George Jetson

George Jetson is the patriarch of the Jetsons, and works as a digital index operator (who in one instance starts the universal unisonic digital indexer machine) for Spacely Space Sprockets. In an attempt to get a promotion and pay rise, he's always doing something bigger and more extravagant for his boss, Cosmo Spacely.

Appearance
George is a slim, middle-aged Caucasian of average height. He has red hair and a large nose. He wears a white shirt, which has three, black rectangular shaped buttons, and with the collar up, blue pants held up by a green belt, and white shoes.

Personality
George is a well-meaning, caring father and husband, but he is often befuddled and stressed out between work and family problems. George also has to contend with the pet dog, Astro, who smothers him with affection, and when he complains about it, he usually ends up having to apologise because Astro is over-emotional.

Early life
George worked for Cosmo Spacely, when they were kids, with George running the latter's lemonade stand.

Notes/trivia

 * George is modelled and named after his original portrayer, George O'Hanlon.
 * George's catchphrase is "Hooba-Dooba-Dooba!"
 * In "The Flying Suit", he indirectly reveals he's forty years old, but in "Boy George", he explicitly says he's thirty-eight.
 * In "A Jetson Christmas Carol", a flashback shows that George and Spacely were the same age as kids, even though adult Spacely looks as much as ten years older than George does.
 * George's character model is reused for an unnamed character in the Hanna-Barbera-produced Laurel and Hardy short Mutt Rut.
