ORIGINAL 1962-63 JETSONS OPENING AND CLOSING WITH SPONSOR BILLBOARD

Jane was voiced by an actress named Penny Singleton. She began her career in the mid-30's under the name Dorothy McNultey which was highlighted by a major role in the 1936 film "After the Thin Man" with William Powell, Myrna Loy and James Stewart. She spent the 1940's as the film version of the comic strip character "Blondie" opposite actor Arthur Lake as her husband Dagwood. In 1961 she was approached by William Hanna & Joseph Barbera for their futuristic new cartoon "The Jetsons" and the rest is history :-) "JANE STOP THIS CRAZY THING!!!!!"

[@radio645]

Even though this cartoon was produced in color, way back in 1961, most TV sets weren't color tv's, so, I grew up watching these cartoons mostly in black and white. It wasn't until the early 1970's I finally got to see cartoons like this in full color. Imagine my surprise when I watched Jonny Quest for the first time in color, it completely change the feel and intensity of the that cartoon. Kids these day's have no idea what early TV was like, without being in color and maybe 2 or 3 channels to watch.

[@bdh70]

This was the first program that ABC broadcast in color, despite the fact that NBC had several shows broadcast in color since '54, and CBS broadcast some specials and sporting events in color for about that same time period. ABC never had the budget for anything like that.

[@JHollowayNetwork]

+bdh70 only the Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, Detroit & New York markets were guaranteed to see it in color. The Flintstones (though always produced in color) were broadcast in B&W for the first two seasons.

The Jetsons had no internet, texting, twitter, or social media. There was also no vcr/dvd/tivo as there was an episode where George was upset about having to miss a football game on tv. Also in the 1962 episodes they still used the Univac-type computers that filled an entire room and went obsolete during the 1970s

[@loretta62baca]

Keith Idota 😂😂😂

[@RayPointerChannel]

Actually there was an Internet of sorts referenced in the episodes for information, but not as exposed. After all, it was supposed to be about the characters living in the ultra-modern society still having the same problems of the human experience. The gadgets were just props and visual puns, not the focus of the concept.

[@christopherdunne7848]

Add to that, the writers could only "convert" their 1962-63 minds to imagine what life would be like 100 years later, based only on what their minds could comprehend. For exampleI remember George asking Elroy if he did his "homework tapes." No CD, no downloads, etc.

Thank you for this. I like how the credits were originally episode specific, unlike when they were broadcast in the 80's and even unlike how they created a one-size-fits-all 60's credits when they eventually reused the original end credits. For example, I see that "Other Voices" lists Don Messick and Shepard Menken instead of just Mel Blanc and Don Messick on each episode as they do when shown now.

[@SDK-im8sl]

One of Hoyt Curtin's very best arrangements and conducts. // But I always wonder, how did Judy get George's pipe lit? Did she take a few puffs herself first? Jet Swinger would've turned off by the pipe-breath.

[@ChristopherSobieniak]

"The 1980s Jetsons episodes used the exact same opening as it existed in 1962. To clarify, it may have been color-timed and developed differently in the film lab, but it wasn't repainted at all." Prior to 1985, the show in syndication had the opening/end credits as above (at the time the show was probably aired on the weekends given there was only 24 episodes total). In 1985, a new set of episodes was produced to give the show a daily strip syndication of 5 days a week, so a new opening theme song was created to sync to the original footage, while the end credits was all new, and that's the version that continued to be syndicated into the 90's and such.

[@RayPointerChannel]

There was no need to "color time and develop differently" the opening, Christopher when they had the original negatives. Those were were re-transferred since color reproduction on video had advanced since 1962.

[@taraquinch1256]

Actually the music was slightly different after 1962. You don't hear the brass and percussion/bass section as prominent. I remember when they changed it.

[@SDK-im8sl]

I liked Hoyt Curtin's original 1962 arrangement better. The brass section really swung... That final high blast at the end is so fantastic.

As a child of the 70s, I remember watching alot of Hanna-Barbera cartoons of that era, but when i look back on them now they are such low quality productions and only worsened by the 80s. In my opinion they were never able to match what they had with the Flintstones and The Jetsons

[@dougshoemaker7733]

RageTV They started going downhill when Bill and Joe became executive producers and they turned the producing and directing over to others.

[@davidgibson7615]

@@dougshoemaker7733 that's because Hanna-Barbera Productions gotten so big by the early 60's, it became humanly impossible for Bill and Joe to supervised every cartoon show they made while running the company.

It's under the show's in-credit Screen Gems logo. On reruns, the text is replaced with: TELEVISION SUBSIDIARY COLUMBIA PICTURES CORPORATION Sometimes, the Screen Gems logo is edited out on some prints since Warner Bros. owns this show for now.

[@davidgibson7615]

The Screen Gems title and logo on certain H-B shows was already edited out long before the Warner Bros. takeover in 1996. What happened was Hanna-Barbera sued Screen Gems' parent company, Columbia Pictures in 1981, b/c Columbia sold all of it's TV distribution and trademark rights to Hanna-Barbera cartoon characters to Dancer, Fitzgerald and Sample; then a unit of General Mills. without H-B's consent. I think both Columbia and H-B settled out of court and H-B got full ownership if it's characters from Columbia Pictures.

[@davidgibson7615]

The reason Columbia sold the H-B rights because they were losing money and was about to go bankrupt. They also sold it's money making music powerhouse Arista Records to Bertlesmann so they can stay afloat, which lead to the company being sold to The Coca-Cola Company.

I don't think I ever saw this version. The ones I saw in reruns were mostly the 80s reboot. I think people know that version more. I don't think I ever saw these credits.
