Jim Carrey in 2024
After saying in 2022 that he was "being fairly serious" about retiring from acting, Carrey clarified more recently that he "was talking more about 'power-resting.'" He has starred in three Sonic the Hedgehog movies as Dr. Robotnik from 2020 to 2024.
The Jetsons, from Hanna-Barbera Productions and ABC, aired beginning in 1963, with several revivals until 1987. A counterpart to The Flintstones, it centered on the titular nuclear family who live in the Space Age: George, Jane, Judy and Elroy Jetson, as well as their robotic maid Rosie and Great Dane Astro.
The characters from the hit sitcom appeared in TV movies, comic books, video games and more, culminating in the 1990 theatrical release of Jetsons: The Movie, featuring the voices of George O'Hanlon and Mel Blanc. A live-action version has not made it to development, whereas The Flintstones became a live-action 1994 flick starring John Goodman, Halle Berry, Elizabeth Taylor and Rosie O'Donnell. A sequel, The Flintstones in Viva Rock Vegas, followed in 2000.
