    I always loved the Conan O’Brien “In the year 2000” bit, and it got even funnier after it actually was 2000.

        IIRC, the Jetsons came back to the past to sue everyone for ignoring climate change? I just remember them having to walk rather than use a moving walkway and taking a whole day to reach Harvey’s desk. Man, what an awesome show!

          thejetsons.fandom.com/Back_to_the_Present (??):

          In the far off year of 2002, the Jetsons live in their luxurious, futuristic house high above the Earth’s surface. Their lives are suddenly turned upside down when the water level begins rising at an alarming rate. Global warming caused the ice caps to melt, and the Earth to become nothing but water. Suddenly, mutants begin breaking into the house, which is unable to get high enough to be out of the water’s reach.

          It’s funny because that was 12 years ago!
