The pitch pilot is the aforementioned pilot episode of Coconut Fred's Fruit Salad Island!. It is a low-quality, test version of the show with a similar premise to that of the first episode's second segment, "Master of Disaster".

This pilot was never aired on television, but was instead shown off on the 2005 Kids WB "Crash the Backlot" Tour as one of the many episodes you could re-record with your own voice.

On September 2022, some snippets and dialogue from the pilot were rediscovered from the show's upfront promo. as of July 2024, the full pilot has yet to resurface.

Trivia

General

• This episode is currently considered as partially lost media, as the full pilot cannot be viewed anywhere.
• Prior to the upfront promo resurfacing, there were distorted clips of it scattered around YTP's by YouTube user 1downpoison, those being "Grounder lost his pen*s" and "Butchy is Sexually Frustrated".
• Judging from a copyright record found about the show, the pilot might've been produced in November 12th 2002.
• There is an article about the pitch pilot in the Lost Media Archive Wiki which can be found here.
• Johnny Test, a show that aired alongside Coconut Fred's Fruit Salad Island, also had it's pilot once viewable on Kids' WB Crash the Backlot! Tour.
  • Both pilots have similarities, as:
    • The pilots were directed by Matt Danner.
    • The pilots are lost media.
    • And both pilots has an upfront promo.

Differences

• The episode features a more simplified design for the show, as this was before Character Designers Chris Battle and Miss Mindy Allen were brought to work on the show.
• The episode contains multiple scenes which are absent in it's reworked version.
• According to a Q&A with director Matt Danner, Mr. Greenrind, Slip and Slide D'Peel had different voice actors in the pilot, those being Charlie Adler and Harland Williams respectively.
  • This most likely means that the pilot had an all American voice cast, opposed to the Canadian voice cast in the full show.
• Bunga Berry is presumably absent from the pilot, despite being a main character in the series. This might've been due to him not being ready to be in the pilot yet or wasn't conceptualized yet.
• In the scene where Fred gets lava on his head, the line "FRED!" is said by everyone, and "There's hot lava on your head!" was said by either Slip or Slide D'Peel instead of Bingo Cherry.
