The sixteenth TV show: #801 Childrens Hospital
Oh, I'm going to miss this show.
Childrens Hospital originally started as five minute long shorts created during the 2008 writer's strike, then was picked up on Adult Swim as fifteen minute shorts. It started off as a hospital show parody, set in a children's hospital (founded by Arthur Children, located in Brazil... it's a long story). It has evolved into a show that is set in a hospital, but can tell any sort of story with it - spoofs of movies, takes on genres and just following weird ideas. Not only do we see Childrens Hospital, but also the supposed behind the scenes aspects invovled in creating it (which is distinct from the actual actors).
It all works brilliantly - there's some lesser moments, but the shows are always packed with jokes and references and seems willing to try everything. I struggle to find a favourite, especially once (in the second season) they really find their feet and go beyond Grey's Anatomy's spoofs. There's just too much.
I'll miss it (and will need to rewatch it).
