It’s been a while since we’ve recapped ‘Grimm’ here in the blog. Although I still like the show, I haven’t been keeping up with it in a timely fashion. I finally caught up this weekend, so let’s take a look at the most recent episode.

After what seems like months on end of repeating commercial after commercial after commercial for the show during all of its programming, NBC finally premiered the new musical drama series ‘Smash’ this Monday. Surprisingly, the ads somehow didn’t give away all the best parts of the episode. Even more surprisingly, the show is actually kind of good.

The five-year odyssey of ‘Chuck’ ended its run this past Friday with a two-part series finale that, if perhaps not an artistic pinnacle for the show, at the very least brought things together with a satisfying note of closure.

As some of my recent complaining probably makes clear, ‘Chuck’ doesn’t always come together as well as it should. However, when it does, it’s one of the most purely entertaining shows on TV. This past Friday gave us the penultimate episode before the series finale, and fortunately it was a really good one.

While ‘Chuck’ is certainly no stranger to being meta, the show turned almost bizarrely so this past Friday with a guest appearance from former ‘10‘ star and 1970s poster pin-up girl Bo Derek… playing herself… as a spy. The strangest part of all this: We’re supposed to believe that Bo Derek is still a sex symbol that anyone in the audience would care about or be impressed by.

As threatened, High-Def Digest‘s 2nd Annual Golden Globes Live-Blog commences this Sunday evening, January 15th. The ceremony begins at 8 PM EST on NBC. We’ll start blogging with the pre-show special at 7 PM. There will be many contests for free Blu-ray goodies. Don’t miss out. We had a lot of fun doing this last year. While the Golden Globe Awards themselves are utterly ridiculous and meaningless, the ceremony has a light atmosphere, it usually runs on schedule, and the celebrities in the audience are encouraged to drink. And Ricky Gervais is hosting again, which promises to be hilarious. Join us here for an entertaining evening and plenty of opportunities to win free Blu-ray discs. See you then!
Please read after the page break for the contest rules and information on how to claim a prize. The Bonus View will be taking Monday off for the MLK holiday and to rest up from the live-blogging. We’ll be back on Tuesday with your regularly-scheduled posts.

It’s been 21 years since John Grisham’s breakout bestselling novel ‘The Firm’ was published, and 19 since Tom Cruise starred in the blockbuster movie version, yet NBC is just now getting around to adapting a TV series spin-off. Talk about jumping on a property while it’s still hot. Was the show worth the wait? Well, it’s not the worst thing that NBC has aired in recent years, I’ll give it that.

The pendulum of my feelings for this final season of ‘Chuck’ continues to swing. I don’t know if this Friday’s episode really saw a big increase in quality, or if I was just more receptive to being entertained by it that night. In either case, this one really clicked with me.

Consider this your fair warning. When the Golden Globe Awards air this Sunday, January 15th at 8 PM EST on NBC, The Bonus View will live-blog the event with contests where you can win free Blu-ray goodies. Even if you’ve won any of our other contests within the past year, the normal rules that would prohibit you from winning again will be set aside. While no one takes the Golden Globes seriously as an awards ceremony, the telecast itself is usually a good time. With Ricky Gervais hosting again after last year’s controversial run, what he does this time should be really interesting. Be sure to join us here on Sunday for all the fun!
Have I been too hard on ‘Chuck’ lately? Last week, I was feeling pretty negative about the recent Christmas-themed episode, but honestly, it wasn’t really that bad. Maybe I was just in a sour mood when I watched it? Whatever the case, this past Friday’s follow-up episode wasn’t exactly a huge step up in quality or anything, but I found myself enjoying it a little more and remembering why I watch this show in the first place.
