jimel98 There are 17 (hopefully this will make 18) reviews of this show and only FIVE are negative, and they sure are negative. This one is NOT.Here you have a show that is sarcastic, snide, tongue in cheek and hilariously twisted. The premise, a Children's Hospital staff that are this self absorbed that the patient care is questionable at best would make one cringe. The one thing that truly affects human sentimentality and can bring about amazing sympathy (well, from CIVILIZED people) is children in distress, be it sickness, injury, horrible circumstances surrounding their young lives, etc. Civilized people feel that tug at the heartstrings when a child is at risk.Every kid who checks into this hospital is at risk, but thank God, it's NOT REAL. This show is done with SUCH disregard for emotional distress, it's like reverse psychology. We know what is happening is terrible, but it's done so well, it's amazingly funny. Thankfully, patient care IS not a focal point of the show so we do manage to hang onto the reality of...heck, lets just say badness. No, this show only has patient care on the edges so there's not too much. Even too much of a good thing can be bad.This show focuses on the nurses, doctors, administrators and staff as well as surrounding characters and their flawed existence, and flawed it is.The one character I will address simply because he's used on the advertising picture is Dr. Blake Downs played by one of the show's creators, Rob Corddry. He's a GLARINGLY obvious parody of Patch Adams. I avoid real medical dramas so I'm sure there are other obvious parodies, but I'm not seeing them. I don't have to, I just tune in, tune out and laugh.

bkbirge This show is all kinds of great. I just caught the first 2 seasons on Netflix and if they continued on in that vein then it's a classic for sure. You have to be a fan of deadpan absurdity to enjoy this but if that's your cup of tea you are in for a treat. Highly recommended, the "live" episode in season 2 has got to be one of the best.This is raunchy without showing any skin and the jokes are all very much for adults. Make sure the kiddies are in bed when watching. The writing doesn't hit on all cylinders all the time but when it does it's comedy gold.If you are a fan of skit based wackiness then you will like this.

actiondallas Children's Hospital is great fun, especially for those of us with short attention spans. The jokes come and go faster than you can laugh at them. Don't expect the next Sopranos, but be ready for something you haven't seen anything like. It is only ten to twelve minute episodes so how could you not give it a shot. It's satirical humor shot on the set of scrubs is of the best medical spoof comedy I have ever seen! All episodes can be found online, youtube for example, and is also now on demand. If you are into anything on Adult Swim definitely check out Children's Hospital it is one of the best shows they have put out thus far.....

cieran84 I really hate when old people post about comedy shows that they just don't get (like Nimue1016). It's clear from that post Nimue already hates Adult Swim shows, which begs the question of why they are even watching Adult Swim to begin with. The fact that he/she refers to Rob Corddry as "the director" highlights the fact that they're clueless about the subject with which they are writing. I'm guessing he/she also hates Aqua Teen Hunger Force, The Brak Show, Robot Chicken, etc. However, if you're under 30 and like a good comedy, this show is pretty damned funny. Rob Corddry is great as the clown doctor, and the rest of the cast is dynamite too. There's a great style to it with the "previously on..." way of showing new elements of the story as if it had already been included in past episodes. I especially love the "previously on" at the start of Episode 4, where Dr. Cat Black breaks up with tons of doctors, including some multiple times, and once while giving the doctor a hand-job. Lots of great sexual humor in this show, mocking shows like Grey's Anatomy. Definitely worth checking out if you have a funny bone in your body (which, apparently, Nimue1016 does not).
