More geared toward children and casual buyers, this is far from a comprehensive guide to the original 60s sitcom, or its various follow ups. It doesn't even bother to list but a handful of episodes, and wastes huge pages on clip-art. There are a few neat things like the 3 pages of vintage Jetsons merchandize but all in all it was barely worth the 3 dollars I spent on it at big lots. Still its the closest thing there seems to be for a guide, so animation\jetson fans are advised to get it cheap.

Compared to the Flintstones book I previously read, this book was a waste of money. It lacked the additional details the larger sized and superior Flintstones book. Seemed more like a children’s book than a historical look at the making of the cartoon. I was disappointed. Maybe in the future, someone will write a more detailed history of this follow-up to the Flintstones cartoon.

Light and a bit shallow, but worth a look.
