."

A fine thing.

George Jetson gets his son on TV

and what do you do?

You let one of your
employees hit it big.

Well, uh, he's not an employee.
I-I fired him.

Look at your son over there.
Arthur's loaded with talent.

I wanna be on TV.

I can do anything
better than Elroy.

And my dog, Zero,
is smarter too.

Play dead, Zero.

Bang.

Hey, that's very, very good.

Oh, that's not all
Zero can do. Watch.

Cosmo, I don't care
how you do it,

but you get Arthur
on TV, or else..

Y-y-yes, dear.

N Who needs Space“,
and his sprockets N

N Which are easy
on your pockets M

N When your son
is a'N star? NM

Oh, come on, now!

Let me in! Let me in!

They never give a guy a chance
to get on the freeway.

You just gotta
force your way in.

Oh, well, the traffic will
thin out by the time I turn off.

I'll go up the back way,
into the kitchen.

Here we are. Jetson.

Surprise!
I'm home, Janey honey.

Hey! What are you doing
in my apartment, Mr. Lunar?

It's my apartment.

You pressed the wrong button
again, Jetson.

Ah, let's see, now.

This makes the third
time this week, doesn't it?

Oh. boy.
What a put that Jason R.

Can I talk to you
while you're working, mama?

Oh, certainly, Judy. I'm just
washing windows. What is it?

Well, is it true about Elroy?

Is he really gonna be
on television?

It sure is.

Your brother is going to be

Spaceboy Zoom
and his dog, Astro.

Now, what do you think
of that, Judy?

- Yuck!
- Judy!

Gosh, mom, it's bad enough

having a kid brother
around the house

without having one
on television.

Well, young lady, with your
brother a television star,

he could put you on the show
for a guest spot.

Hey, I never thought of that!

Oh, Elroy?

Oh, dear.

- I-ll.
- Can I help you?

Nah. Girls don't know anything
about scooters.

Oh, you're the best brother
a girl ever had.

I'd do anything for you, Elroy.

Anything at all.
Would you do something for me?

No, you're not gonna be
on my TV show.

Kid brothers!

Come on, Elroy,
this is the big day

they start sh**ting your series.

Let's zoom!

- Goodbye.
- Goodbye.

Goodbye.

Why, Judy, I do believe
you're jealous of your brother.

Jealous? Huh, me?
Jealous of Elroy?

Just because he's on TV?

Jealous?

That's a hot one. Jealous?

Yes, I'm jealous.

I'm only the big sister
of Spaceboy Zoom!

Now, there's nothing
to worry about, Elroy.

Your dad'll be with you
all the time.

I'll probably have some valuable
suggestions to help the show.

Roh, rother.

Well, here we are.
Asteroid TV Productions.

Well, well, well, well, well.
You must be Mr. Jetson.

Thank you for coming, sir.
How are you, Elroy?

We got a great
script for our kickoff show.

It's going to be..

Yeow!

Please, Elroy, call off Astro.

Down, Astro. Down, boy.

Come here, Astro. Heel.

Such a devoted animal.

Oh, boy! Thirty-nine weeks
of those sharp teeth.

Well, time to leave.

We'll go over to location
on the studio bus

with the rest of the cast.

Uh, Mr. Transistor,
I have a suggestion.

Yes?

Well, now, since Elroy
is the star,

we don't wanna give him
an inferiority complex.

At his age?

It would boost his morale
if he went in a vehicle

more suited to his position.

Like a chauffeur-driven
limousine?

A chauffeur-what?

Okay, okay, anything to get
this show started. Come on.

We are approaching
the location set, Mr. Jetson.

Fine, fine.

Ah, that Mr. Transistor
seemed quite pleased

with my suggestions
for this limousine ride.

Ah-ha! Here we are
at the planet Jupiter, Elroy.

This is the location
for your show, son.

We're coming in
for a landing, Mr. Jetson.

Please hurry, Mr. Jetson.
These Jupiter days are short.

Ah, one moment, Mr. Transistor.

I might have some suggestions
to improve the script.

No kidding.

It, uh, it doesn't
read very well.

Of course not.

You had it upside-down.

Oh? Oh.

Uh-oh.

Oh, boy. Why do these things
have to happen to me?

Charlie, will you call
Elroy and Astro

out of the dressing room?
We're ready to roll.

Uh, yes, sir. Elroy, Astro,
on the set, please.

- Coming. -
The kid looks great.

Now, there's nothing
to worry about, Elroy.

Daddy will be close by
all the time.

Places, everyone.

That's why I had that
space helmet put on you, buster.

Argh! Phooey!

Hey, get that number three
camera into position.

Ah, yes, sir.

Camera three ready, sir.

Alright, Elroy,
come by the camera

and give your yell
for the title sh*t.

Spaceboy Zoom!

And His Dog, Astro!

Room!

Uh..

- I have a suggestion to make.
- Yes?

Well, instead of having Elroy
yell at that point...

Hold it. Hold that pose.

I'll be right back.
Oh, Charlie?

Do you think we could rig up
the old robot

for the mad scientist routine?

For him? But, boss,
he looks like such a nice guy.

We'll never get this show going
with him around.

- Well, okay.
- Good. Get ready.

Mr. Jetson, I have
big plans for you.

I can see you
as the mad scientist.

Of outer space.

Me? George Jetson, a star?

The mad scientist.

Of outer space.

Great. We'll get you started
in Elroy s first episode.

Now, Elroy, this scene

is where the mad scientist
sends a robot after you.

But you press a button
on the robot

and it turns on
the mad scientist.

- Got it?
- Yes, sir.

Good. Get flying, Spaceboy.

And take Spacemutt with you.

Spaceboy Zoom and away!

And Astro, room..

And aray!

Great.

Okay, mad scientist,

send the robot after Spaceboy.

There goes Spaceboy.

Go get him, Mad Robot.

Oh, knock it off.

Knock it off, mad scientist.
You're out of the scene.

- Hey, is that all I do?
- Keep your mustache on.

As soon as the robot gets
closer, Spaceboy will swing up

and press a button on the robot.

Then the robot comes down
to take revenge.

Hey, look, Spaceboy's
about to push the button.

There. He did it.

Ooh! He sure looks mad.

Hey, by the way,
who does he take revenge on?

- The mad scientist.
- Hey, wait. That's me!

Help! Cut the scene!

Cut!

Yeow! Oww!

Ouch! Ooh! Yeouch!

Mr. Jetson, you were great,
just great.

Mr. Transistor, I quit.

It worked. He's quit.

Yeah, boss, but look..

I mean, look
who else is quitting.

Who cares? As long as..

Oh, no.

I quit too, dad.

Let's go home and watch TV.

We're ruined.
There's no other boy on Jupiter.

You and your bright idea
to make Jetson quit.

You're fired.

Hey. Psst! Hey, Jetson.

Uh, Mr. Spacely,
what are you doin' here?

I heard
you were on Jupiter, George,

and-and only you
can help me out.

With what?

My wife won't let me
in the house

until I get Arthur on TV.

Uh, would you please
put Arthur in Elroy's series?

Uh, just a bit part
would be okay. Please, George.

Well, I'll tell you what,
Mr. Spacely,

because you've been
so nice to me,

I'II pull Elroy out
and put Arthur in as the star.

George, you do this for me,

and you can have
your old job back

with a nice, guaranteed
no salary cut.

Ah, you're all heart,
Mr. Spacely.

Oh, and one more thing.

Make suggestions
to the director.

He loves suggestions.

Oh, thanks, Jetson.

Thanks. I will.

Como on. I'll at It up for you.

Uh, Mr. Transistor,
this is my boss, Mr. Spacely.

He and his son have agreed
to take over the series.

Well, uh, what do you think,
Charlie?

Why not? I mean,
you've seen one kid and his dog,

you've seen 'em all.

Hmm. It's a deal.

I've always been crazy
about television.

And I've got lots of ideas, too.

I-I'II rewrite the scripts,
uh, set up the cameras.

- In fact, I'II help you direct.
- Charlie.

I know, boss. I know.

I'll put the robot back together
for the mad scientist bit.

Right.

Spaceboy Spacely, zoom.

And his dog, Zero!

Great! Okay, mad scientist,

send the robot after Spaceboy.

This is wonderful.

I've always wanted to be
in show biz.

There goes Spaceboy!

Go get him, Mad Robot.

Hey, look, Arthur
pressed the button.

And here comes the robot

after the mad scientist.

H-h-help!

Cut the scene!

Cut!

Ouch! Ow, aah!

Woo! Ouch! Yeouch!

Oh, I can't stand it.

Mr. Spacely, you better quit.

It's too rough on you.

What? And give up show biz?

N-never.

Ow! Ooh! Aah! Aah!

The Jetsons,

brought to you by...

Help! Help!

Jane, stop this crazy thing!

Jane!

Help! Jane!
