'''''Red Band Society''''' is an American comedy-drama television series on FOX developed by Margaret Nagle. The series premiered on September 17, 2014, put on hiatus after the tenth episode on December 3, 2014, and effectively ended on February 7, 2015.

* AmicableExes: Emma and Leo, once you get past all the snark. Subverted by the fifth episode as they're apparently back together.

* OneOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers: Emma's sickness is mental while all of the others have physical ailments.

** "The Guilted Age". It says a lot when Dash seems to be the only Red-Bander who ends the episode relatively unscathed. [[spoiler:Emma is hospitalized again, with her anorexia having made her physically sick now. Jordi's emancipation appeal is denied, after which he confesses to Nurse Jackson about dealing drugs to expedite his request. Hunter's body rejects the liver that was transplanted to him, and he dies on Dr. [=McAndrew=]'s table -- leaving his heart to Kara, who doesn't feel like she deserves it after having slept with Leo. Worst of all, Leo's cancer returns, this time for good; and he and his parents learn this just as he was about to be discharged]].
