One of those 1000 free games that promise no spyware. It was indeed in the air-about 25000 feet. It was in the form of a pool table and the goal was to hit the ball into a funnel where the ball would drop to earth - i guess. It was fun.

Why was a flying dog special? However. Unemployent checks sure didn't beat inflation. Err. or won't, and they still portrayed unemployment and I remember episodes of the poor walking on the ground! Also. Why was a 'flying dog' special and not a 'talking dog'? That’s what I was thinking, Edd. Why was a flying dog special?

Guess everyone has favorites, and not-so-favorites, from the original 1962 series. What puzzles me is the same question I have about "The Flying Suit", if everything flys in the Jetsons' world what makes a flying dog, (or suit), so special? Even as a 5 year old the plot of episode 12 left me scratching my head. I'm sure Uniblab could've explained everything to me . . . but that's for another episode! Remember the television kid's motto: "if it's animated - it's worth watching", lol. That motto helped me later in the go-go 1960's as Hanna-Barbera introduced many varied cartoon series in that ever expanding Saturday morning content Battle of the Networks. (Btw, did Space Ghost win that battle?) Hey Matt, thank you for being so honest in your feelings about this episode of the Jetsons.
