Behind the scenes

 * Most of Orbitty's time in this episode is to simply be reprimanded by George.

Errors

 * Spacely calls Pleasure Planet the "Pleasure Carnival," which may just be another name for it, but nobody else calls it that. He could be referring to the carnival, itself, though.
 * The moon fleas say they're going to stay forever, which they don't.
