The Internet was all abuzz that futuristic cartoon father, George Jetson, was born today. Here's how the math works:
1962 (the year The Jetsons first aired)
+ 100 (the number of years in the future)
= 2062 (the year show was set)
- 40 (the age George is when the show starts)
= 2022 (the year George was born)
I'm not sure how the day came to be July 31st, but the Internet says it's true so it must be, right?
Of course, 90% of TikTok doesn't know who he is, but I loved this show as a kid. Meet George Jetson, his boy Elroy, daughter Judy and Jane his wife! All swirling in a shiny world full of talking robots and cars flying high above the clouds.
It was a trip, and I was along for the intergalactic ride.
There were only 24 cosmic episodes in the original run, and it was ABC's first show in color. But looking back, those crazy kids at Hanna-Barbera were really on to something with this fantasy. In fact, they predicted a whole bunch of genius things that we all use today -- and can't live without.
The future is now, my friends!

Now, if they would just invent the Food-a-Rac-a-Cycle that cooks all your meals to order. Or better yet, that button you press that folds up the dinner table -- food, dirty dishes and all -- so you don't have to clean up, I'd be in heaven!
Hey, Elon Musk, once you're done with electric cars and space ships, please get on this...
