The premier was Sunday September 21st. The big promo, voiced by Paul Frees, had the byline, "Blast into the 21st Century with the Jetsons, premiering Sunday, September 21st."
ABC reserved the Circle for the fall premier. It was a reworking of previous logos that began with a large lower case "a" with the letters abc inside. That was simplified to a circle with the same letters in outline. Then the more "modern" design with the letter in a black circle to appear to their switch to color.
So , people be carefull ,when buying dvd's. season one ended in 1963 , season two started in 1985 . Alot of people think there watching the 1960's episodes and there the 1980's . It confused me a few times.
Only about 50 years until we get cities in the sky, flying cars, pushbutton jobs, and personal service robots? I am still waiting for the rocket belts and laser guns Jonny Quest promised me!
That promo for ABC-TV was for the 1962-'63 season, though that commercial itself came out in the late Summer of 1962, when ABC didn't have the ABC Circle logo yet, which came out during that season.

I like clips like these. They give you a glimpse of what television [and the world] was like back then.

if jetsons took place in 2062 then wouldn't all this tech be a little drastic by now?

To be fair this show takes place in 2062 so it isn't outdated yet.

Wow, this is almost 50 years old now, and still one of the best cartoons ever!

George O Hanlon was Riley's neighbor. You could also see George if you remember the Behind The Eight Ball series of shorts. MGM.
