Production notes

The anthropomorphic citrus moves from the kitchen to a fruit-vending cart for his television series.

Originally to be a six-episode series, the show was given nine more episodes for a 15-show first season.

Based on the most-watched Web series in YouTube history, with over 1 billion views.

Developed and produced by leading entertainment management and production company The Collective, Dane Boedigheimer (the creator of the Annoying Orange Web series) co-created the television series with Tom Sheppard. Conrad Vernon serves as executive producer, along with Gary Binkow and Dan Weinstein of The Collective.

Annoying Orange is the Web sensation transformed into a new television series that follows Orange and his buddies as they go on a wide range of adventures -- setting out from the fruit stand to parts unknown and everything in between. With jaunts to the Prehistoric Era and even Colonial times, Orange and the rest of the fruit stand gang are dropped into outrageous adventures and challenged to squeeze their way out of them. Joining Orange on his escapades are popular produce pals from the Web series, including the level-headed Pear, potential paramour Passion Fruit, resident goody-goody Apple, the always upbeat Marshmallow, and Orange's nemesis, the hulking Grapefruit. The only human to interact with this veritable fruit salad is a brand-new character, Nerville (played by YouTube sensation Toby Turner), the proprietor of a fruit cart where Orange and his crew "reside." Annoying Orange features guest voices by Michael Clarke Duncan, Jeffrey Tambor, Tim Curry, Tony Hawk, Malcolm McDowell, Billy Dee Williams, Leah Remini, Tom Kenny, John DiMaggio, Nick Swordson, Danny Trejo and Felicia Day.
