Random 1 is a documentary-style reality television series that aired from November 2005 to January 2006 on the A&E cable network.
However, unlike other such "do-gooder" shows, Chester and Miller employ an all-shapes-and-sizes approach, with assignments ranging from a new cell phone to a week in rehab to a new prosthetic leg.
The crew abides by a set of rules: the person being helped must be a stranger, the mission must be completed in one day, and no money may be spent (as Chester explains in Episode 4, "Out Of The Woods", this is because money distances a philanthropist from the person they are trying to help.
In order to free up John and Andre to get to know the subject of a given episode, they are aided by three producers in an internet-ready mobile RV.
Capella Fahoome, Jim Lefter, and Molly Schrek, once a subject has been decided on, go to their laptops and cell phones, searching for local businesses or individuals willing to help.
