children’s hospital: a hilarious series apparently everyone missed
i recently came across children’s hospital, a 2008 WB series written by, directed by and starring rob corddry of the daily show, arrested development and harold and kumar II fame. the episodes are short at five or so minutes each, but each one contains many great moments that parody shows like grey’s anatomy, ER, chicago hope, etc. i love corddry’s work and these ten episodes are infused with his particular style of humor: a parody of people who are overdramatic, underinformed and typically in positions of authority.
i found this through jesse thorn’s the sound of young america, which i’ve been podcasting lately. it’s been around for a few years, and thorn is a likeable interviewer. he finds great guests, some i’ve heard of and others not, and he’s got an extensive backlog of interviews that are still relevant and worth listening to.
