MST3K Zappa References

Based on my long-held theory that there is, on the AVERAGE, at least one Frank Zappa reference per episode, I

have begun tracking the occurances as I run across them. Time listed is based upon the 2hr broadcast format,

including commercials. This list is probably not complete and if you have any items you wish to add to this list, or

have any questions regarding specific references, please write me at cheepnis AT cheepnis D0T com or visit

http://www.cheepnis.com Enjoy!



A big Thank You goes to the following contributers: Michael Shannon, Andrew Smith, Ian Miller, Chad, Clay

Urquhart, Robert Isaacson - Additional material mined from the excellent list compiled by Bob Eichler, referred to

me by Rich Kegarise. Thanks Rich and Bob!
