In making fun of a co-worker for having a check-out process that's eerily similar to the opening sequence of the Flintstones, I noticed something peculiar.
The Flintstones opens with Fred leaving work and coming back home, whereas the Jetsons introduction chronicles the beginning of the family members' day.
This confounds me. Why wouldn't the Jetsons (which came later) stay with the same template established by the Flintstones? Is there a specific reason for this Bizarro opening?
Conspiracy Theory #26:
When Fred Flinstone gets home and goes to sleep, the slumber lasts thousands of years, and he turns into George Jetson, scrambling to get his family dropped off and his ass to work.
I bet the writers had this planned all along. What sadistic, sad geniuses.
