Red Band Society Premieres on FOX on September 17, 2014
From Steven Spielberg's Amblin Television and starring Academy Award-winning actress Octavia Spencer (“The Help,” “Fruitvale Station”), Dave Annable (“Brothers & Sisters,” “666 Park Avenue”) and a charismatic cast of fresh faces, RED BAND SOCIETY is a provocative, unconventional and unique coming-of-age dramedy about a group of rule-bending friends and the adults who mentor them through the ups and downs of adolescence in Los Angeles' Ocean Park Hospital. Exploring everything from strong friendships, and first loves, to humorous mishaps and heartbreaks, the series is a story of life, with an edgy comedic tone all its own.
Twelve-year-old narrator CHARLIE (Griffin Gluck, “Back in the Game,” “ Private Practice”) is in a coma and introduces us to this band of unlikely friends, including the “new kid,” JORDI PALACIOS (Nolan Sotillo, “ Prom”), a 16-year-old who comes to California to seek out treatment at the renowned hospital. What Jordi soon discovers is that it's not his illness that's going to change his life, but his new friends. Also at Ocean Park is LEO ROTH (Charlie Rowe, “Neverland,” “ Pirate Radio”), the 16-year-old, charming and independent “leader” of the group. Leo's best friend is DASH HOSNEY (Astro, “The X Factor”), a 16-year-old “rebel” with a big personality, who is determined not to let his cystic fibrosis stop him from living his life. Also on the ward is 15-year-old “know-it-all” EMMA CHOTA (Ciara Bravo, “Big Time Rush”), Leo's on-again-off-again girlfriend who is coping with an eating disorder. Rounding out this group of patients is KARA SOUDERS (Zoe Levin, “Arrested Development,” “The Way Way Back”), a “mean girl” cheerleader who shares a room with Charlie. Although her heart is failing, she is realizing for the first time that she actually has one and begins opening it up to her new friends.
The pediatric ward is run by NURSE JACKSON (Spencer), a caregiver with a take-no-prisoners approach to helping these teens get the most from their lives. Little do they know that she puts her own life second, and her stern manner hides her incredible heart that secretly makes their lives more ordinary. Overseeing much of their treatment is DR. JACK McANDREW (Annable), the country's top pediatric surgeon. Also attending to the patients is the naïve and gullible Nurse BRITTANY DOBLER (newcomer Rebecca Rittenhouse), who allows the teens to get away with things they probably shouldn't. These mentors' lives are more complicated than they seem. They are the guiding force for these teens, but in their own personal lives, things might not be so easy.
These teens form a life-changing bond and singular kinship, represented by their red hospital bands. They face shared experiences, both uplifting and challenging, tragic and comedic, ordinary and out-of-the-ordinary – and they do it together. When you're brought to the brink, that's when you laugh the loudest, love the strongest and cry the hardest…This is the story of the RED BAND SOCIETY.
I was really looking forward to this show and this pilot was so great it was nice to see a well made teen hospital drama without typical cliché and i really like it i just don't know how they can keep storyline focused on character i would hate for this turn into teen soap that is my concern.
We are introduced to a bunch teenagers who all need to stay in hospital for various condition and we learn about each of them very briefly i hope they will focus on one character per episode would make this series much better.
I really enjoyed the pilot Author: codebreaker Time: 9-5-2014 10:42 Subject: 1x01 Pilot
Taking photos of the collapsed cheerleader rather than help was amusing and the girl being exited about the kiss of life was great, the short introduction to the characters was nice but Kara pushing Charlie's buzzer was disturbing but Charlie getting his own back by farting was priceless Author: bala Time: 9-24-2014 08:20 Subject: clips from Sole searching
The way Emma put on weight before getting on the scales was sneaky and Jordi making sure they didn't take the wrong leg off was amusing as he didn't loose it after all but you just knew there would be bad news about his cancer Author: bala Time: 9-26-2014 13:11 Subject: Reply 8#8 codebreaker's post
That nurse was very naive not to check her before weigh her but Emma speaking to mothers was great Author: codebreaker Time: 10-2-2014 21:57

Finding out Jordi mother was alive was good but her being the one night stand for the doctor was amusing but than finding out he has cancer was sad since she thought he only had broken leg. Author: bala Time: 10-16-2014 08:47 Subject: 1x04 There's No Place Like Homecoming
That was nice them being able to go to homecoming but you just knew they would be drama Author: bala Time: 10-16-2014 08:49 Subject: 1x05 So Tell Me What You Want What You Really Really Want
This was ok episode what a way to get remember doing that art piece on war which can be seen from hospital rooftop. Author: bala Time: 11-6-2014 09:34 Subject: 1x06 Ergo Ego
I am still waiting for Charlie wake up from his coma but i have feeling he won't and Kara going temporary blind and getting peacemaker was scary Author: bala Time: 11-13-2014 11:26 Subject: 1x07 Know Thyself
After nurse Jackson getting suspended we saw what happens with kids going unsupervised and we learn about her life outside hospital and what made her become a nurse . Author: bala Time: 11-28-2014 12:57 Subject: How Did We Get Here?
Finding out how all different character got into their own situation was amusing but bad news look like this show might get canned as this was last episode that going to air Author: bala Time: 12-7-2014 10:51 Subject: What I Did For Love
We are not sure if this show is canned but this was last episode and it really ended on a strange note but who cares Author: bala Time: 2-1-2015 12:38 Subject: 1x11 The Guilted Age
look like it wasn't the last episode but it was still quite sad episode so many sad things happen but i can't believe they didn't renew it because most many show can get to me so when a show can actually affect the way to feel after watching it it's special i have feeling they won't end this show on a happy note but next week final episodes .
I am really going to miss this show Author: bala Time: 2-10-2015 10:48 Subject: 1x12 We'll Always Have Paris
This was another great episode and her accepting the heart was nice but going paris in her dreams was nice Author: bala Time: 2-10-2015 10:49 Subject: 1x13 Waiting for Superman
This was another emotionally episode so glad Charlie can finally talk and Emma being honest about how her eating disorder started was sad .
