**In the early 2000s, writer Glenn Leopold and writer/producer Davis Doi pitched a ''Jetsons'' project, possibly a Main/DirectToVideo film, apperently involving George being turned younger, a cloning machine, and an unspecified conflict between Spacely Sprockets and Cogswell Cogs. Later however, focus group testing determined that ''The Jetsons'' wasn't very popular which led to the idea being shelved despite the script reportely being finished.

* ScrewedByTheNetwork: The original series lasted just one season because ABC didn't require affiliates to broadcast the series in color, causing many who did see the series be appalled by the futuristic setting without any color to go with it. It ultimately found success in syndication, which was, for many, the first time people watched the series (and in its original color form, no less).

** In May 2007, Creator/RobertRodriguez entered talks with Creator/UniversalStudios and Creator/WarnerBros to film a CGI adaptation for a potential 2009 theatrical release, having at the time discussed directing a film adaptation of ''Series/LandOfTheLost'' with Universal.

On February 2012, Warner Bros. hired Van Robichaux and Evan Susser to rewrite the script.

* NoExportForYou: Japan only got the first 1960s series, which was dubbed [[DuelingDubs thrice]], something that caused some problems when the Japanese dubs of ''WesternAnimation/JetsonsTheMovie'' and ''WesternAnimation/TheJetsonsMeetTheFlintstones'' came out, since the renditions of the titular family are based on the 1980s version and also doing references from that version, which went over the heads of Japanese viewers.
