not going to ooh and aah over this just because it's the Jetsons... definitely going to reserve judgement on this until I see the Jetsons universe brought to life...

I think there might already be a thread for this.

But anyway, I wasn't against this until I saw that it would be multi-camera. It's like, hey we've got a high concept thing here, let's produce it in the cheapest way we can.
