The Retroist Podcast

On today’s show we talk all about the hit Sci-Fi cartoon series, The Jetsons. We talk about the pre-production, the cast, production of the show, its reception in the US and much much more. This is a very special episode because in this episode I get to talk with Judy Jetson herself, Janet Waldo! We talk about working on the Jetsons, how she landed the role, the process of working on the show, her work on Battle of the Planets, working with Bing Crosby and much much more. It was a real honor to talk to her.

As I mentioned in an earlier post this week, the Jetsons title, Rockin’ with Judy Jetson is finally available on DVD. So please drop by the Warner Archive and order yourself up a copy. It was a fun part of Jetsons’ history and it is great to see it FINALLY made available.

Just a reminder to drop by our official forums to discuss The Jetsons and any other TV Shows you might like. You can find the forums at http://www.retroist.com/forum/.
