Rosie[19] (voiced by Jean Vander Pyl in the TV series, Grey DeLisle in an AT&T commercial,[20] Tress MacNeille in The Jetsons & WWE: Robo-WrestleMania!, 2008-present)[21] is the Jetson family's robotic maid and housekeeper. Rosie is depicted as wearing a frilly apron, and was often seen using a separate vacuum cleaner. Her torso is mounted atop a single leg and she rolls about on a set of caster wheels. She frequently calls George Jetson "Mr. J". In seasons 1 and 3 her name is spelled as Rosey on the episode title cards.
Rosie was an old demonstrator model hired by the Jetson family from U-Rent a Maid. The series' first episode, "Rosey the Robot", gives her model number as XB-500. She was in fact outdated when introduced, and her obsolescence was the focus of several episodes focused on her. In the episode "Rosie's Boyfriend," we learn she has a boyfriend, the robot Mac, a helper for Henry Orbit. Rosie clearly cares a great deal for Mac, but is obviously the more intelligent between them, often chiding him for his childish behavior.
She was spoofed in the Futurama movie Bender's Game, with a robot that looked like her saying "Everything must be clean. Very clean. That's why the dog had to die. He was a dirty dog. Also that boy Elroy. Dirty. Dirty."[22] She was voiced by Tress MacNeille in this parody.
In 2017, a Jetsons comic was published by DC Comics. In it, Rosie is re-imagined as George's mother who was placed in a robotic body by Nexlyfe.[23][24] She only informed Judy that she was going through with the procedure prior to it.
