Method & Red, sometimes written Meth and Red, is a television program that first aired on Fox Broadcasting Company on June 16, 2004. It starred hip hop recording artists Method Man & Redman, portraying fictionalized versions of themselves who move to a predominately white upper-class suburb in New Jersey.

FOX cancelled the show in September 2004 with 4 of the 13 produced episodes remaining unaired after heated meetings with Method Man & Redman, who were not pleased with the show. The duo publicly bashed FOX several times after this.

Method Man was disappointed about the series for having a laugh track and FOX doing a bad job on editing. He had wanted it to be in the vein of Arrested Development, of which he is a fan.
