Every year brings another entry
in the "Call of Duty" franchise.
We reviewed the newest game,
"Call of Duty: World at War" in
this week's issue of Caliente.

The games, which are most often
set during World War II, let
players revisit history.

The newest installment focuses
on the final battles of World War
II in the Pacific and Eastern
Europe.

In addition to testing your own
skill, the "Call of Duty" games are
also social endeavors. Players
from around the world can come
together as teams to take on all
comers.

Even though the new "Call of
Duty" is a solid effort, it doesn't
live up to last year's edition,
which updated the setting. What
was the title of the 2007 "Call of
Duty" game?

Those who answer correctly will
have a chance to win a kids DVD.
Titles include "Avatar," "Ben 10,"
"Bratz" and "SpongeBob
Squarepants."

'Scrubs' -- Best musical episode in TV history

Did you do what I told you to do last night? Did you record Liev Schreiber’s debut on “CSI” and watch the “Scrubs” musical? (This song might be NSFW)

What fun to hear the actors sing beautifully (though I suspect Neil Flynn, the janitor, had his voiced dubbed a la Natalie Wood in “West Side Story”).

The songs were co-written by the hilarious team of Robert Lopez and Jeff Marx, who created some great stuff in the irreverent Broadway musical “Avenue Q” and won a Tony for it. If you’ve seen the show or at least heard the music, the stuff on “Scrubs” will sound familiar. It’s no coincidence, then, that the lady who kept hearing the doctors singing was played by Stephanie D’Abruzzo, one of the original stars on “Avenue Q.”

Some of the songs sung Thursday were for comedy’s sake (Everything Comes Down to Poo, For the Last Time I’m Dominican) but others had some heart (Friends Forever/What’s Going to Happen).

For those who hate musicals but love the show and decided to stay away, I feel for you. For those who love musicals but hate the show, I feel even worse. The episode mocked all musical theater conventions, from the ensemble opening number to the riff on “Les Miserables” and “Grease,” this show did everything right. Maybe they’ll show it in reruns this summer. You can only hope.

“Scrubs” airs at 8 Thursdays on NBC.

  1. Amazing episode. My 16-yr-old son told me there was NO WAY he was going to sit with me and watch a musical. He watched the opening number and was hooked. We both loved it—catchy music, clever lyrics. Bravo! Scrubs is the most under-appreciated comedy on television—it’s consistently smart, well-acted and imaginative (just watch this episode or “My Life in Four Cameras” from 2? years ago). Can somebody please give this show (and its wonderful cast) an Emmy—Stat!!
