With hindsight, do you think Red Band Society would have been a better fit for cable?
Amblin TV President Darryl Frank: There’s a definite barrier to entry with the concept [set in a hospital’s pediatric ward], but we felt if we could get past that, it could be this big, broad-appeal show. And Fox was always clear to us that they were going to be patient with us, and they have been. It’s the only show that I do that my teenage daughter thinks is cool, so it better stay on. (Laughs.)

Curtis says
I hope Red Band Society continues for many more seasons. I think the deep messages the show presents are very thought provoking. I hear lots of teens talking about it. I enjoyed the last show with the story line about Emma’s eating disorder. These are hit home subjects for all of us. I think FOX hit it out of the park with this show.
