Jetsons were on 1962-1963 when I was in high school (no kids at that time that I know of). The second problem was in the rural area of upstate NY that I lived in we only got one TV station and that was CBS. We either watched that or nothing. Certainly ended any discussions about what to watch.SewYoung wrote: ↑Mon Mar 22, 2021 3:17 pmIs this a serious a question. I can't believe you don't know.

I am off the couch I think. Waiting confirmation.

I'm pretty sure it's a joke, because I was going to say exactly the same thing. I've heard of The Jetsons, of course, but I've never actually watched an episode.SewYoung wrote: ↑Mon Mar 22, 2021 3:17 pmIs this a serious a question. I can't believe you don't know.

Awaiting confirmation but I'm pretty sure that I am off the (cat-clawed) couch. LOL'd at Jay's clue for 75A!
Good luck, fellow Muggles!

OTC pending confirmation.
Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.

Yay, I'm not really old! Or, can you say Natick?Bob cruise director wrote: ↑Mon Mar 22, 2021 9:01 am In doing the grid, anyone who knows 38A without looking it up must be really old (I qualify)
And if that did not date you, 26D certainly will.

Pretty sure I got this one.
But, I got no fun picture! So I'm not sure it counts!
No access to most of my files --
In between computers --
But new one coming just for me later in the week! In a box that will probably be opened by a dino, or something like that --

Zero Hour is an awesome watch if you’ve seen Airplane.ChrisKochmanski wrote: ↑Mon Mar 22, 2021 11:04 am Off the couch!
I knew 38A. But I'm old! Though not old enough, I gather, to know 26D. That came to me from the crossing letters.
Something related, and possibly interesting ... You know, in the silly comedy Airplane!, where Kareem Abdul Jabbar spoofs the disaster movie cliche of casting a sports figure as a co-pilot or firefighter or other minor character ... Someone once pointed out to me that much of Airplane! comes directly from the 1957 movie Zero Hour! In the latter, the sports-hero-in-a-minor role is 38A. See how the movies compare here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8-v2BHNBVCs

Waiting for confirmation. Maybe off the couch, maybe not.
