On This Day in History!

On September 23, 1962 the first episode of The Jetsons aired.


Thanks to priceytv for posting the Jetson's intro on YouTube!

  


Thanks to daftmahatma for posting this clip from the early Jetsons.
 
I was thrilled to discover that you can buy individual Jetsons episodes  for $1.99 from Amazon using their  Amazon Unbox service. I downloaded a few episodes to my TiVo this weekend so that I could introduce this Hannah Barbara classic to my 3 year old, Beckett.  He watched enthusiastically, and wanted to play space family when it was over. 
 
While we are definitely not living the space age life of the Jetson famliy, we did pay homage to them by naming our iRobot Scooba, Rosie. Oh, how I love you, Rosie! 

Oh! Beware before you use Amazon's Unbox service. Boing Boing doesn't like it one bit!  I personally decided to go for it since it integrates effortlessly with TiVo, and my TiVo's Kid Zone. I have been waiting for years for TiVo to make a deal with a distributor so that we could use our TiVo service to watch rented content.  I was so excited, I took the plunge, and so far I've been happy with the choice.
