Product Review
Positives
Box & storage
- The cover box is very stylish and the inside box containing the 4 DVDs is also decorated inside out with the Jetsons. The 4 DVDs stay secured in the inside box.
DVD/case
- All the DVD cases and the DVD have great designs on them. And the DVD menu is easy to navigate.
Video & Audio
- The episodes play back to back. You will be tempted to see all episodes in a row.
- They look the same as what was originally aired on television
Negatives
DVD/case
- For Blu-ray lovers, you will not find that in this set.
Video & Audio
- The full-frame of all DVDs is 1:33.1 which is supposed to be Traditional television & computer monitor standard but on my flat screen (which has a 1:85.1 full frame) I don’t see it full screen.
Personal experience
All DVDs in the set worked well and the box arrived in great condition. Love this set! Some people like the sixties episodes better than the eighties. The sixties episodes were about the issues George and Jane encounter every day as a married couple. The writers thought to change that in the eighties episodes so children could relate to the stories. That is why in the eighties episodes there is more of Rosie and Elroy has more adventures. I personally like both a lot but if I had to choose I still prefer the first season.

This product is a must-have for Jetsons Fans who watched it as a Saturday morning cartoon. Feel safe to show it to a child of any age (they might even learn a lesson or two from it). For any adults watching it the stories are a bit cheesy at times but they are still solid stories about the troubles a futuristic family might face, at least what people in the sixties thought they might be facing.

I hope you enjoyed this review and if you have any questions about this DVD box set or want to leave your own personal review of the box set, leave a comment below.
Wow, I never knew the Jetsons was out in the 60s. I am 38 so that is before my time but the Jetsons was one of my favorite shows as a child. $20 is pretty cheap for the first season. Thanks for sharing this!
Hi Nicole,
I didn’t know either. When researching about the show I got to know that it aired just 24 episodes after its debut on Sunday September 23, 1962 but more episodes were made in the mid 1980s adding a second (21 episodes) and third season (10 episodes). Will do a review of the second season soon.
I was looking for a box set with all seasons but so far they sell each season as a separated product.
Isn’t it crazy how now most of the stuff we see in the Jetson’s house is actually possible? I used to think if I ever saw video calling I’d know it was the future. Now it seems like nothing lol. Great post.
Hi Eric,
Yes you are right: those things were just fantasy then (at least that is what we were told when we were kids). Now we have home entertainment systems (like the movies) at home and many other things.
Reminds me of the good old days when humor was funny.
Hi Chappy,
I know what you mean. Thanks for dropping by!
