Answer:
George Jetson and his family live in the Skypad Apartments, which are based in Orbit City, in the future. This future provides the family with all sorts of mod-cons such as robots that act as servants, flying saucers instead of cars and sidewalks (or footpaths) that transport people in a similar fashion to conveyor belts.
George is your typical (average) man who, despite living in the future, is still beset with similar problems that you and I may encounter. These would include problems with his work, issues with his boss, and tribulations with his children. The poor man is constantly stressed out by his massive workload... I mean, he has to push the same button five times for three whole hours for three days... and that's every week. George is regularly fired by his boss but, invariably, he is usually called back before the episode is over.
His wife Jane is a homemaker though, she too, constantly complains about the amount of work she has to do... such are the pains of having an automated apartment where all the work is done with the simple push of a single button. This proves too difficult that, even with the employment of a robot to assist with the domestic duties, Jane is required to take regular vacations. Jane loves to shop and she is regularly seen at Mooning Dales where she indulges in new gadgets and fashions.
Their fifteen-year-old daughter is Judy who spends a lot of time talking on the phone. She also has her mother's habit of being attracted to the latest fashion trends, records her daily events into a robotic diary called Di-Di and has a massive crush on a rock star named Jet Screamer, to whom George takes an initial dislike.
Their boy Elroy is six and a half years old and is an absolute whiz at science craft. He is the family's little angel, and he attends the Little Dipper School where he studies astrophysics and star geometry. The rest of the household is made up of Astro, the family dog, who had runaway from a cruel millionaire owner and was taken in by the Jetsons and Rosie, the abovementioned domestic robot, who rolls around on casters and has a habit of calling George "Mr J.". A character that was not sought for in the answers is Orbitty, another family pet, who has legs that are made of springs and suction caps for feet.
The Spacely family is headed by Mr. Spacely, or Cosmo to some. Cosmo is George's demanding boss and the owner of Spacely Space Sprockets. Despite being money-driven and giving George a hard time, he is not without a heart. He represents something of an anti-hero in the series and is a man who is short in both stature and temper. Petunia, whom he calls Stella, is his wife. Cosmo loves her dearly, but he is also terrified of her, while his son Arthur is a lazy sod with the nasty habit of looking down on people. Finally, there is Orwell, Cosmo's nephew. Orwell is also a bit of a genius and he has the happy knack of creating gadgets that prove extremely useful and profitable for Spacely Sprockets.
"The Jetsons" is an animated comedy created by the team at Hanna-Barbera Productions. It was designed to be the counterpoint to their stone-age comedy "The Flintstones" (1960-66). "The Jetsons" aired on the ABC from 1962 to 1963.

From Quiz: The 'Jetsons' Theme Song
Answer: Little Dipper School
One thing is certain about the Little Dipper School. Nobody there was praying for a safe landing at school. 1962 was a significant year in American education, marked by the Engel v. Vitale Supreme Court case. This finding banned public schools from offering prayer on the basis of the "Establishment Clause" of the U.S. Constitution which effectively prohibits the state from establishing a state religion. Many see 1962 as the beginning of the modern 'home schooling' movement.

Answer: Montague
Montague Jetson is a 110-year-old man whose charm and enthusiasm has a positive effect on everyone - except for a young policeman who keeps trying to get the old man to drive more slowly in his single-seat sports car. But that energy ends up creating some problems when his actions confuse the family. When he tries to get a dog license for Astro, Jane and Judy think he's getting a marriage license. To compound the problem, he brings home the baby of a woman who is going off on her second honeymoon. The cops show up after the woman tells them that she and he husband changed their minds and wanted to bring the baby with them. As he heads out of town, the police officer warns all units to let Montague go, if they know what's good for them.
From Quiz: "The Jetsons": The First Season
Answer: Red, Orange, White, Blonde
I remember from High School genetics talking about simple cases of probability of hair color based on Mendell's research... however "In general, dark hair is dominant over light. But as with eye color, your baby's hair can turn out to be a beautiful range of shades between your hair color and that of your partner. It depends on the colors, or pigments, you both have in your hair and how they mix. Parents with similar hair color may have a baby with a hue that's slightly different, but within their color range.
But surprise colors can certainly appear from parents with different hair colors. This usually occurs when a recessive color gene in one parent comes through and mixes with another one. So a black-haired parent carrying a recessive gene for blond hair could potentially have a blond child if that gene is expressed and mixes with a blond gene from the other parent." -Denise Porretto in "Baby Magazine"

Answer: Tralfaz
The wealthy Gottrockets and his attorney, Withers, go to court to reclaim custody of the Jetsons' beloved pet, which Elroy brought home in the episode "The Coming of Astro". Gottrockets wins his case by proving Astro's pedigree and begins referring to the dog by his original name, Tralfaz. Though Astro has everything he could ever want at paw's length, he longs to be back with the Jetsons in their more humble surroundings. Eventually, Gottrockets has Withers draw up the paperwork to give the dog to the Jetsons for good.

Walking is the kind of exercise that promotes greater fitness and improved health in workers like George Jetson who are stuck in sedentary desk jobs. Walking helps to lower cholesterol and blood pressure, and reduce the risk of diabetes. Unlike George's romp with Astro, walking generally brings about an improvement in mood. Rorry, Reorge!
