** In November 2001, screenwriting duo Paul Foley and Dan Forman were brought onboard to revise a screenplay, with Rob Minkoff attached as director and Denise Di Novi as producer. When the project faltered, ''WesternAnimation/JetsonsTheMovie'' was released in the meantime.

** Janet Waldo recorded her dialogue as Judy for The Jetsons Movie, but was redubbed by pop singer Tiffany (who originally only did the singing) in post production, in one of the most egregious examples of StuntCasting.

!Trivia for the series:

!Trivia for ''Robo-[=WrestleMania=]''

* PlayingGertrude: We have an interesting case with Jane. She's voiced by Grey [=DeLisle=] Griffin (who was born in 1973), which makes her two years older than Judy's voice actress, Danica McKellar (who was born in 1975). However, Grey is one year younger than Elroy's voice actor, Trevor Devall (born in 1972), and 13 years younger than Creator/JeffBergman (voice of George and Mr. Spacely, who was born in 1960).

* DevelopmentHell: A live action feature film has gone in and out of production since 2001.

** Lucille Bliss recorded six weeks of dialogue for Elroy before being fired by due to behind the scenes controversy. Daws Butler would voice the character for the series proper.

* CreatorsPest: While Creator/JohnKricfalusi liked working on the 80's revival, he hated the character Orbity and he would often try to work in scenes where he got abused, some of which actually made it into the show.

* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: After Creator/WarnerBros released the 1960s episodes on DVD, it took another five years for them to start releasing the '80s seasons on that format, and yet another five years for them to complete that era. Additionally, the latter 2/3 of the revival, including the TV specials ''WesternAnimation/TheJetsonsMeetTheFlintstones'' and ''Rockin' with Judy Jetson'', became available only through the Warner Archive, until the October 13, 2020 release of a traditionally-pressed ''Jetsons'' Complete Series DVD boxset brought all of the '80s episodes and ''The Jetsons Meet the Flintstones'' to wide retail.

This was later averted for the second half of season 2 and all of season 3 (every episode from “The Vacation”-“Spacely for a Day”) when a traditionally-pressed DVD set of the complete series was released on October 13, 2020.

** Morey Amsterdam and Pat Carroll were initially cast as George and Judy Jetson, but only recorded one episode before being replaced by George O'Hanlon and Penny Singleton due to sponsor conflicts with the actors' previous commitments (Amsterdam on ''Series/TheDickVanDykeShow'' and Carroll on ''Make Room for Daddy''). Both sued Hanna-Barbera for breach of contract, having been guaranteed the full 24-episode season, but the court ruled in favor of the studio.

* NonSingingVoice: Jane's rendition of "Won't You Fly Home, Bill Spacely" in "Miss Solar System" was done by B.J. Baker, who also sang Wilma Flintstone's version of "Bill Bailey" in "The Happy Housewife".

** Jeff Bergman takes over for George and Mr. Spacely in an interesting case of RoleReprisal (see below).

* RoleReprisal: To an extent; Creator/JeffBergman fills in for George and Mr. Spacely entirely after voicing them for a couple lines in the previous movie.[[note]] Jeff Bergman had in fact took over as the characters for many minor works such as the Spumco shorts and various commercials prior to this, but this was his first prominent role[[/note]]

* EditedForSyndication: When the original series was syndicated in the 80's, some episodes had scenes that were cut out for more commercial time or [[ValuesDissonance suggestive content deemed inappropriate for the modern era]], and the LaughTrack in many of those episodes was removed. These prints ended up being the ones shown on Creator/CartoonNetwork and Creator/{{Boomerang}} when the networks aired the series. The DVD release, however, has the series uncut, except for the {{Cold Opening}}s, and with the laugh track retained, except on "A Date with Jet Screamer".

* VindicatedByHistory: The original ABC run flopped after one season but managed to find ''huge'' success on syndication, to the point where many wished ABC rolled out the color television carpet sooner rather than later.
