**According to the [=S1E21=] episode "Private Property", not too far away from the action. A building adjacent to Spacely's is measured at exactly 2200.5 ft tall (about 670.7 m) from roof to ground. You also see many shots of the grassy ground in this episode.

** Work may be really hard to come by in the time of the Jetsons. He could quit, but then perhaps he'd struggle to find a job that pays as well as Spacely did. Or, other jobs might require them to move out of Orbit City--to where? The surface? Another planet?

** As her function as a household robot includes programming the food synthesizer, which requires the ability to taste things, she must have the ability to take in and expel liquids. So most likely she was doing something analogous to sneezing or spitting.

** In the original intention the ages were probably a bit further than intended, as later episodes would show George and Jane courted when they were still young. Though that wouldn't rule out the possibility George was in college and Jane was in high school at the time. Realistically the generation gap is going to hit this question as whether it is {{Squick}} to be in favor of such relationships or age prejudice to object to such relationships.

* In "Rosie, Come Home", Rosie is in the rain and she does something that seems like sneezing or spitting. Is this just another symptom of her microchip running down, or is she actually sneezing or spitting?

* George Jetson and Jane Jetson's official ages are 40 and 33 respectively. Their oldest child Judy is 16, which would mean that Jane was around 16-17 when she was pregnant with her. The age difference means that [[FridgeHorror George was 24 when he impregnated Jane]]. Is this a case of WritersCannotDoMath? Or is it supposed to indicate that [[DeliberateValuesDissonance the future will have a more lax attitude toward the age of consent]]?

* In ''Jetsons: The Movie'', what's the point of Intergalactic Garden Estates? The logical reason to build a community next to a mining plant is to provide housing for the workers, but the mine is fully automated and has no workers apart from George and Rudy-2. What do the residents of Intergalactic Garden Estates even do for a living? Do they ''all'' work at the shopping mall?
