Moon, Kyle Richard and Lala Sloatman appeared in a failed pilot for a show ("Bunny Bunny Bunny") that FZ described in "Video From Hell" as "an Ionesco sort of post-punk sitcom".

Notes
In the film "Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me" (1999) the character Dr Evil says: "The moon unit will be divided into two divisions: Moon Unit Alpha and Moon Unit Zappa."
"UNIT" is one of the stars in the "One Size Fits All" (1975) "universe".
Mentioned in My Brother Is an Italian Mother (Jazz & Pop, 1968, C. R. Zappa), "performing body functions in time with the music".
