Behind the scenes

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

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.
