Maybe the Jetsons and the Flintstones take place at the same time.

how is the Jetsons supposed to be dystopian?

The majority on the surface probably died in the wars and climate change while the rich ascended above and survived. It only looks utopian because we see what they wanted us to see.

Isn't there a city builder with this premise?

The Powerpuff Girls predicted three super powered little girls that saved the world.

Notice how none of that happened.

Hell, let's go nuts with it.

All the old Hannah Barbera cartoons exist in the same universe. Characters like Magilla Gorilla, Snagglepuss, Top Cat, Hong Kong Phooey, etc. are animals that were affected by radiation. There are various different settlements and civilizations left on Earth, but they vary in culture and technology.

Wasn't there talk of Warner Bros. wanting to start a Hannah-Babera Cinematic Universe

We challenge the accuracy of the jetsons at predicting the future but not the accuracy of the flintstones which should have already happened?

I'm recalling the old Harvey Birdman episode (and I realize I'm calling a parody of an even older cartoon "old") where the Jetsons show up and say they're from the "far off future of 2002" and Harvey glances at a desk calendar that says "2004".
