Jane, Elroy, and Judy Spaceton.
The Jetsons was a prime-time animated sitcom from Hanna-Barbera which originally aired on ABC from 1962-1963. A new batch of episodes were created for syndication between 1985 and 1987. Like their stone age counterpart The Flintstones, the series envisioned modern life and culture in a world of a futuristic utopia of robots and machines, versus the prehistoric world of dinosaurs and bird devices.

- In the Muppet Babies episode "Muppet Babies: The Next Generation," an elaborate spoof is featured during the episode, with Baby Kermit, Baby Piggy, Baby Rowlf, Skeeter, and Baby Bean Bunny taking on the role of the "Spacetons." The episode features a riff on the theme song, and many of the classic Jetsons gags, including the automated dog-walker.
