Rob Paulsen, who voiced the main character Fred, said that he regretted working on the show, calling it his least favorite show that he worked on, and thinking it was a cheap SpongeBob SquarePants (1999) knockoff.
This show along with Johnny Test (2005) were the last two independent animated series made by Warner Bros. to not be a Scooby-Doo or DC Comics show until Mike Tyson Mysteries (2014) in 2014, Bunnicula (2016) and Right Now Kapow (2016) in 2016.
Even though Coconut Fred's Fruit Salad Island! (2005) was one of Rob Paulsen's least favorite cartoon roles, the BL Tomato from this show was one of Ashleigh Ball's most favorite cartoon roles as revealed by her in A Brony Tale (2014).
Go Go Moba Boy! (a pilot made by Matt Danner) was scrapped in favor of this series.
