Bands on the Run (Season 1, episode 1; aired April 2, 2001)
One of EW's 20 Best Reality Shows of all time. Three unknown bands (including the pictured Flickerstick) are given vans and sent from L.A. to San Francisco to play in three separate venues on the same night to see who could make the most money. We had no idea what we were doing or what we were getting into. One band member found out his father had died. He chose to stay with the band and play their show, which showed how powerful their bond was. Across the series we had fights, hookups, infidelity, heavy drinking, and ridiculous challenges. Has any other reality show ever done a beer-drinking race as a challenge?
