History Series / ChildrensHospital

''Childrens Hospital'' is an Creator/AdultSwim program that [[PuttingTheMedicInComedic parodies]] aspects of [[Series/{{House}} various]] [[Series/GreysAnatomy medical]] [[Series/{{ER}} TV]] [[Series/StElsewhere dramas]]. It began as a series of ten webisodes for theWB.com in the summer of 2008. The series was picked up by Adult Swim a year later. The webisodes were packaged together and aired during the summer of 2010, padded out with fake commercials for ''[[SpinOff NTSF:SD:SUV::]]'' and mock interviews with creator Rob Corddry. New episodes aired that August, with a third season airing Summer of 2011. A fourth season was picked up soon after that.

* ActorAllusion: Sy (Henry Winkler) stuttered when he had to admit he was [[HappyDays "w-w-w-wrong"]] to Blake in "Sy's Tenure".

''Childrens Hospital'' centers around the arrogant, slutty, and incompetent doctors working at a children's hospital in Brazil called Childrens Hospital (not the lack of an apostrophe). Using a broad range of fast-paced humor, the show is gaining a lot of good publicity.

* AndIMustScream: In "DOY", Cat and Glen inject Blake with a heavy dosed paralytic in order to prevent him from attending the Doctor Of the Year awards(
which he always wins) and leaves him in his hotel bed only able to move his eyes and fingers. Unfortunately, the bed next to him is soon occupied by Owen, who is having sex [[spoiler: with his own mother.]]

-->'''Blake:''' I once cured a case of Lou Gherig by pretending to be trapped inside a box.

* AffectionateParody: ''Series/GreysAnatomy'', ''Series/{{Scrubs}}'', ''Series/{{ER}}'', ''StElsewhere'', and more.

* MatzoFever: Lampshaded

* ReTool: One of the rare retoolings that promises to have little-to-no effect on the show itself: the doctors move from Childrens Hospital in Brazil to a children's clinic on a US military base in Japan, while the hospital is gassed for termites. Given the show's anarchic nature, and the fact that the show's setting was nothing but a running joke, this changes almost nothing.
* ShotaCon: [[spoiler:Dr. Cat Black has sex with a six year old]], but it's okay; he's got an accelerated aging disorder.

** In the episode ''Childrens Hospital: A Play in Three Acts'', Owen drinks a [[Franchise/TheHitchhikersGuidetotheGalaxy Pan Galactic]] GargleBlaster.

* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: Valerie Flame for Cat Black. This was [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]], with Cat Black being regarded as irreplaceable, followed immediately by Valerie Flame walking in and announcing herself as Cat Black's replacement.

* UnsettlingGenderReveal: With [[spoiler:Valerie]] turning out to be [[spoiler:Derrick Childrens, played by JonHamm.]]

''[[ColonCancer National Terrorism Strike Force:San Diego:Sports Utility Vehicle::]]'' [[{{Defictionalization}} has been greenlit]], and began airing in the Summer of 2011. Another spinoff, Newsreaders, was picked up in 2011, as was a [[BigDamnMovie movie]] that admittedly has nothing to do with the plot of the show, but still contains all the same actors.

* TheDanza: Ed Helms as Dr. Ed Helms, forming half of ThoseTwoGuys.

* NetworkToTheRescue: Creator/AdultSwim liked the show so much they financed and aired seasons 2+. It's now one of their top rated programs.

** The fourth season included a parody of WernerHerzog's ''My Best Fiend'', including heavy lampshading of Herzog's love of [[LeaveTheCameraRunning continuing to record past the intuitive end of scenes.]]

* AscendedExtra: Dr Brian, who's been in almost every episode of Season 3. He appeared briefly in a clip from the in-universe 70's incarnation of the show in Season 2.
* BiTheWay: Cat and Lolla dated for all of one episode.

* CelebrityParadox: In the 70's episode, during the montage of blatant references to the time period, Blake emulates the "'eeeeeey!" of The Fonz on ''Series/HappyDays''. Henry Winkler, a recurring cast member on ''Childrens Hospital'', played The Fonz.

* DeathIsCheap: Both Cat and Lola have been said to have died (one was faking, the other [[HandWave never really got explained]]). Both were back by the end of the season.

* InformedJudaism / InformedAbility: Averted with Dr. Richie- the guy wears a yarmulke at all times, it's regularly brought up that he's Jewish and he'll occasionally mention the Sabbath or other Jewish customs.

* NetworkToTheRescue: Creator/AdultSwim liked the show so much they financed and aired seasons 2-3 (and counting). It's now one of their top rated programs.

* ShotaCon: [[spoiler:Dr.Cat Black has sex with a six year old]], but it's okay; he's got an accelerated aging disorder.

* ThoseTwoGuys: Dr. Ed Helms, and Jason Mantzoukas. Though they only appeared in the first season. Ed Helms is a Danza, while Jason Mantzoukas does appear on the show, but does not play Jason Mantzoukas.
* UnsettlingGenderReveal: With [[spoiler:Valerie]] turning out to be [[spoiler:Derrick Childrens, played by Jon Hamm.]]

** GreysAnatomy has been parodied to the extent that WordOfGod says they have to be careful not to directly copy plots from the show.

* DroppedABridgetOnHim: With [[spoiler:Valerie]] turning out to be [[spoiler:Derrick Childrens, played by Jon Hamm.]]

* AffectionateParody: ''Series/GreysAnatomy'', ''Series/{{Scrubs}}'', ''Series/{{ER}}, ''StElsewhere'', and more.
