''Coconut Fred's Fruit Salad Island'' is an animated comedy series that ran on Kids’ WB! from 2005 to 2006. The series takes place on an island inhabited by fruit where various wacky situations ensue, the main characters being Fred a happy-go-lucky coconut, Slip and Slide 2 twin banana brothers, Bingo a timid cherry, Mr. Mel Greenrind a watermelon who tries to establish order on the island, Wedgie a lemon who's a stranded sailor and Bunga Berry a feral strawberry who's also mute. The series was criticized due to its obnoxious over-the-top humor and being too similar to Nickelodeon's ''SpongeBob SquarePants''. | ''Coconut Fred's Fruit Salad Island'' is an animated comedy series that ran on Kids’ WB! from 2005 to 2006.
