==Proposed continuations and reboots== A 1974 proposal would have created a sequel series to ''The Jetsons'', set roughly ten years after the original series. CBS rejected the proposal and it was retooled into ''[[Partridge Family 2200 A.D.]]''<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.cmongethappy.com/2200/newpf2200.html|title=Partridge Family, 2200 A.D.: INTRODUCTION|website=www.cmongethappy.com|access-date=2016-04-20|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160610125804/http://www.cmongethappy.com/2200/newpf2200.html|archive-date=2016-06-10|url-status=live}}</ref> [[Paramount Pictures]] first tried to film a live-action version of ''The Jetsons'' in 1985, which was to be executive produced by Gary Nardino, but failed to do so.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yD3XK2CCJKg|title=Paramount's Future- from 1985|date=8 October 2008 |publisher=YouTube|access-date=2014-06-05|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140706052450/http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yD3XK2CCJKg|archive-date=2014-07-06|url-status=live}}</ref> In the late 1980s, [[Universal Pictures]] purchased the film rights for ''The Flintstones'' and ''The Jetsons'' from Hanna-Barbera Productions.
