00:00 The Jetsons 1963, issue 8.
00:04 After an off panel where George goes all the way to the Spacely Sprockets work computer to put in a paper and get it to Elroy,
00:12 and he thanks him for helping him with his homework,
00:14 George refuses to buy a space car for Judy because he already has too many bills to pay,
00:20 and Judy's selfish, so all she does is express jealousy that all of the other teens have their own space cars.
00:27 Why did she call teens "kids" when she's a teen?
00:31 Teens don't think of themselves as kids. They take pride in being not kids anymore.
00:37 George says she should just "zoom skate" to school because he had to as a kid.
00:42 She says it's kiddy and slow because it takes her almost two minutes to go to school.
00:48 I always appreciate that the show's idea of having comedy at its characters' expense is often just making them look spoiled.
00:56 And it worked because the technology they reference is interesting and makes me excited for the actual future.
01:02 What other series does that?
01:05 George smartly suggests driving her to school on his way to work every morning.
01:10 He reminds her that when he was her age, if he wanted something, he had to go out and push buttons for it.
01:16 This makes me smile.
01:18 He sees a teenage girl driving a car because Judy wastes time pointing that out when the arguments didn't work before.
01:26 George says he's not childish enough to want to keep up with the neighbors, even though he wanted that an issue too, so this must be before then.
01:34 But then he thinks that he would like to show the neighbor up anyways.
01:38 His car gets surrounded by other ones, and he calls it a "traffic jam" and is wondering why nobody just flies down or up to get around the cars.
01:48 Law or not, everyone would do that. Who's watching?
01:51 Every single road ever would need a constant traffic cop.
01:56 Judy realizes that George was right and people should try to earn money to buy what they want.
02:02 Not everyone's allowed to, though.
02:04 George admits that Judy should have a car, and Jane says Judy would like a car and looks at the trading stamps she's been secretly saving for a long time and plans to use them to get a space car.
02:16 I don't like where this is going.
02:19 But to be fair, they had no way of communicating because Judy was stuck in school and I have to assume cell phones are rightfully banned in there.
02:27 Because we don't see anything under risk to communicate when Judy says she's not going to the soda shop with a friend that invites her there.
02:35 Naturally, Judy went all over town and ends up walking out of the employment agency without a job because nobody wants to give her a chance at her age.
02:45 So they go to the ripoff of Pop-Tate's, complain with the man at the desk being balding.
02:51 He's so tired that he says Judy working for him is a good idea.
02:55 It's sad when a character's hard work doesn't pay off.
02:59 She went all over town for nothing when she was better off going here right away.
03:04 We see her holding sundaes, thankfully smiling as she's respectfully told to give someone one by a customer.
03:11 She gets a fun job where she gets to be with her friends and get paid.
03:15 While the story could have very easily not been this lighthearted, I appreciate it.
03:20 At the end of the afternoon, she's sad that the customers don't tip well.
03:24 And she says it'll take her years to buy a car this way.
03:28 Wow, the shop she works at actually has the name "Pops" in it.
03:32 That's so close to Pop-Tate's.
03:34 It has to be intentional.
03:36 The mean-looking big guy says as smoke comes from his car that this will ruin his schedule for the day.
03:42 And his friend wants to have the car fixed.
03:44 Pop tells Judy that the guy walking in is literally named John D. Megabucks.
03:50 He'd only have this last name if he changed it to brag about his wealth.
03:55 He decides to wait in the soda shop because it's cool.
03:58 And when Judy offers to get him something, he supposes that he's forced to buy something to sit here.
04:04 So he asks her to bring him anything.
04:07 At least he isn't picky about food.
04:10 Surprisingly, he softens up on enjoying the sundae because it makes him nostalgic and wants another one.
04:15 He ends up having 16 sodas and a banana split.
04:20 Which would only be possible with magic or technology.
04:23 Either he paid for himself to get given a bottomless appetite with genetic engineering or nanobots.
04:30 Or he's the descendant of witches and was blessed with a huge appetizer reward.
04:34 Which I always have to assume is the case for Jughead.
04:37 Because while he seems like a mutant, it's not the X-Men universe where normal humans can get born with magic for no reason.
04:43 He insists that because he had a great afternoon, he's coming back twice a week with both of them here.
04:49 And he gives them both a year's tips in advance.
04:52 I'm fine with this because it's not dark.
04:55 While this was unlikely, it's not impossible.
04:58 We even get to find out what Pop would spend the money on.
05:01 A supersonic rocking chair.
05:04 Though if you were rocked that fast, you'd obviously die.
05:07 So I have to assume a supersonic rocking chair is supposed to be able to fly you around quickly like a jet.
05:13 Not just rock fast.
05:15 Judy gets out of the space car center with a car.
05:19 But sadly, Jane drives out of the redemption store with a car as well.
05:24 Wait a minute. What's wrong with her having her own car?
05:27 That's supposed to be the standard.
05:29 George got a car too, of course.
05:31 I don't really see why he shouldn't replace his own car with this one.
05:35 What's the problem, actually?
05:37 By coincidence, the whole Jetsons family reunite while driving home in their new cars.
05:42 And a man shows up to tell them he's from the Orbit Cereal Company.
05:47 And George won a car in their big jingle contest.
05:51 The entire family faints, an unrealistically emotional reaction, so it'd be a stretch if even one person fainted.
05:58 It should've just been Jane. She nearly fainted at just seeing a hat.
06:02 The Jetsons become a five-car family.
06:05 Somehow having Elroy drive one of the cars on his own, because he's an inventor genius,
06:11 but still, the cops would pull him over.
06:13 Rosa gets to drive one of the cars.
06:15 They get five times as many gas bills.
06:18 They would've expected that.
06:20 Jane crashes into a wall, looking only mildly inconvenient.
06:24 So she must not have been driving very fast.
06:27 She'd only crash because she was established to suck at driving in the show.
06:31 At least no one else was bad at driving, even though you'd think it'd be Elroy who'd do the crashing.
06:37 The story insists on ending with George making his own used car lot to sell those four cars.
06:43 Even though it's blatantly obvious that with all the new money Judy's gonna be bringing in twice a week,
06:49 which shouldn't have been mentioned if it'll be ignored,
06:52 he could've afforded the gas bills just fine.
06:56 I guess not. Maybe Judy still wouldn't have made the money to cover it, even with Mr. Moneybags,
07:02 because gas is just that expensive.
07:05 But I didn't get that impression.
07:07 I hate how unfair this ending is.
07:09 You see it coming from a mile away, and the comic isn't allergic to happy endings.
07:15 I wish we saw a really chew-em-out for this.
07:18 At the very least, they should have two cars.
07:21 In the next story, Elroy plays fetch with Astro with his new stick ring.
07:26 The stick fetches the dog.
07:28 Elroy sets it on super far fetch, and it immediately backfires because it heads for the window,
07:34 so it's only really meant to be used in places with a lot of empty space.
07:38 So once again, a plot only happens because of a smart person's stupidity.
07:42 As a man who wants to advertise dog food says that all he wants is a dog that looks like a normal dog.
07:48 At least this means that by sheer luck it's gonna be a good thing that he was stupid, making up for the idiot ball.
07:55 The anti-gravity stick breaks the window, and the man gets impressed and wants to follow Astro,
08:00 so he grabs his leg.
08:02 There's no reason someone should ask him where he's going when clearly it'd be Astro's idea.
08:07 The man gets brought to Elroy, and I find it funny that all he does is state the obvious.
08:12 It looks like my stick fetched more than Astro.
08:15 Elroy unnecessarily says he should scold him instead of Astro because it was his fault he got dropped on the ground and stuff.
08:22 That's good to drive home the fact that he's unusually nice,
08:25 but it's confusing that it doesn't mean he has the restraints because of that same compassion to not misbehave.
08:31 Predictably, Astro gets offered an advertising job.
08:35 He says Astro is the plainest looking dog he ever saw, even though he's a great dean,
08:41 and Astro is smart enough to understand what he's saying,
08:44 but not smart enough to restrain himself from biting at his pants.
08:48 Luckily, this still leads to Astro getting the job.
08:51 He even has him put his paw print on a contract.
08:55 I feel like that wouldn't happen in real life.
08:58 Wouldn't it be the dog's owner writing his signature?
09:02 The man says he'll send a limo to pick him up in the morning,
09:05 and Astro's image ends up recognized by the average person on the dog food boxes.
09:10 The family is amused at seeing Astro eating the dog food at the same time that a commercial shows it,
09:16 and George says it's like seeing double.
09:18 Rosie's annoyed that Astro doesn't need her because he's got his own maid,
09:23 rather than appreciating that she doesn't have to do as much work.
09:26 It's nice of Astro to regularly pay George.
09:29 Predictably, Astro's fame backfires on him.
09:32 When Auro is playing fetch, someone takes Astro's picture,
09:36 and a kid wants to play with him too,
09:38 and his mom says they should all play fetch.
09:41 But since he was called "just a plain old dog",
09:44 you'd think there'd be tons of dogs looking just like him by sharing the same breed.
09:49 Unless he's the last of his kind, in which case he wouldn't have been hired.
09:54 It makes no sense that people would see him in person and assume it's him and not a different dog.
09:59 Do dogs and commercials have to deal with this?
10:02 Auro runs into the tube with Astro to avoid the obnoxious people with no self-control,
10:08 and it's sweet that he laughs while sitting on him.
10:10 Because Astro barks for no reason, which he could've easily not done,
10:15 some bodyguards run to the house and accuse him of fighting him,
10:19 even though they know that Auro is his best friend by now.
10:23 There's no reason he'd have hired bodyguards when he can defend himself,
10:27 and has nothing he needs defending from.
10:30 And this makes me wish he did talk like Scooby-Doo for a second,
10:33 because then this wouldn't have happened.
10:35 He tells Elroy Astro is so valuable that they can't take a chance on him getting hurt.
10:40 This only makes sense because pretty soon he's due at the plants for some publicity,
10:45 when I'd think they were completely done with him because he already did his commercial.
10:49 Elroy's upset, and Astro decides he'd rather choose Elroy over money,
10:54 so he refuses to act in the commercial.
10:56 And the man makes himself look silly by saying,
10:59 "If you don't live up to it, I'll put you in dog jail,
11:02 and if they don't have dog jails, I'll build one."
11:05 Astro gets an idea to pretend to pass out
11:08 every time he's brought the dog food for a redundant other commercial.
11:12 See, I love this franchise.
11:14 This is noticeably better than IW because even the family dog gets smart ideas.
11:19 To make believable characters that feel like real people you'd get invested in,
11:24 you need to make them capable of using their brains for ideas a lot,
11:27 so that I can get a sense that they're able to have thoughts,
11:29 and not just do the obvious only idea either.
11:32 The boss calls out that Astro getting sick whenever he sees Zoom Pop is impossible,
11:38 and says to call a doctor.
11:40 It really didn't matter.
11:42 It doesn't have to be that these guys bought this,
11:44 because there definitely wouldn't be dog jails in the first place.
11:48 And I'm sure he was just making an empty threat,
11:51 because it'd be illegal to put him in a dog jail,
11:53 since it'd separate him from his family against their will.
11:56 So Astro didn't need this, when either way,
11:58 the boss would've never had Astro do a commercial right again,
12:02 so he'd be forced to tear up the contract anyways.
12:05 He says that if it gets out that Astro developed an allergy to Zoom Pop,
12:09 the sales of it would drop from Zoom Pop being a laughing stock.
12:13 So he tears up the contract, and tells George to keep this all a secret.
12:18 I feel like more than that would have to be done,
12:21 involving a judge, to get out of a contract.
12:24 So I'm tearing it up with just a symbolic gesture.
12:27 Because what if something eventually happens to a contract?
12:30 It shouldn't invalidate it.
12:33 Somehow, George bought the lie too,
12:36 and fortunately he doesn't take away the box of dog food,
12:39 and not let Astro eat Zoom Pop,
12:42 after he sees Astro pour himself some dog food.
12:46 The story ends with Elroy playing fetch,
12:48 telling him to not let history repeat itself.
12:51 And for some reason, a text box says that the moral of the story is that
12:55 you can teach an old dog new tricks.
12:58 Which is true, and sometimes they can even teach themselves.
13:01 Astro was never taught any new tricks though.
13:04 In the next story, a man with a small mustache and briefcase saying "Robot Revivers, Inc."
13:10 tells Jane that he's a new company that's passing through the neighborhood
13:14 to conveniently give every robot a complete pepping up.
13:18 That seems pretty convenient.
13:20 The service is free, and he makes an excuse to advertise the company,
13:24 but why do that at a loss like this?
13:27 Of course, thank goodness it turns out it's a scam,
13:29 because this makes way more sense than I'm telling the truth.
13:33 Jane says she'll finish punching out dinner, and the bad guy with no name
13:37 (geez, I hope it's not that most of the bad guys have no names)
13:41 has the sense to turn Rosie off before putting a special antenna on her
13:45 that's had the same frequency as the control box in his hideout.
13:49 So any order he gives will make a robot obey him over the family.
13:54 If it was that easy for someone that seems like a normal guy to do this,
13:58 wouldn't this be leading up to a Robotnik taking over the world scenario?
14:02 I have to assume that it's too easy to stop this kind of plan,
14:06 which it will be if even these average people stop it.
14:10 And that's why it hasn't resulted in every robot being taken over by a dictator wannabe,
14:15 as this plan would be happening all the time if it's so easy.
14:18 Shouldn't he know his plan won't work if it's been done before?
14:21 Well, I assume that when the plan gets stopped,
14:23 the crime gets hidden from the media to avoid causing a huge backlash
14:27 and panic against robots from a fear of a robot uprising.
14:31 So no. I guess this technology was just invented.
14:35 But how? He decides to give Rosie a squirt of oil so they'll think he did something.
14:41 Naturally, she asks him why she was turned off,
14:44 and he gives a good explanation that he does a better job without interference.
14:48 And makes himself look polite by telling her to tell Jane good day for him.
14:53 Rosie says it doesn't feel like it did her much good.
14:56 I'm just relieved that he didn't outright damage her.
14:59 I thought he was going to every house to damage the robots there,
15:02 in a plan to charge people for repairs.
15:05 That night, he reveals that he wired every robot maid in the neighborhood,
15:09 and he speaks into a microphone telling them to take all of the valuables from their home
15:13 and follow the signal beam to him.
15:16 This is a more believable way of someone taking control of a bunch of robots
15:19 than how Starline took control of all of those robots just by pressing a convenience button,
15:23 which I don't remember why it even exists.
15:26 For the robots there had no reason to be all connected to something that could be hacked into.
15:30 But here, an antenna is on each of the robots.
15:34 He wants to have the neighborhood cleaned out in a week.
15:37 It's a smart money making scheme as far as I can tell.
15:40 Now I have to assume that he knows the idea of running the world would bore him.
15:44 Because he could obviously give these people ray guns to have an army to take over the country.
15:50 George comments on a newspaper article about this continuing,
15:53 and I like that Rosie says "Why can't people act more like robots? We never steal."
15:59 Jane's worried that she may be next.
16:02 I thought they'd be the first because the fact that this guy was saying his plan
16:07 implied that this was the first time he did this because it's a novelty to him still.
16:12 And that's while ignoring the fact that it's always forced to have a character talk to himself.
16:17 George Tomahouse says no crook would come around here because they'd be scared of him,
16:22 even though he'd remember Astro scaring away a burglar in his debut episode.
16:27 And even his doghouse happened to do that.
16:31 Rosie says George isn't rough on anything, and calls him out as a big ear.
16:36 She gets taken over. George naturally sneaks out of his room trying to get another piece of cake.
16:42 And I like that there's a check of his gun because it's the same cake she said he can't get enough of earlier.
16:48 He sees Rosie holding valuables and stupidly talks right behind her stating the obvious.
16:54 He doesn't know she's being controlled, so he should've known to stay quiet.
16:58 He says he can't figure out what she'd need the money for, at least doubting that she'd do this at first,
17:04 before planning to sneak a peek at her hideout.
17:07 He sees her delivering valuables to the guy that Jane saw earlier,
17:11 and the guy brags about his plan which is a little justified
17:14 because he's commenting on how it's the last delivery of the night.
17:18 He had to talk himself to conveniently clue in George that he was just controlling these robots.
17:23 But he wouldn't have said that.
17:25 It's not like he's got a wife and he's telling her this for the first time.
17:29 He says the robots don't even remember doing this, so that's even more smart of him.
17:34 But what are the chances that George would be the only one following his maid bot here?
17:39 George trips over the garbage can in front of him because he was somehow too stupid to just turn around and run away like anyone else would.
17:48 When he had no reason to walk straight ahead.
17:50 So the noise causes the bad guy to go after him with a gun for a while.
17:54 He gets distracted by bragging about the fact that Rosie won't obey him,
17:59 which gives him time to tackle him after he's done talking.
18:02 What are the chances Rosie would be here and not some other robot though?
18:06 There's nothing special about her to him.
18:08 She'd already be on her way home.
18:10 The stray bullet ricochets off the wall and very conveniently bends her left antenna,
18:16 freeing her mind so that she could be there to save George's life and spank him.
18:22 At which we saw her hand actually impact him because it ruins the satisfaction of slapstick by not showing that.
18:29 George is smart enough to congratulate her.
18:32 He plans to take this guy to the police station.
18:35 This time we are told he got reward money and Rosie says she's embarrassed of being controlled.
18:42 She says if robots could blush, she would.
18:45 So the artist should have not drawn it to be blushing.
18:48 She reminds me of Mina here.
18:50 Then someone goes up to George offering a free bottle of robot rub metal polish to all of the families here.
18:57 Naturally, Rosie doesn't trust them and presses a button off screen to send him out of the home ejection tube below the house.
19:04 That goes all the way down to just above the ground.
19:07 It was a sad day for salesmen when they invented home injection tubes.
19:12 In the next story, Jane says George has been as nervous as an old hen.
19:17 It must be a common phrase because how does she know what an old hen acts like?
19:21 She tries to help him relax by advising him to watch TV.
19:25 He's tired of watching TV every weekend and says the family needs to change.
19:29 Naturally, Elroy suggests changing the channel for him because he said he was tired of the hosts on the TV.
19:36 The host starts doing a sponsored ad where he asks if people are tired of their routine
19:42 and suggests to them buying their own private planet to get away from it all.
19:46 How could any average Joe afford to then do it so easily?
19:50 It sounds like a scam.
19:52 It reminds me of the whole make yourself lord over some Scottish land even though you'll never go there scam.
19:57 Jane already foreshadows that this will backfire because she thinks it's a stupid idea without explaining why for some reason.
20:04 The next day, the family is in the car as she's still lecturing him, saying that she's getting nervous.
20:10 He drives away from home saying that they gave him a roadmap and instructions with his contract.
20:16 Judy asks why they call it the sunny side asteroids when they're on the dark side of the moon.
20:22 George says that's an intelligent question but still tells her to start looking for number 13 where he's allowed to park.
20:29 He looks forward to his vacation home because it's an early American model.
20:33 Go figure he's disappointed even though he should have expected it to be old looking.
20:38 So he doesn't like the cabin's looks.
20:41 He wonders if this is what they meant by paved streets as he looks at a street sign saying Elm with a plus shaped piece of pavement under it.
20:50 Judy's nervous because of this place even though the family learned to appreciate old-fashioned camping just because this place is old.
20:58 Jane says this place doesn't have plumbing and George complains because the ad said there was plenty of hot water.
21:05 It turns out it's just lying without technically lying because the water is just a geyser.
21:11 Jane complains about having no beauty parlors or neighbors to gossip with because she's insecure enough to care about her appearance that much
21:19 and lonely and curious enough to want to gossip.
21:22 At least now I know what her hobby is but it's too boring.
21:26 Judy's only sad that there's no boys of course and Elroy hates that they're out of TV reception range.
21:33 And I don't see Astro for him to play with because they trusted him at home alone and somehow nobody thought to bring any books.
21:41 That would keep them entertained enough to make this a relaxing weekend.
21:45 George says this is the first time he felt relaxed in weeks but the chair breaks on him because this really was a scam.
21:53 Jane's not a good wife by joking about him getting hurt instead of showing that she cares.
21:58 He refuses to go home because the brochure said the fishing was unique here.
22:02 He holds Elroy's hand telling him that they're going fishing and Elroy's confused because they didn't bring the sonar array to sound him out of the water.
22:11 That's interesting and he must have not brought it on purpose to have the novelty of doing it the real way.
22:17 He brought fishing poles like great-grandpa used to use and Jane has a good sense to have faith in George to learn his lesson.
22:25 Elroy surprisingly gets a bite and it's a giant scary alien serpent.
22:30 He must have not actually wanted to hurt them because they wouldn't have a chance to row back to dry land.
22:36 It was too predictable that they would run into unusual sea creatures.
22:40 It was also foreshadowed that they'd get nothing because they aren't using the sonar array.
22:45 But that'd be boring.
22:47 The alien chases him onto dry land which is both tense and funny as George just says "I haven't been right about anything today."
22:54 Thankfully, Judy and Jane were doing something for once that was useful.
23:00 They baked a cake and Judy's helping her carry it.
23:03 She screams and drops the plate and runs away from the alien which eats the cake but hates it.
23:09 Which was foreshadowed because Judy said it's been a long time since Jane made a cake.
23:14 And the alien storms off with a stomachache.
23:17 Miraculously not the type to kill them anyways to vent.
23:20 Elroy says now he knows why Jane always buys him a cake.
23:24 I'm disappointed in Jane and Judy for not being able to make cakes.
23:28 I thought I'd love the cake but be so full that it wouldn't feel like eating them.
23:32 But this is more believable and it really worked out.
23:35 George parks a car in front of a building.
23:37 He says he wants to thank that show he watched for the commercial.
23:41 Sadly, we don't get to see him punch the host of it.
23:44 He comes back to the car relaxed when he should be scared of being charged with assault.
23:50 But good thing it's being lighthearted.
23:52 Somehow none of his more sensible family is scared of that and is better relaxed when they go home.
23:58 Maybe the reason he's not scared is that he punched the host from behind and there were no cameras or witnesses to catch him.
24:05 He's happy to turn on the show because he gets to see the host with a black eye.
24:10 And see him nervously lie that he got it going in a door marked out and fake laugh about it.
24:15 Then there's a black and white page where George tells Jane that a seat spring in their car popped loose.
24:21 And it appears to be very expensive because he was sitting there when it popped loose.
24:25 And that caused them to break through the window.
24:28 And I assume it's made of easily breakable glass specifically because, well maybe because of this.
24:33 But also because if someone's thrown clear above the flying car, they won't get killed.
24:39 Like they definitely would if they smacked into unbreakable glass and the sudden stop absorbed all of the impact.
24:46 But the thing is they still would get killed when they land from that kind of height.
24:51 And shattered glass would kill them anyways.
24:54 The first story is about Judy wanting a car.
24:57 And because George gets jealous that his neighbors are one-upping him because they could afford to get their daughter a car.
25:03 He decides to buy her one only after dropping her off at school.
25:07 He could have avoided the whole plot if he told her he would buy one as soon as he got jealous.
25:11 But I guess his pride was too stubborn for him to say that right away because it'd be a 180 from his vehement no.
25:17 So Judy works hard at Pop-Tate's, lucking out by getting a rich customer.
25:22 And not only does she buy a car but Jane and George get cars too.
25:25 George hates the gas bills.
25:27 Oh yeah, just completely ignore the taxes on the things.
25:30 And then we see an enraging ending where he tries to sell all of them.
25:34 At least we don't see them get sold.
25:36 But still it was always obvious that maybe Judy could afford to pay off those bills.
25:40 Why else have Megabucks say that he'll be coming back twice a week?
25:44 So he should have only sold one car.
25:47 And then there's a story where Astro gets famous because an ad guy thought he was a plain looking dog.
25:54 Because of a different universe where great gains aren't considered very impressive.
25:59 And then there's a story about someone kidnapping the maid bots by putting antennas on them.
26:05 And forcing them to steal.
26:07 But George ends up foiling another criminal in the process because he got insanely lucky.
26:12 It's a story about someone pretending to be a robot doctor for the neighborhood giving out free tune-ups.
26:18 And Jane's so trusting that she leaves him alone with Rosie to make dinner.
26:23 I guess he just isn't the type to want to weaponize them to take over the world.
26:28 So he spends so much time doing this that he gets his plan foiled.
26:32 From some miracle, Rosie's right behind George when he's being threatened.
26:36 When she would be heading home right now.
26:38 So his haunting of George means he's able to surprise tackle him.
26:42 And make his gun shoot in a way that has the bullet ricochet.
26:45 And it gets even less believable when the bullet miraculously hits the control antenna freeing Rosie and saving George.
26:51 But maybe George could have gotten out of this without her.
26:54 He still had the gun nearby.
26:56 This guy wasn't holding it when he tried to threaten him.
26:59 But George shouldn't have said he thinks he's doomed like a coward when he had no reason not to fight back.
27:05 The last one was a story where George sees an ad about buying some private planet to get away from it all.
27:11 And even though there'd have to be a reason why his property is so cheap that anyone could buy it.
27:16 He still buys it and visits it.
27:18 So along with Jane being worried, it's predictable that this backfires.
27:22 But because it's sci-fi, it goes from a plot that would be easy to come up with for a mundane sitcom to a more interesting one.
27:29 Sure, I bet the fact that it's just an outdated cabin is cliche.
27:33 Not that I've seen this plot before.
27:35 But if it wasn't on a private planet, George would have had a good excuse to see a giant alien in a fishing lake.
27:42 And had to run back to the cabin with it still following him.
27:46 I may have been disappointed that Jane and Judy can't even bake a cake right.
27:49 But it was for the best because the cake scared the alien away.
27:53 I wish this felt more like a sci-fi series by never being too lazy to give the alien a name.
27:58 Naming your alien species makes the audience feel more invested in the world.
28:03 But instead, this is just considered "monster" or "wonking-lonk-nest monster".
28:08 It doesn't look like one, but it's still a monster in a lake when the lake wouldn't have enough food to feed it.
28:14 Even if the lake creatures are unusually nutrient-filled.
28:17 So it'd have to feed off an unusually high amount of flying creatures to survive.
28:22 Because they all flock to this place.
28:24 Good thing it can walk on land.
28:26 Now it makes perfect sense that it gets enough to eat.
28:29 Once the owner of this property know about this thing and not want to risk getting sued by sending people to it.
28:34 I have to assume he thought everyone who came here would be killed by it.
28:38 So that they wouldn't be able to tell people it sucked and no one would know what happened to them.
28:42 It's like Max Gamble when he invited people to buy a vacation in an island full of Eggman's traps.
