Appearances in Fan Series[]
Harold & Friends![]
The series was supposed to last for two seasons with the premise of the show revolving around Harold, Fred, Tom, and the wacky situations they found themselves in. Nat and Frank would also appear often as the main trio's best friends. In the pilot, Harold would move into an apartment with Fred and Tom. At first, Tom and Fred would not like Harold but they would grow to like him at the end due to the fact that they all love surfing. Some other episode plots include: Harold becoming friends with Scooter despite not liking him at first, Fred lying about getting an important job, Tom trying to sabotage Nat because he is jealous of Nat's surfing talent, and Harold getting a crush on Nancy Suzy Fish without knowing that she is already dating Frank. The series was set to end in a one hour special where Fred would get captured by a tribe of fish living near the coast of Africa and escape. Ultimately, however, the series was quickly cancelled before a single episode was produced.
