With Warner Brothers owning the material nowadays, it seems improbable they will give any credibility to former distributor Screen Gems/Columbia Television, as Worldvision Television industries originally chopped up the original credits around 1983 simply to remove mentions of the old "Screen Gems/Color By Pathe" logo from 1962 semi-imposed in-credit on the screen (to this day I'm still not sure if original 1964-67 repeat prints on NBC Saturday morning had the 1963-65 Screen Gems "Dancing Sticks" logo on them like 1967-81 counterpart re-runs of "The Flintstones" first five seasons on NBC and in Syndication.) The correct credits have sadly never been restored since. It's the same story on The Flintstones closing credits in confusion-Worldvision and later Turner Enterprises were simply removing any mentions or logos of Screen Gems, which today are sorely missed by those who still remember them 50-55 years earlier in retrospection. I know I'll never forget about them. Original mentions to ABC Television & NBC Television ("The ABC-TV Space Sky" logo and "The NBC Color Snake" logo respectfully are also removed as well. A favorite gag I liked in this episode from childhood: When Mr. Spacely catches Jetson goofing of at the water cooler with the staff members on company time, and later crashing through the "Miss Solar System" billboard sign directly on the model's face in front of an angry Mr. Spacely.<br /><br />Spacely: "Why....WHY...WHY DO I PUT UP WITH YOU?!"<br />Jetson: "I DON"T KNOW< SIR!"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403931334822730200.post-89077294558581714622016-03-12T08:46:29.526-08:002016-03-12T08:46:29.526-08:00Yes, sc, the design work is great which is why I&#...Yes, sc, the design work is great which is why I'm annoyed the credits aren't on the cartoon (if Jerry Eisenberg reads these posts, he may know who was responsible).<br />I went back through my e-mails from the late Earl Kress, and I gather Ms. Baker went by "B.J." professionally.Yowphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09264605351878574044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403931334822730200.post-15949222679955429772016-03-12T08:04:40.075-08:002016-03-12T08:04:40.075-08:00This is one of the more adult-themed episodes of T...This is one of the more adult-themed episodes of The Jetsons. Penny Singleton really gets to shine as Jane in this one. It's a nice change of pace from the Spacely-Cogswell feud which fuels most of the Jetsons story-lines. It's also timeless in its representation of a woman's role being more than just a home-maker. It's easy to pull for Jane in this one.<br /><br />Looks like visually the artists went all-out on this one. It's one of the most stunning episodes in the entire series.<br /><br />Rosey the Robot is absent from all but two of the original series episodes. She is regularly shown in the closing sequence, but that is all. I had thought maybe she made brief cameos in some of the other ones, but having watched the original series several times, she only appears in those two.<br /><br />So Betty Jean Baker sang for Penny Singleton and Jean Van der Pyl? Interesting that Betty Rubble's maiden name is Betty Jean McBricker. Coincidence?scarecrow33https://www.blogger.com/profile/10552306802823617940noreply@blogger.com
