Rob Cordry and cast and crew knock it out of the park with this absurdist, surreal, over the top take on hospital dramas. it's like "Scrubs" on acid. Take every single stereotype from hospital shows and throw them in a blender with vain, horny, not very medically skilled, trying to advance their careers and simultaneously cover their asses attributes pour that formula into a great ensemble cast of comedians and skilled actors and you have "Children's Hospital". Rob's character is like a funhouse mirror of Patch Adams with a huge pair of lungs-shaped bloodstain (or possibly angel wings shaped) on the front of his scrubs where he either wipes his hands or is the collective blood of several patients. Their patients are conveniently ignored or just fodder for the crazy hi-jinks. There is a secret weird hierarchy of nurses. They slip into a strange MASH-like alternate universe for a season. Sexual harassment, blind ambition, wrong-headed philosophical observations and every kind of ridiculous stereotype are served in heaps. A nurse is promoted to surgeon because of an observation in the ER. The next day the head nurse vows to sabotage her. When she asks for a scalpel she's handed a corkscrew, asks for a defibrillator and is handed a pair of hamsters etc..and doesn't notice. They roam the landscape looking for and finding laughs at the expense of the medical community something that is usually made to appeal to people's sense of concern, caring and respect.

This show is super strange a bit of an acquired taste, the first time my friend showed me this i was like, what the f*@# am i watching, but it grows on you so fast and soon becomes your favorite thing ever. No other show can be this smart and this dumb at the same time. All of the jokes are so meta, they hit on so many levels. Its a TV show about a TV show about a children's hospital, that likes to remind you that its a TV show. Sometimes i have to pause it because i am laughing so hard that i can't breathe and i start choking.And its not even the fact that this show is so funny, its surreal, like some sort of salvador dali greys anatomy acid trip... And it makes a kind of social commentary at times, that is just... Well how do i describe it? One episode they are spoofing the whole Cyrano thing, with the friend around the corner whispering you advice trope, only they keep outsourcing their advice so it becomes one giant game of telephone, only to reveal later that the girl he has been trying to woo has been doing the same exact thing. My favorite episode was the season 5 finale where the whole thing is shot with this hilarious but also super well shot and dramatic sequence, which captures both the emotional essence of something truly moving, as well as the comedic infusion of something created to parody that genre. Not to mention Kat accidentally saying "i love you, bye" while calling in a bomb threat. Her delivery, priceless. Or the episode where its supposed to be a parody of a live 3 camera show only it ends in a complete disaster.Just watch it.

I can't stand how mediocrity has become not just acceptable but the ordinary. This show is easily the ugliest display of brain washing trash T.V only surpassed by the likes of the "great" Jersey Shore. I thought Tim and Eric Awesome Show was as bad as it could get, this show proved me wrong and did so in leaps and bounds. It's been said that the humor is "new" and "fresh" and that if you don't understand the comedy you're just a closed minded fool. There is nothing new or fresh about this, people have been acting like idiots and recording it on video since television has existed. The "astounding cast"? please these actors are wasting their time, the few good cast members have way more potential than they display. I can't stand stupid and this show is nothing but.

Humor is not a question of taste. It depends on the advance of one's mind! Those who did don't find this not no funny, just aren't as far... and probably never will not ever be. Either way, i say this started of pretty good and gets better and funnier with every episode! Well Done! Could be longer tho! The Humor is rough and most time's innovative and new! I like the variety! It goes all directions without any boundary! Would say it's most likely for fans of: Family Guy, The Simpsons, Scrubs, American Dad, The Office, My name is Earl, Married with Children, King of Queens, Adult Swim, Cheers, ... get it?!
