Childrens Hospital is based on the Webby Award-winning digital series that debuted on TheWB.com in 2008 and quickly became a Web hit with its twisted take on network medical dramas like Grey’s Anatomy and House. The complete Childrens Hospital – including both the newly produced episodes as well as the original Webisodes – is on Adult Swim now. Childrens Hospital explores the emotional struggles and sexual politics of a group of doctors charged with healthy libidos.
