A Date with Jet Screamer is the second episode of Season One of The Jetsons. It first aired 30 September 1962 on ABC.
Summary[]
Despite George's best efforts (including substituting Elroy's secret code for her contest entry song), Judy wins a date with pop idol, Jet Screamer, who sings Judy's contest entry song, "Eep, Opp, Ork, Ah-ah!" which, despite its meaning in the song as "I love you," actually means "meet me tonight."

Trivia[]
- Rosey and Mr. Spacely don't appear in this episode.
- It is unknown what happened to Elroy Jetson afterwards.
- Cosmic Cola is a parody of Coca-Cola.
- Jet Screamer is somewhat based on Ricky Nelson, Elvis Presley, and other rock and roll teen idols of the 1950s and 1960s.
- "Eep, Opp, Ork, Ah-ah!" was later performed by The Dickies and the Violent Femmes.
- George playing the drums is a deus ex machina.
- This episode was remade as Rockin' with Judy Jetson.
- Boomerang's airings of the episode and "Rosey the Robot" use the 1980s intro and closing credits made for that decade's syndication airings for season 1 while the others (except for "Jane's Driving Lesson," "Dude Planet," and "Elroy's Mob") use the Turner Entertainment masters.
Goofs[]
- At the end, when Judy returns home and Jane asks her if she had a good time, Jane's purple stockings on her legs go missing briefly. The same goof later occurs in "TV or Not TV."
