The Jetsons Meet the Flintstones

      2-hour television movie, syndicated (November 9, 1987)

      Synopsis:

        As George Jetson tries to prove that he is not leaking secret Spacely Sprockets information to competitor Cogswell Coggs, stone age Fred and Barney make plans to double their vacation fund in a high stakes poker game. Forced to work late the night of the poker game, Fred and Barney try to find a way to sneak into the game past Mr. Slate and end up fired --- which means the wives' lovely extravagant vacation gets turns into a camping trip.

        George discovers that the leak is his own lovestruck computer RUDI, but before he gets a chance to tell his boss, the Jetson family finds themselves zapped back to the stone age (in a time machine built by George's son Elroy) --- where they come face to face with the prehistoric Flintstones and Rubbles. Trapped in the past until their time machine if fixed, the Jetsons are graciously put up by the Flintstones. Fred though has secret plans to get his job back by using Elroy's expandable tool bag from the future to win the annual carnival for Mr. Slate, who always loses to Turk Tarpit. As usual, things don't go as planned. The picnic is also the scene of Judi Jetson's latest romance with rock singer Iggy.

        Meanwhile, Henry the maintenance man and Rosie (the Jetson's robot housekeeper) use Elroy's time machine retriever to bring the family back, but inadvertently bring Fred, Wilma, Barney, and Betty by mistake --- trapping the Jetsons with no way to get home. Once Mr. Spacely finds out that the Flintstones are from the past, he decides to use them as a marketing tool, just as Mr. Slate and Turk Tarpit start to market the flying (with anti-gravity boots) George Jetson. Unfortunately, despite all the fortune and George being made partner in Slate and Gravel, the Jetsons are finding themselves missing home and prehistoric life difficult to handle. Fred is made the spokesman for Spacely Sprockets, while its competitor Cogswell Coggs snatches up prehistoric Barney to beat Spacely to the punch --- driving a rift between the Flintstones and Rubbles.

        After Rosie has Henry and a reformed RUDI help her fix the time machine, she heads to the past to retrieve her family and returns with the Jetsons and the Flintstones' car --- which Mr. Spacely and George remake and market to save Spacely Sprockets. With the time machine taking such a beating it is broken for good, and the Flintstones and Rubbles are trapped in the future -- but has their car absorbed enough energy to get them home?
