The follow-up to Children's Hospital just dropped on Netflix (Medical Police)
- Thread starter sn00zer
- Start date
Children's Hospital the old CITV children's hospital medical drama in the UK that I haven't thought about for nearly 20 years?
Childrens Hospital is one of my favorite stupid shows at all time. i've been wanting to watch it but GDQ is on!
Did you ever watch Children's Hospital? The show is completely silly but really funny.
if it's anything like Childrens Hospital, which i expect it will be, it is very dumb but very funny and the jokes go by quickly. i would not expect it would be an enjoyable "background" show

Yeah I never watched Children's Hospital. It was just too ridiculous for me. I could see people enjoying it just not for me.
Three episodes in. I'm enjoying it and it really does feel like a new season Childrens Hospital, just The Season Where Lola And Owen Are Medical Police, similar to the one season that took place on a military base. The first episode pretty much immediately establishes it's the same show by throwing a number of returning characters at you, and then having an extended discussion in the car about
The longer episodes are an interesting choice, but I'm enjoying it. Even the missing cast members feels pretty classic, as the show has always had to rotate people in and out to work around actor availability.
There are a couple of things from the series I'm hoping come back that II haven't seen yet--Small ask is just seeing how we got from the final season to here (the events of The Grid and Valerie leaving in general; it's not a HUGE deal, I'm just curious what kind of insanity they could come up with); big ask is seeing the Newsreaders show up to do another special about the cast of Childrens. But I realize both of those are maybe too far to go.
Super curious to see if this actually gets viewed--they did not shy away at all from the normal dumb humor, which I imagine is going to turn a ton of people off very quickly.
how they're ini Sao Paulo. Which is in Brazil, where they are, working at a hospital in Brazil for American ex-pats, as you know.

I let the preview play on Netflix and at first I thought maybe...
Then it went on and on with each joke landing with a deafening thud.

i am a huge fan of your thorough investment in the CH canon. respect.
curious if jim stansel will get a mention
i do
nurse I'm feeling a bit poorly
can I have some lucozade?
I only watched the first episode so far but I liked it. I never finished CH, but I liked that too. The Brazil exposition was the first joke that got me. Then when it was over I realized it was directed by David Wain, my favorite person at this kind of humor and I wasn't surprised.

4 episodes in and Im enjoying this more than Childrens Hospital. I like that they can let jokes sit for almost an entire episode before the punchline. Having an actual plot helps a lot to hang jokes off of. The 25 min and more continuous plot lets jokes breathe a lot more. Really just a ton of fun all around.
I think that scene must have taken hundreds of takes.
Similar to any scene anyone shoots with Jason Mantzoukas
yeah i'm really surprised they didn't work something out to stream them all on Netflix, it would've made a ton of sense.
Watching episode 3, and I swear to god that nurse helping the old man is Carlito. But I can't find anything online about it.
Kind of sad to hear it's silly.
3 of the most popular types of shows is Doctors, Cops, and Lawyers dramas.
So I thought the most highly rated show ever made would be a combo of all 3.
Doctor Lawyer Cop! He/She/They investigate a crime, while saving the life of the victim, and then prosecute the criminal at the end. It will make millions! 12 seasons atleast!

it's silly on purpose. it's from the people who made Wet Hot American Summer, Role Models, The State, etc
At first I thought this was related to Garth Merenghi's Darkplace:
Never saw Children's Hospital, but some of the clips looked funny.

Good lord this is funny. Nothing has scratched that Children's Hospital itch for me since it ended. Almost done the season and really hope we get more.
I think it helps to know that this show was a spinoff of an adult swim show lol
It's silly but I love it!
It's silly but I love it!
Adult Swim had a few comedy series like this: Children's Hospital, Newsreaders, NTSF:SD:SUV::, Eagleheart, Your Pretty Face is Going to Hell, The Heart She Holler, Black Jesus and Delocated.
yeah unfortunately it's not that easy to find streaming. You can get by other means if you really want to though
