Relationships between jet physics and the evolutionary phases of radio galaxies are discussed. This includes the connection between the properties of relativistic jets and the Fanaroff-Riley classes of radio galaxies and the interaction of jets with the interstellar medium in Gigahertz Peak Spectrum and Compact Steep Spectrum Radio Sources. Jets in Seyfert galaxies are compared with those in classical radio galaxies and recent work suggesting that there are major differences between the two types of jets is summarized. The proposed major differences are principally that Seyfert jets are thermally dominated with subrelativistic speeds whereas Radio Galaxy jets are relativistic electron/positron flows. Hence, the production of jets in Seyferts and radio galaxies are fundamentally different.
