♪ DAUGHTER JUDY ♪
>> WOW, FLASHBACK TO SIX YEARS
OLD.
WELCOME BACK TO THE BIG SUNDAY
SHOW.
IT IS A BIG DAY FOR FANS OF THE
ICONIC SITCOM THE JETSONS.
>> BOY THESE THREE HOUR DAYS ARE
KILLING ME.
SHALL I GET YOUR CAR,
MR. JETSON?
>> NEVER MIND.
I’M IN A HURRY.
THANKS ANYWAYS.
>> FORGET SOMETHING, MR. JETSON?
>> YEAH, THE CAR.
[LAUGHTER]
>> IT WAS FUNNIER WHEN I WAS
YOUNGER.
TODAY WOULD HAVE BEEN THE DAY
GEORGE JETSON WAS BORN.
ACCORDING TO FANS OF THE SHOW
WHO DID THE MATH, IT IS HIS
BIRTHDAY TODAY.
HE WOULD HAVE BEEN 40 ON THE
SHOW.
THE CLASSIC CARTOON GAVE AMERICA
A GLIMPSE OF WHAT THE FUTURE
WOULD LOOK LIKE, FROM FLAT
SCREEN TV TOSS VIDEO PHONES --
SCREEN TVs TO VIDEO PHONES TO
DRONES JET PACKS, MUCH SEEMED
UNREALISTIC IN THE 60s ON THE
JETSONS, VERY REAL TODAY.
IT IS AMAZING THIS SHOW WAS ON
IN 1962; ALL RIGHT?
THIS IS SOMETHING LIKE 30 YEARS
BEFORE YOU TWO WERE BORN; ALL
RIGHT?
THE FACT THEY COULD PREDICT
THESE THINGS COMPLETELY,
PARTICULARLY THE FLYING CARS,
ANITA, WHICH SOMEBODY REALLY
COULD HAVE USED YESTERDAY GIVEN
THE THIRD WORLD TRAFFIC IN NEW
YORK CITY.
THAT’S INCREDIBLE.
BUT THE FLYING CARS WE HAVE NOT
SEEN YET I SHOULD SAY.
BUT THEY ARE RIGHT ON A LOT OF
OTHER THINGS.
>> STILL WAITING ON THE FLYING
CARS BUT RIGHT ON SO MANY OTHER
THINGS.
RIGHT?
TALKING INTO YOUR WATCH, TALKING
ON FLAT SCREEN TV, ZOOM, SKYPE,
FACETIME.
WE HAVE ALL OF THAT.
I THINK THEY HAD SOME SORT OF A
ROBOTIC VACUUM, GOT THAT TOO,
THE ROOMBA; RIGHT?
I’M WAITING FOR -- JANE HAS
SOMETHING REALLY COOL.
SHE HAD LIKE A MACHINE THAT SPIT
OUT AN ALREADY MADE BREAKFAST.
THEY HAD A MACHINE THAT BRUSHED
YOUR TEETH AND COMBED YOUR HAIR.
MY 8-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER NEEDS
THAT MACHINE.
REALLY, SHE DOES.
>> YOU SAW GEORGE JETSON GO
THROUGH A DOOR THAT WENT UP AND
IT WAS MOTION DETECTED.
OBVIOUSLY THAT WAS INVENTED AS
WELL.
RACHEL, YOU HAVE NINE CHILDREN.
I FIND IT INTERESTING THAT ON
THIS SHOW THAT GEORGE AND JANE
HAD TWO KIDS WHO HAVE COMPLETELY
DIFFERENT COLOR HAIR FROM THEM.
SO WAS THERE AN ADOPTION ANGLE
HERE THAT WE MISSED OUT ON?
>> I DIDN’T CATCH THAT ACTUALLY.
BUT, YOU KNOW, AS A HISPANIC, MY
GENES ARE VERY POWERFUL SO ALL
MY KIDS LOOK LIKE ME.
[LAUGHTER]
>> LET ME TELL YOU THIS, I LOVED
THIS SHOW GROWING UP.
I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS SHOW.
PART OF WHAT I LOVED ABOUT IT
WERE THESE GADGETS, AND NOW THAT
I’M A WOMAN, THESE GADGETS ARE
EVEN MORE FASCINATING TO ME.
I WISH I HAD A ROSY ROBOT.
I DON’T THINK ANYONE NEEDS MORE
THAN ME.
AND YOU TOUCHED ON THE ROOMBA.
I HAVE A VERSION OF THE ROOMBA
THAT ACTUALLY VACUUMS AND MOPS,
MOPS BETTER THAN MY KIDS WHO I
USED TO PUT TO DO THAT, AND NOW
I DON’T HAVE TO.
WE LOVE THIS MACHINE SO MUCH,
SEAN AND I.
IT WAS GIVEN TO ME AS A GIFT.
IT’S THE BEST GIFT I HAVE EVER
RECEIVED.
WE ACTUALLY CALL IT SEAN’S
GIRLFRIEND BECAUSE WHEN I AM
GONE, IT LOOKS LIKE SEAN
VACUUMED.
IT IS INCREDIBLE HOW MANY OF
THESE HAVE COME TO FRUITION
>> WHAT IS IT CALLED?
>> IT IS CALLED THE ROBO ROCK.
>> FASCINATING.
>> I SHOULD SPONSOR THIS AND
MAKE MONEY
>> NEVER DID I WATCH TV WHEN I
WAS LITTLE APPARENTLY BECAUSE I
MISSED THAT.
I HATE EVERYTHING THAT THIS HAS
BROUGHT ABOUT.
[LAUGHTER]
I HATE THE FACT THAT WE HAVE
ALREADY BEEN TAKEN OVER.
OUR LIVES --
>> THAT’S TRUE.
>> -- ARE IN CONTROL OF US,
THESE PHONES.
YOU GO TO A RESTAURANT HERE, THE
HOT DOG STAND UP AT THE BROOKLYN
DINER, HOT DOG, EVERYBODY AT THE
BAR, EVERYBODY -- THEY ARE ALL
LOOKING AT THEIR PHONES.
NOBODY IS TALKING TO ONE
ANOTHER.
AND BARTENDERS, WHAT MUST IT BE
LIKE TO BE A BARTENDER TODAY?
YOU DON’T HAVE -- YOU DON’T GET
TO TALK TO PEOPLE ABOUT THEIR
PROBLEMS.
THEY ARE ALL SITTING THERE --
>> THAT’S ONE ASPECT OF IT BUT
AS A WOMAN, BECAUSE AS MUCH AS
THEY SAY MEN ARE STEPPING UP IN
THE CHORES PART, I BEG TO
DIFFER.
>> THEY ARE
>> THEY ARE STEPPING UP A LITTLE
BIT, BUT FOR THE WASHING
MACHINES, VACUUM CLEANERS THAT
DO THE JOB FOR US, I MEAN, THESE
ARE INCREDIBLE TIME-SAVING
GADGETS.
I AGREE WITH YOU ON THE PHONE,
BUT MAYBE WE OUGHT TO WATCH THIS
AND GET SOME MORE OF THESE
THINGS.
>> WE HAVE A DISH WASHING
MACHINE, WE HAVE ONE THAT’S SO
ADVANCED, I NEVER HAVE TO TURN
IT ON.
I DON’T KNOW HOW TO TURN IT ON.
I WASH DISHES BY HAND.
>> YOU DON’T HAVE NINE KIDS.
YOU WOULDN’T WASH BY HAND.
>> WHEN YOU GO OUT TO DINNER
WITH YOUR FRIENDS NEXT TIME,
HAVE EVERYBODY TAKE THEIR PHONE
AND PUT IT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE
TABLE.
THE FIRST ONE TO GRAB THAT PHONE
