The Librarians

I read that TNT has made the stupid decision to cancel The Librarians after this season and that the creator of the show is shopping the show around to other networks. That is the dumbest idea TNT has had in the history of the channel it seems they only want to air procedural cop dramas and shows about the drug industry or gangs these days. We have more than enough procedural cop dramas already and The Librarians is a unique franchise that I have watched since the very 1st movie The Spear of Destiny. With a show like this it could go 10 seasons with a strong following because everyone I know loves the show. My nephew and I watch it every week and play the repeats on Hulu every weekend and he is just 15 so millennials obviously love the show too. And their are so many stories that are left to tell literally hundreds of storylines can be told that haven't been touched on yet with all the ancient stories of magic and gods/goddesses and magical creatures that have never been mentioned in the show yet. So why is TNT pulling the plug on the show? It is about the only show I watch on that network anymore. Like when SYFY pulled Warehouse 13 I stopped watching it until Krypton just started playing. Maybe if TNT doesn't come to their senses and renew the show you can try Netflix, Hulu or Amazon if nothing else try WGN to continue the show, so don't stop writing and filming because I bet their is a network that will be smart enough to know a good investment when they see it and we will be there to watch it. Good Luck finding a new home for the show I desperately hope you do or hope TNT realizes what it is that they are losing and green lights it again.

I like this tv series so much,funny,educational,good characters,interesting adventures around the world and also magic and mystery.old school type of fashioned tv show , absolutely worthy to watch.

I really enjoy the non fiction light hearted detective shows. This is a great example. While the first 2 shows were a bit rocky I have really enjoyed the season but it was so short! I actually had not heard of the librarian movie prior to reading the post. I have a lot of professional friends in their 40's who also enjoy this show. Maybe it's because there is a bit of creativity and problem solving but after a hard day at the office it's an easy and fun way to unwind. I hope it returns for many more seasons that will be an actual season.

Also wish it wasn't the last season of Falling skies. That is another favorite!!

NATO counter-terrorism Colonel Eve Baird (Rebecca Romijn) is hunting WMDs in Germany when Librarian Flynn Carsen (Noah Wyle) suddenly shows up. It's a world of magic which exists along ley lines across the globe. Magic has been fading away as it gets contained by artifacts. Librarians have been collecting those artifacts and knowledge to keep the world from falling into chaos. The Library sends Baird an invitation to be the new Guardian. They save new librarian candidates from attackers bend on stealing artifacts. The three new librarians are oil rigger Jake Stone (Christian Kane), thief Ezekiel Jones (John Harlan Kim), and janitor Cassandra Cillian (Lindy Booth) who has a brain tumor which gives her visions of knowledge. When the main library is lost in an alternate dimension, Jenkins (John Larroquette) brings them to a satellite branch.

This is perfectly fine silly TV fun. It's enjoyable without being too substantive. I've never seen the preceding movies so I have no connection with Noah Wyle's character. That's probably why I don't see the purpose of Wyle's back and forth. He comes in, he leaves, he comes in, he leaves. I'd rather have him do the pilot and leave the show to the newcomers. The group has fine chemistry but he keeps them in training wheels. This show reminds me of Warehouse 13 and it should be fun for any fans of shows like that.

I was intrigued by the promos for this series, but after watching the pilot I was afraid it was a dud. But after a shaky start it quickly gained its footing. The action is cheesy, the characters have yet to dig beneath their surfaces, but in the meantime, this show provides some wonderfully quirky storytelling. To me it's reminiscent of the very early seasons of Buffy or Stargate SG-1. The production value isn't great, but not in a bad way -- it adds to the charm.

On the whole, this show uses a lot of time-worn tropes but always manages to add a fresh twist. I'm afraid it won't last in this world of too-shiny programming, but I sincerely hope that The Librarians continues for many years yet. Possibly my favorite new show of 2014.
