Synopsis
Childrens Hospital (with no apostrophe because the hospital is named after Dr. Arthur Childrens) is a product of TheWB.com. Its webisodes are about 4–5 minutes long, each narrated by mainly Dr. Cat Black in Season 1, and by Dr Valerie Flame in Season 2, each one a female doctor. The show mocks such hospital dramas as House, Scrubs, Grey's Anatomy, Private Practice, Chicago Hope, and ER with such scenes as doctors making out in front of underage patients and a crippled female doctor forced to walk around on two crutches.
