In 1962 Kennedy’s New Frontier was in full effect – the country was still celebrating John Glenn’s heroics and Disney’s Tomorrowland had proved so popular it tacked on a monorail. Flush with the success of The Flintstones, Hanna-Barbara decided it was high time for The Jetsons, a space age sit-com set in a cartoon Utopia.

Toronto -- Quebec media giant Quebecor Media said it was set to make a play for voting control of restructuring rival Canwest Global Communications Corp., but was blocked from talking to key shareholder Goldman Sachs & Co.
Quebecor Media CEO Pierre Karl Peladeau in a Feb. 19 letter to Canwest Global's court-appointed representative, Fti Consulting, said it was in talks with Rbc Capital Markets about bidding for a controlling stake in its struggling rival.
But Peladeau said the Quebec cable and broadcast group refused to sign a nondisclosure agreement "as it would have precluded Quebecor Media from having discussions notably with Goldman Sachs and related entities which we viewed as a key stakeholder."
The Ontario Superior Court of Justice, now directing Canwest Global's passage through creditor protection, on Friday gave its blessing to rival western Canadian cable operator Shaw Communications acquiring at least 20% of Canwest Global's equity and 80% of its voting stock for about $95 million in cash.
