'Childrens Hospital'

Despite its wholesome sounding title, this weekly 15-minute blast of wacky comedy is definitely not for children. Each week the titular hospital's staff (including Rob Corddry, Megan Mullally, Ken Marino and Henry Winkler) cope with ridiculous situations — to hilarious results. It's just the antidote if you're up late and don't know what to watch. Midnight Thursday (part of Adult Swim programming) on the Cartoon Network (seattletimes.com/tvlistings).
