Notes/trivia

• This is the series premiere of The Jetsons.
• The episode was originally called "Rosie the Robot", but when the series was brought back twenty years later after it had originally ended after only one season all the title cards were updated to match the season two one's which included the new pet of the family, Orbitty. In doing so every title card that had "Rosie" in the title had been renamed to "Rosey".
• Astro doesn't appear in this episode. He isn't introduced until "The Coming of Astro", five episodes later. Although he still appears in the end credits as he does in every episode.
• Jane is thirty-three years old and Judy is fifteen. If there's a real chronology then Jane got married to George and had Judy by the time she was at the rather young age of eighteen.
• Mr. Spacely got married to Stella thirty years ago before the time of this episode.
• Elroy is six and half years old.
• This episode marks the first time Mr. Spacely fired George.
• Mrs. Spacely took part in a womans' xenophobic protest group.

Animation mistakes

• When Jane says to Judy she can't go swimming after school because it's too cold, she has long sleeves.
• Jane's head goes through the chute when she looks down to ask George where he's going.
