Medical Police isn't as great as the early seasons of Childrens Hospital, few things are, but it's better than the latter seasons. The plot is better than some of the shows it's making fun of and the twists are nowhere near as stupid as those kinds of shows can do while some of the action is legitimately better. I think the worst part is they actually did some location shooting rather than blatantly shooting in Los Angeles while claiming it's somewhere else in the world. Also I despise that Fred Melamed is playing yet another professor of Lola Spratt's but they didn't even mention it when the original show was so good about going out of its way to call attention to this type of thing and "explain" it with something stupid. They ignore that but still have Malin Akerman and Jon Hamm playing the same character as if anybody new to the franchise will understand this.
