Summary

One day while Elroy and Orbitty are playing in his room, Rosey, who is cleaning Elroy's room, bumps into Astro. Then, she crashes into Elroy's toy tower. When George arrives at their home, he sits down, lies on the pillow, and starts reading the newspaper. Rosey comes in with a vacuum cleaner. George tells her about seeing his slippers in her chest. Then, he finds his slippers, but they are broken. Just then, Mac arrives, giving Rosey a bunch of flowers, but she gets angry, says, "Get lost!", and closes the door, breaking the flowers. Elroy and Astro tell Rosey about Orbit Robots (a company) being a "spaceist", then she gets upset and her microchip master cylinder runs down.

Meanwhile, Mac is very sad and he starts to cry. But, Henry Orbit tells him all about something. The family is excited about dinner, they are eating vegetables, but the food is dirty. They say, "Yuck!" and are very upset. Even Astro is upset too. Then, Judy and Elroy have an idea, they tell George about Henry Orbit. George meets Henry in the garage and he tells him about Rosie. Henry finds Rosey's owner manual disc and puts it in to listen to the disc. Henry asks George if he can keep Rosey until the nighttime. At night, Rosey meets George again. She gives him dirty vegetables again and George says, "Yuck!", and goes to bed drinking water with pills. The next morning, George and Jane go to the Robot City shop to meet the salesman. He and she want to buy a microchip master cylinder. Rosey tells Cosmo G. Spacely all about George while Spacely is having lunch and waiting for a long time. Rosey races away and hits Cosmo's foot. She is walked out of Spacely Space Sprockets. Meanwhile, the salesman wants to sell Mechano Maid 2000 to George and Jane, they want to meet her. When Rosey comes back to the Robot City, she is terrified. George and Jane, the salesman and Mechano Maid 2000 are very busy. Rosey is very worried and sadly goes back to their home before running away.

Inside the Jetsons' home, Rosey is very sad, then she puts a picture frame in her circuit. But Astro is still sad about saying goodbye and he begins to cry. Rosey wipes Astro with a tissue. She decides to write a paper for him and he reads goodbye. Astro cries, "Ron't reave!" (Don't leave) and Orbitty starts to cry too, then, Rosey runs sadly away. Inside Spacely Space Sprockets, Cosmo yells, "Jetson! You're too hours late!" and George tells him about the trouble he had and about Rosey running over Cosmo's feet. Then, Jane Jetson calls to George about Rosey quitting, and he races away as fast as he can. But Cosmo is still cross and yells, "But Jetson, you just got here!"

Trivia

  • This is the first title card to spell the Jetsons' robot maid's name as "Rosie," when it had been spelled as "Rosey."
  • The Galaxy Strip, which apparently has robot singles bars, is a parody of the Sunset Strip.
  • Judy gets her driving licence in this episode.
  • This episode was adapted into a picture book in May 1995.
  • Robot City Salesman sounds like Zilly.
  • Orbitty sounds like Percy and James from Thomas and Friends Season 8-11.

Goofs

  • Instead of going back to U-Rent a Maid where Rosie was bought in "Rosey the Robot", George goes to Robot City, which may just be the fact it deals with robots in general, opposed to outright ignoring the former.
  • George says "The Lubra Coffee Shop", but it's spelled "The Libra Coffee Shop" on the building.
  • When Rosie offers to drive, Judy's collar is white and her top looks a little short, too.
  • The driving instructor seems to be Mr. Tweeter from "Jane's Driving Lesson", but he has brown hair, instead of orange.
