Synopsis

When Crystal opens a Psychic Wellness Centre next to Willy's school, Willy is in for some ribbing from classmates wanting to tease him over his flakey Mom. But Willy is surprised when his old nemesis- Buzz- leaps to his defence. Buzz tells Willy he's turned over a new leaf, and wants to be pals. Quincy and Alissa aren't convinced, and try to warn Willy. But Willy's generous nature leads him to forgive Buzz and accept his friendship.

Buzz wangles a dinner invite to the Zillas, then mysteriously heads home halfway through dinner. Willy wonders what happened until the next day, when Willy discovers that Buzz used the friendship and dinner invite as a way of getting into Rock's home studio to download a pre-release copy of Rock's new CD, which he has sold to music bootleggers.

But with help from Alissa, Quincy and Skunk, Willy pulls the old switcheroo on the bootleggers- sneaking into their place, and switching the CD they're about to copy with a CD of boring New Age sounds from Crystal's Psychic Wellness Centre.

Production notes

The concept for this show was developed by Gene Simmons of KISS. Based on Simmons' book "My Dad the Rockstar: Rebel Without a Nose Ring."

Initially, this series was to be about the band KISS itself, but it changed into the story of the Zilla family.

Twenty-six episodes are planned.
