The Jetsons,

brought to you by...

Yow! Aah!

Whee!

Oh, boy another teenager, or
maybe one of those space sports.

Howdy, son.
What can I do for ya?

Okay, what's the excuse
this time, speedy?

On your way to report
a fire, or did the mayor

ask you to rush
into a big conference?

- Beg your pardon?
- Don't get smart.

Doing , in a , zone,

doing tricks like you're
in a space circus.

Come on, let's hear
your license.

Well, now, sonny, I don't see
how that's possible.

- Driving without a license?
- Well, only temporarily.

I, uh, I went off
without it, see.

I just retired back home.

And now I'm on my way to visit
my grandson, George Jetson.

- Never mind that. -
Just as you say, sonny.

And stop calling me sonny!

No need to shout, sonny.
I ain't deaf.

I'm only years old.

And you left
your license behind, huh?

Like I said, guess
I was a mite excited.

Won't happen again, sonny.

Mr. Sonny, I mean.

Look, you gotta understand
something, old timer.

Call me Montague.
Sounds more friendly.

You have to do that?

Good for the circulation.
You ought to try it.

There's nothing wrong
with my circulation.

Didn't say there was.

Come on, try it.
Come on, come on.

If I let you go old..
I mean, Montague.

You gotta promise me
to take it easy.

You're not as young as you were.

I got plenty of good years
left, young fella.

Not the way you're driving,
you haven't.

Well, we'll forget it this once.
But remember, slow down.

- And no more kid tricks.
- If you say so. Much obliged.

Always nice to stop and pass
the time of day with strangers.

And if you're ever around the
Skypad Apartments in town,

look me up, Montague Jetson.

Solong!

, and still
acting like a man of .

Whoa!

Afternoon, ma'am.
Having trouble?

Oh, it won't go.
I just don't know what's wrong.

Well, now, ma'am,
we'll soon find out.

Oh, you're terribly kind.

I guess you know all about
all makes of cars.

Nope, never saw one
of these before in my life.


But, the way I figure, you never
know what you can do till you try.

Here's your trouble, ma'am.

It must have got sucked into
the retransfrangrator.


Gesundheit, birdie.

Oh, I just don't know
how to thank you, sir.

Forget it, ma'am.

Allow me to introduce myself,
Montague Jetson,

on my way to visit my grandson
George at the Skypad Apartments.

Oh, well, I'm Emily Scopes.

Pleased to meet you,
Mr. Jetson.

The pleasure is mutual,
and if you're ever

in the neighborhood,
be sure and drop in.

Oh, I will.

Mighty nice young girl.

What she say her name was?

Ah, well..

Well, grandpa's rocking chair
is all set up.

You wanna try it out, Elroy?

Uh-huh, you first, pop.

Alrighty!

Contact.

Help! Whoa!
Slow down!

Whoa! Hey, how do you stop
this darn thing?

Hang on, pop!
Hang on!

I'll go pull out the plug.

Hi dear, we're back.

Yeah, so I see.

And I'm bankrupt. What'd you do?
Buy out the whole store?

Don't you wanna see
the hats we bought, daddy?

I can't wait.

George, this one's called
Moonscape. isn't it lovely?

And how's this dad?
The Cosmonautress.

Or here, Venus off the face.

Venus off the face?
Yuck.

Nan-
Oh. I know you'd Ilka It.


Daddy this one's called
the Nuclear Look.

How do you like them, dear?

Well, just answer me
one question.

How come you're rushing
Halloween this year?

Oh, daddy, how old-fashioned
can you get?

The whole idea
is to look different.

Well, you can relax then.
You sure do look different.

George, what's this?

That's a rocking chair
for great-grandpa.

Oh, that's nice.

George, shouldn't he
have been here by now?

You know how old folks drive.

He's probably puttering along
scared to go over , .

- Grandpa!
- Grandpa Jetson!

Hi, kiddies.

Hi, Judy my darling,
Elroy, my boy.

Well, I'm here.

George, something tells me
that rocking chair

isn't going to see much action.

Hi, great-grandpa.
Have a nice nap?

Who was nappin'?
I was having a snack.

UN!“
But no just had lunch.


Oh, you call those little
sandwiches lunch?

Not enough nourishment
to keep a bird flyin'.

What you doin' Judy?

The Swivel.
It's the latest.

You call that dancin'?

Watch this. Flip on my
antigravity button and..

Geronimo!

This is more like it!

Why, great-grandpa!
You're good!

Ah, your great-grandmother
and I won the moonball contest

three years runnin'.
We were good!

Oh.
That's enough, grandpa.

Why are you stoppin'?
I was just getting warmed up.

Ugh. I-I-I just remembered I

I-I have to go over
to my girlfriend's.

Eww. Gosh!

What's the matter,
young fella, my lad?

Why ain't you out playing?

Nobody to play with.

Well, I like that.
I'm here!

Oh, sure, great-grandpa.
Ijust meant...

You meant somebody
your own age, huh?

Well, I'm available, anyway.

- Now, what would you like to play?
- Space ball.

See, I got to stay in shape for the
Little Dipper League, you know?

I play left sky
for the Space Cubs.


Good for you, sonny.

Now, you go get your equipment
and I'll meet you outside.

Get set, Elroy.

Here comes my fast one.

Strike one!

Watch out for this one, Elroy.

It's my zigger-zagger.

- Where is it -
Look at your bat, sonny.

Okay, here comes an easy one.

Uh-oh, it's gonna hit
the window!

Relax, sonny.

You're out!

Now, promise you won't overdo it

when we get
to the bowling alley, grandpa.

Oh, I'll take it easy, Georgie.

You know, bowling looks simple,
but it takes a lot of skill.

If I do say so myself,
I'm pretty good at it.

So now, you watch me, grandpa.
I'll give you some pointers.

Mighty kind of you, Georgie.

"Milky Way Bowling Center."

"We never close."

Looks like a fun place, Georgie.

I'll go first, grandpa,
so you can get the hang of it.

Is that the way, Georgie?

Well...

It-it always take a few frames
to get the feel of the alley.

And now, it's
your turn, grandpa.

Hey, one at a time, grandpa!

This way saves time.

Three strikes!

Did I do it right, Georgie?

Honey, I tell you, there's no
keeping up with the old boy.

Oh, George, it's all in
the way you handle grandpa.

Most of what he does
is just showing off.

Ha!

Well, certainly it is.

You have to pretend
to go along with him.

Humor him, and as soon as you do,
I'll bet he'll slow right down

to where a man
his age should be.


- You wanna bet?
- I'll do better than that.

Judy and I will go out
sky skiing with him tomorrow.

Look! No hands!

No feet!

No teeth!

Ain't this fun, Janie?

That's the old
zing, that's the old spirit.


How about that, granddaughter?
Like to try it?

- Get me off!
- What say?

Help!

Ain't this fun?

No. I just want to go home.

Oh, what'll we do, George?

I don't think
I'll last out grandpa's visit.

What's on your mind, Astro?

Ri, Rorge.

Astro! Will you cut that out?

Oh, George. You've hurt
his feelings.

Oh, I'm sorry, Astro.
I didn't mean anything.

Rokay.

Hey, I got an idea.

How would you like
to go for a nice walk

in the park with grandpa?

Roof! Rike randpa.

That ought
to keep them both busy.

“Department of Asteroids
recreation area."

Whoa, that's for us.
Eh, Ash-o?


Right, randpa.

Go get it, boy.
Fetch the stick.

Fetch the stick.

Here we go.
Right over that billboard.

Go get it boy.

Good boy, Astro!

Uh-oh.

Howdy, sonny.
I see you're a dog lover, too.

I should've known.

- Is this your stick?
- Yup.

- This your dog?
-
Yup.

Do you know
he hasn't got a license?

Uh, we'll have to take care
of that right away.

Anything else, sonny?

Yes. Please, stay off my b*at.
Sheesh!

I beg your pardon, but could you
tell me what time it is, please?

You betcha, girlie.

When you hear the tone, the
time will be : and seconds.


- Thank y'all.
- Oh, don't mention it.

Aww, mighty cute little fella.

Thank you.
It's a girl.

My, that's a very cute
little ol' dog.

Thank you, miss.

Say howdy do, Astro.

Rowdy roo.

My name is Jetson ma'am.
Montague Jetson.

I'm Celeste Skyler.
Hello, there.

Do you..
Oh. no I guess you wouldn't.

Wouldn't what?

Know of a reliable
babysitting
service?

But I guess you wouldn't.

Nope, been a good many years
since I had the need of one.

You and your husband planning
on going out this evening, eh?

Well, we've been planning
to go away for a short trip.

Sort of a second honeymoon.

Ah, and you got
nobody to leave the baby with?


Cheer up, little lady.
You have now.

- Thtlo ol' you?
- Yup!

[chuckling Little ol' me.
Glad to do it.

I'll take the little lady
to my grandson's.

She'll like it there.

I-I don't know how to thank you.

Oh, no! Grandpa's really gone
out of orbit.

That girl kissed him!

Wait till I tell mom!

- Judy, you must be mistaken.
- I wasn't, mother.

It was great-grandpa, alright.

Maybe he was just
taking something out of her eye.

Mother! I know a kiss
when I see one.

Oh, dear.

Doggone it, Astro. Know what?

Went and forgot
to get your license.

Rorgot my ricense?

I know, maybe I can
get it over the phone.

- I'll call the License Bureau.
- Rokay.

Hello? License Bureau?

Is that Grandpa?
Who could he be talking to?

But all I want is a license.

Five dollars? Now, that's a lot
of money for just a license.

Huh!
Worth it? Well, sure.

Uh, okay.
Color of hair, gray.


Weight, around pounds.

I don't know.
No, never bitten anybody.

Gentle as a lamb.
Well, we're in kind of a hurry.


Oh, alrighty, I'll come on down.

Oh, that must be for the girl
Judy saw grandpa with.

Marrying again at his age.
Oh, dear!

Uh-oh, somebody at the door.

- Yes?
- Excuse me.

Is this where
Mr. Montague Jetson is staying?


Yes.
I'm his granddaughter-in-law.

Won't you come in?

Oh, dear. You're the one!

- Oh, he told you about me?
- Well, sort of.

I heard a description of you.

Oh, not very flattering, was it?

Oh, it was. Except, well..

Anybody could tell you don't
bite just to look at you.

Bite? Me?

Well, I mean,
he said you were gentle.


He did? Oh, nice of him.

You haven't known
grandpa long, have you?

Nope. Just mot the one time.

- One time and he's, and he's..
- He's what?

He's out.
He went for the license.

Oh, well, tell him I came by.

If he wants, he can get in touch
with me at the Galaxy Hotel.

- Get in touch?
- Goodbye, my dear.

Oh, dear.

I'll get it, mother.
Probably for me.

Hello there. Is Mr. Jetson..
Uh, Montague Jetson in?

Not right now. You!

Me?

You're the one
he was with in the park.

Oh, yes. Now, look, honey,
would you give him a message?

Tell him Celeste called,
and I've changed my mind.

I've decided to take the baby
with us on the honeymoon.

Can you remember that?
And thank him for me, hear?

Take the baby on the honeym..
Honeymoon?

Baby? Mother!

Baby? She didn't tell me
anything about a baby.

- Did you talk to her too?
- Well, she came by. Oh, dear.

Mom. The baby..

Why, it would be my
step-great-aunt, wouldn't it?

- I guess it would, Judy.
- Oh, no!


Well, finally got the dog
license, now to get home and..

Uh-oh, the baby.
Supposed to pick it up.

Darn near forgot. Must be
getting old in my old age.

Yup. This is it.
Apartment A.

Anybody home?

Oh, good. That must be the man
for the luggage.

It's right in the living room,
by the couch.

Now, be careful with it, please.

What's she think I'm gonna
do with it, play space ball?

Oh! Hi, there, young lady. 'Member me?

Mama's ready, baby.
Let's go now.

Oh! My baby!
My baby's gone!

Help! Police!

Well, we'll have you
in a nice, comfy bed

in two shakes of a rocket's
tail, young lady.

Just like all females.
Always in a hurry.

Okay, I'll step on it.

Pull over, you. What's the rush,
buddy? And don't tell me..

Oh, no.
Not you again.

Afraid so, sonny.

Say hello to the nice
policeman, Egbert.

That's not really your name,

but we wasn't even
formally introduced.

Don't tell me that's your baby.

Nope. Might say
I'm sort of babysitting.

Give me one good reason
why I shouldn't run you in.

Her. Unless you got babysitting
facilities in your jail.

I ought to..
For two cents I'd..

If I ever catch you..

Oh! Get out of here,
before I go nuts!

Yes, sir.
Nice seeing you again, sonny.

I could be worse off.

He could've been my grandfather.

Attention! Attention!

All prowl rockets
and sky precincts.


Be on the lookout
for a year-old female baby.


Taken from her home in the
Moonglow Terrace Apartments.


- That is all.
- Baby? Baby!

Montague!

B-b-but Grandpa,
where's the mother?

Off on her second honeymoon,
by this time.

Without you?

Now that you mentioned it, I was
kind of hoping she'd ask me along.

- Would've been fun.
- Fun?

Grandpa Jetson, how can one
person go alone on a honeymoon?

Oh, she ain't alone, Janie.
Her husband's with her.

- Her husband?
- Husband? Well, isn't that you?

Me?

Afraid my marrying days
are behind me.

Yeah, but then wh-wh-what
about the baby?

Oh, Egbert?
Oh, didn't I tell you?

No!

Oh, must've forgot.

I'm babysitting,

's the little lady can go on a
second honeymoon without her.

But I heard you calling up
about a license.

Sure. For Astro.

- Oh, gosh.
- What now?

That lady who called up..

Oh, great-grandpa,
she had a message for you.

Said she was gonna take the baby
with her on the honeymoon.


Oh, she did, eh? Guess we got
our signals crossed.

I'll get it.

Hi there, Mr. Jetson.
Finally found you at home.

Well, now,
nice to see you again, Mrs..

- Mrs..
- Scope.

Emily Scope. Passing by,
so I thought I'd try again.

Real pleased you did.

- There's your baby.
- My baby?

Oh, I haven't got any baby.

- She's not the one, mother.
- She isn't?

- Oh, George.
- Well, whose baby is it?

And grandpa, just who is it
you're getting married to?

Told you, nobody.
Whoever said I was?

Oh, there's my precious baby.

Caught you red-handed,
old-timer. Let's go.

- Hey, wait a minute!
- Leave my great-grandpa alone!

What's going on?

If everybody will just simmer
down, I'll explain everything.

But, grandpa, why didn't you
tell us what was going on?

Yeah. We thought
you were gonna get married.

Young fella, I had wonderful
years with your grandmother,

rest her soul. And I ain't about
to try to improve on that.

Well, how were we to know?

Hmm, guess I was wrong, flying
around without telling you.

Didn't mean to upset you folks.

Guess it's 'cause
I'm getting on in years.

Getting set in my ways.

Not used to listening
to advice or..

Well, I'm real sorry for causing
you so much trouble.

Oh, grandpa. We were just
worried about you.

- Yeah, that's right, grandpa.
- And you ain't mad at me?

How could we be, grandpa?
We love you.

Tell you one thing,
for the rest of my visit,

I'll be as good as gold.

Give us a call
when you get home, grandpa.

And drive carefully.

Don't you worry about me folks.

I've learned my lesson.

And thanks for a wonderful time.

Goodbye, great-grandpa.
Bye.

Hi, sonny.
Anything wrong?

Just checking.

Are you sure you're on your way
back home, old timer?

Yup. Sure enjoyed
my visit, too.

Want to thank you
for all your neighborly help.

Don't mention it, grandpa.

Attention, all sky patrols.

Be on the lookout
for an elderly gentleman

whizzing along
in a white sport job.

Do not. Repeat.
Do not stop him.

Not if you know what's good
for you, that is.

Sure is a cute ol' guy.

The Jetsons,
