The following is a list of major characters in The Jetsons, an American animated comic science fiction sitcom produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions and first broadcast in prime-time on ABC as part of the 1962–63 United States network television schedule.

He is the husband of Jane Jetson and the father of teenage daughter Judy and elementary school aged son Elroy.

[citation needed] George resides with his family in the Skypad Apartments[5] in Orbit City, in a future with the trappings of science fantasy depictions of American life in the future, such as robot servants, flying saucer-like cars, and moving sidewalks.

All the apartment buildings are set on giant poles, resembling Seattle's Space Needle; the ground is almost never seen, though in Jetsons: The Movie, it is suggested that the earth is extremely polluted, thus everyone lives in the sky.

When George was a kid, he had to fly through ten miles of asteroid storms to go to Orbit High School, where he was the star pitcher of its Spaceball team.

George's job primarily requires him to repeatedly push a single button (or on occasion a series of buttons) on a computer (named RUDI {Short for: Referential Universal Digital Indexer} in the 1980s series of Jetsons episodes).

George complains of his heavy work load: pushing a button as many as five times[7] for three hours,[8] three days a week.

Physically, George is a rather slim man of average height with short red hair and a cartoonishly large nose.

His personality is that of a well-meaning, caring father, but he is often befuddled and stressed out by the problems of both his work and family lives.

[citation needed] His wife Jane is voiced by Penny Singleton who played the movie version of Blondie in the 1930s to 1950s.

In the Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law episode "Back to the Present", George leads the Jetsons in returning to Earth to sue the planet for causing global warming.

Outside of the home, she is a member of the Galaxy Women Historical Society and is a fan of Leonardo de Venus and Picasso Pia.

Although this wife of the future has both a robot maid and automated apartment appliances, even pushing buttons for housework gets to be too much for her and she has to take a vacation ("Dude Planet").

For example, she enjoys taking advantage of the many technology gadgets at her grasp such as controllable zero-gravity switches (made for accomplishing popular dance moves of the show's time or for other uses).

She also gives a summary of how her day went and the problems which she faced to a floating robotic diary, appropriately named, "DiDi" (voiced by Selma Diamond later by Brenda Vaccaro).

When George accompanies Judy on the date in an attempt to call it off, he instead winds up playing drums during a live performance of the song and soon develops a liking for Jet and his music.

Judy is depicted wearing a deep pinkish-purple, futuristic slight crop top outfit and, like a few other Hanna-Barbera cartoon characters (such as Bamm-Bamm Rubble from The Flintstones and some background characters in various cartoons) has white hair that is colored to resemble platinum blonde or bleached blonde hair, which she wears in a ponytail on top of her head.

Elroy attends Little Dipper School, where he studies space history, astrophysics and star geometry.

Don Messick would usually give Astro a speech pattern involving replacing the first letter of any word with an R, such as "I love you, George" becoming "I ruv roo, Reorge".

When Jane, Judy, and Elroy proposed keeping him to George, he was against it, claiming an apartment is no place for a dog.

Rosie[24] (voiced by Jean Vander Pyl in the TV series, Ann Thomas in The Jetsons: New Songs of the TV Family of the Future,[2] Jeff Bergman in Flintstones/Jetsons: Timewarp,[12] Grey DeLisle in an AT&T commercial,[25] Tress MacNeille in The Jetsons & WWE: Robo-WrestleMania!, 2008–2017, Annie Mumolo in Jellystone!

Orbitty (voiced by Frank Welker in the TV series, Diane Michelle in Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law) is the 2nd pet of the Jetson family.

Cosmo G. Spacely (voiced by Mel Blanc in the TV series, Daws Butler in The Jetsons in First Family On The Moon,[19][20] Billy West in a WBCN commercial,[30] Frank Welker as a teenager in The Jetsons Christmas Carol, Jeff Bergman since 1990, and Greg Burson in Bloopers of the Cartoon Stars (1997)) is George's moneygrubbing and arrogant boss.

Though money is often the sole objective of his life, Spacely is not completely heartless, and will at times empathize or go out of his way to genuinely help George (albeit rarely).

He owns Cogswell's Cosmic Cogs company and causes a lot of trouble for Spacely and George.

Cogswell has often tried to steal Spacely's ideas and make them his own to gain an advantage (only for it to backfire on both bosses).

In The Jetsons Meet the Flintstones, Sentro is used again by Mr. Cogswell to steal the information about the prehistoric car that Mr. Spacely plans to market.

(voiced by Don Messick) is the robotic assistant of Henry Orbit who started dating Rosie after Elroy figured out that they fell in love.

Uniblab (voiced by Don Messick) is George's mortal enemy, an obnoxious robot who was also his supervisor at work.

Miss Brainmocker (voiced by Janet Waldo) is Elroy's robot teacher at Little Dipper School.
