Well, for once that dark opinion gets to take a much more fun spin: now WE get to have some fun defining the man George Jetson is, because now we KNOW. We're about to officially enter the future with the birth of George Jetson, the lead character of the classic Hanna-Barbera future-set animated sitcom The Jetsons. Fans doing the math have determined that George Jetson was born in 2022. George is described as the 40-year-old father figure of the Jetson family as the series begins in the year.

OK, it's possible if you're a millennial you don't know The Jetsons – a brilliant futuristic Hanna-Barbera cartoon from the 1960s, which was revived in the ...

The Wrap says The Jetsons was the first ABC show to be screened in colour. And Elaine Mazzo notes out the instant dinner menu on The Jetsons hasn’t quite eventuated. It is assumed they live in the year 2062 because the show was set 100 years in the future, and it first screened in 1962 when George Jetson turned 40. (Maybe that will apply to all of us in 40 years.) Other fans are keen to point out just how true that futuristic world is. If you do the sums backwards from the first screening, it turns out George is born today.

A circulating meme suggests that George Jetson will be born on July 31, 2022, but does it hold up to strict scientific rigor?

No episodes seem to take place during it, it never seems to have been referenced as a plot point in any of the show’s three seasons (either the first, from 1962, or the two revival seasons from the ’80s), and the only source that’s ever cited for it is an easily edited Fandom wiki. Many people have interpreted that as meaning the series takes place specifically in 2062, 100 years after the original debut, which would, indeed, mean George himself gets popped out onto the planet as a COVID baby sometime in the next few months. Instead, it’s a dopey cartoon that usually went out of its way to obscure when its very weird vision of the future (where walking on the ground has been left behind, but jokes about women loving shoe shopping have not), actually took place. Almost everything MCC ships have 87 SCA Cup points and up (which is high) and are a sure-fire hit for coffee connoisseurs and casual coffee drinkers alike! But it’s also a question that should hypothetically have an actual answer, which is the sort of thing that tickles the most pedantic (and, thus, largest and most imporant) parts of our brains. There’s a meme circulating online this weekend—and which has been kicking around for the last few months, long enough to have gotten the Snopes treatment already—that tomorrow, July 31, 2022, is the birthday of cartoon future-man George Jetson. As in, the day of his actual birth, whereupon this animated sad-sack will be first exposed to the world that will treat him so cruelly, leaving him to spin endlessly on a futuristic treadmill straight to hell.

George Jetson debuted in the 1962 Hanna-Barbera cartoon 'The Jetsons,' the first television series to air in color on ABC.

(This source also confirmed that the name of the family’s mechanical maid was spelled “Rosey” in 1962′s first episode title but “Rosie” in a 1985 series reboot; again, we digress). The heroes wiki on the website fandom.com lists Jetson at age 45, meaning his birthday actually was five years ago. So, should you celebrate the birthday of George Jetson on Sunday? Entirely up to you. And Wikipedia’s biography of the character has adopted a far more vague birthdate of simply “circa 2022.” But what year was that doctor’s appointment? It depends who you ask, and perhaps only his mechanical maid Rosie the Robot knows for sure.

Fan Brendan Curgin took to Twitter on Thursday to share a chart from the TV character's online fan page outlining basic information about his animated father.

“Well, I’m old now,” says another user I have writtenGeorge Jetson will be born this Sunday. The Jetsons is his one of my favorite shows we grew up on.
