George Jetson birthday

We're about to officially enter the future with the birth of George Jetson, the lead character of the classic Hanna-Barbera future-set animated sitcom The ...

Well, for once that dark opinion gets to take a much more fun spin: now WE get to have some fun defining the man George Jetson is, because now we KNOW. We're about to officially enter the future with the birth of George Jetson, the lead character of the classic Hanna-Barbera future-set animated sitcom The Jetsons. Fans doing the math have determined that George Jetson was born in 2022. George is described as the 40-year-old father figure of the Jetson family as the series begins in the year.

A circulating meme suggests that George Jetson will be born on July 31, 2022, but does it hold up to strict scientific rigor?

No episodes seem to take place during it, it never seems to have been referenced as a plot point in any of the show’s three seasons (either the first, from 1962, or the two revival seasons from the ’80s), and the only source that’s ever cited for it is an easily edited Fandom wiki. Many people have interpreted that as meaning the series takes place specifically in 2062, 100 years after the original debut, which would, indeed, mean George himself gets popped out onto the planet as a COVID baby sometime in the next few months. Instead, it’s a dopey cartoon that usually went out of its way to obscure when its very weird vision of the future (where walking on the ground has been left behind, but jokes about women loving shoe shopping have not), actually took place. Almost everything MCC ships have 87 SCA Cup points and up (which is high) and are a sure-fire hit for coffee connoisseurs and casual coffee drinkers alike! But it’s also a question that should hypothetically have an actual answer, which is the sort of thing that tickles the most pedantic (and, thus, largest and most imporant) parts of our brains. There’s a meme circulating online this weekend—and which has been kicking around for the last few months, long enough to have gotten the Snopes treatment already—that tomorrow, July 31, 2022, is the birthday of cartoon future-man George Jetson. As in, the day of his actual birth, whereupon this animated sad-sack will be first exposed to the world that will treat him so cruelly, leaving him to spin endlessly on a futuristic treadmill straight to hell.

George Jetson debuted in the 1962 Hanna-Barbera cartoon 'The Jetsons,' the first television series to air in color on ABC.

(This source also confirmed that the name of the family’s mechanical maid was spelled “Rosey” in 1962′s first episode title but “Rosie” in a 1985 series reboot; again, we digress). The heroes wiki on the website fandom.com lists Jetson at age 45, meaning his birthday actually was five years ago. So, should you celebrate the birthday of George Jetson on Sunday? Entirely up to you. And Wikipedia’s biography of the character has adopted a far more vague birthdate of simply “circa 2022.” But what year was that doctor’s appointment? It depends who you ask, and perhaps only his mechanical maid Rosie the Robot knows for sure.

Roughly 50 years after the first episode of “The Jetsons” premiered, fans are gearing up to celebrate the birth of George Jetson, which according to lore, ...

The Jetsons fans are wishing George Jetson, the sitcom's patriarch, a very happy birthday thinking that he'll be born on July 31, 2022.

It revolves around the lives of air-dwelling, Orbit City residents, The Jetsons. The show indicated its 21st-century setting in several episodes during its run. Many know that the animated sitcom’s premise is set in the future. Originally, the cartoon only ran for 24 episodes but was later revived.

The Jetsons--which follows a family living in the future--had made its debut on ABC in 1962 and was later made available on Cartoon Network as well. A fan of ...

I don't mean to alarm anyone, but someone is about to give birth to George Jetson," Brendan Kergin wrote on Twitter. The 2062's depiction also showed robot servants, flying saucer-like cars and moving sidewalks. WHERE’S MY FLYING CAR?!?!?!?!"

Popular character George Jetson belongs to a family living in the future portrayed in the iconic television series "The Jetsons" which debuted on ABC in the ...

And government action is required to tackle the danger of terrorist attacks through flying cars. The Flying cars seem to have caught the fancy of all the Jetson's fans. George's birthdate was not mentioned on the show.

Meet George Jetson. No, I'm not signing the theme song. I mean, get ready to meet him, because he is supposed to be born today. Or, ya know, maybe not.

There are few things more exciting to pedantic fans like myself than watching a piece of media that takes place in the future slowly become anachronistic. Since the show came out in 1962, fans have come to believe that The Jetsons takes place in 2062. The whole conversation began when studious fans of The Jetsons noticed that the show was supposed to take place a hundred years from its original airdate.

So, this firmly sets The Jetsons in 2062. But, how did fans calculate George Jetson's age? Well, it comes down to Season 1, Episode 15, "Test Pilot." In this ...

Still, despite the worries modern generations have about the future of Planet Earth, The Jetsons were part of a trend in the 1960s that dreamed of an optimistic future. So, happy literal birthday George Jetson. The world has a long way to go to get to flying cars. When the show first launched in 1962, however, the marketing materials revealed the show was set 100 years in the future. We'll also soon be living in space-age houses in the sky. The first hit was the stone-age comedy The Flintstones, and The Jetsons came along two years later, a kind of 'opposite' series set in the future. In the 1980s they made more episodes culminating in a feature film in the 1990s.

Apparently, the future is here, and people are on Twitter celebrating the cartoon character's birth.

During the episode, George goes to the doctor, who claims that he should "live to be 150." The Jetsons premiered two years after another classic cartoon first aired, that prehistoric family The Flintstones, and ran for only one season, from 1962 to 1963 with a showing of 24 episodes. After an online fan took to Twitter to announce that George Jetson from the classic 1960s animated series The Jetsons will be born on Sunday, July 31, 2022, people lost it.

According to memes circulating on the internet, July 31, 2022 may just be the birthday of the dopey patriarch from the vintage cartoon, "The Jetsons."

George Jetson has been causing a stir online thanks to a widely-circulated meme putting his birthday as July 31, 2022.

The Jetsons, which was revived in the 1980s after the popularity of its one season airing in re-runs on Sunday morning for decades, hit the big screen with their own movie in 1990. It was widely reported at the time that network ABC and the show’s promotional materials set The Jetsons in 2062, exactly 100 years into the future, meaning this year would be the birth year of George. That’s right, Sunday July 31 2022, is the day that legendary cartoon George is said to have graced the world (or should we say universe?) with his presence – and flying cars aren’t quite the main mode of transport, as predicted back in the 1960s.

According to memes circulating on the internet, today is when George Jetson was born. He was the father in the 1960s television series "The Jetsons," set in ...

Well, let's just say there's a 1-in-365 chance the memes are right. As for the specific day itself? Memes have been circulating claiming that today — July 31, 2022 — is the birthday of the dopey patriarch from the vintage cartoon, "The Jetsons."
