Childrens Hospital

Childrens Hospital is a comedy series that began as a web show on TheWB.com and now airs on Adult Swim. This is the web show season that led to the Adult Swim hit. The show centers around the lives of a group of hospital workers in Childrens Hospital, a hospital for kids named after a Dr. Childrens. The series was created by Rob Corddry, who also stars as Dr. Blake Downs, a doctor who believes that laughter heals better than medicine and often wears clown makeup around the hospital. His staff includes Dr. Cat Black (Lake Bell), Dr. Glenn Ritchie (Ken Marino), Dr. Owen Maestro (Rob Huebel), The Chief (Megan Mullally), who walks around on two crutches, Dr. Lola Spratt (Erin Hayes), and Dr. Valerie Flame (Malin Akerman). Henry Winkler also stars as Sy Mittleman. Recurring guest stars include Michael Cera and Ed Helms. The doctors of Childrens Hospital often seem to care more about making out with each other than helping the sick children under their care, and most of the episodes focus on their zany antics than the diseases they are trying to cure. Childrens Hospital is a parody of popular medical dramas, such as ER, Grey's Anatomy, and Private Practice. The show originally aired as a web original on TheWB.com, but was picked up by Adult Swim in 2009.
