The librarians was a great show, I can't believe they canceled it! TNT is a joke, they cancel all of the good shows and keep the crap.
... View More"The Librarians" is a spin-off of a movie series that began in 2004. The original movies appeared to be a Doctor Who and Warehouse 13 crossover fanfiction, with a bit of X-Files tied in, and a "search and replace" made to change specific words to "Library" or "The Librarian". And yes, WH13 came after the original movies, but the show altered The Library's function to more closely match WH13. Cheesy, poorly written, and poorly cast, but mildly entertaining as background noise.The Librarians is a continuation of this odd, poorly made amalgam of other popular TV shows and books, but with a few extra characters -- none of which can act (or perhaps the writing and directing were just so haphazardly slapped together that it ruins any possibility of the actors showing off their own ability). Unfortunately they were not able to nail the camp value of Doctor Who or Star Trek very well, and I'm afraid it will not hold even it's mediocrity into the future. A quickly forgotten show filled with quickly forgotten characters and actors. Well, aside from the massively annoying "math girl". After 4 seasons, I still do not care about a single character on this show, and forget their names almost instantly. Very sad how poorly it was done, because it COULD HAVE BEEN very good.The absolute best part about the show are the guest appearances. Bruce Campbell as Santa Claus, Jane Curtin, Felicia Day.... the guy that played Odo on DS9.... Okay, so that's really about it..... You get 9 episodes out of 4 seasons that have memorable actors or characters.
... View MoreIt seems there will be no Season 5, at least not on TNT.Understandable, as the writing of the fourth season has gone down hill considerably compared to the first two seasons.And it was not just the writing, the stunts and special effects were also lacking.Take episode 'And the Graves of Time'. The fighting stunts were terrible, almost as bad as some of the "Superheroine" clips found on YouTube. I know that both Rebecca Romijn and Rachel Nichols can do better, so I am not blaming them.This whole bit about having to round up "magical artifacts" has been done much better, both on the the Friday the 13th TV series (now renamed Friday's Curse), and Warehouse 13.Of the episodes of Season 4, I did like 'And the Silver Screen'. It had something that was lacking on many of the other episodes, a good plot and suspense, even if some of the elements had been done before (see the above two TV series).If there is a Season 5 somewhere, I may still watch it, but I hope it gets better than Season 4.

View MoreEntertaining, no matter how critical you are about today's offered series!The DC comic series noted in the header are perfect examples of poor writing we see these days - social justice issues the driving force week after week. Unnecessary, and boring the hell out of us!The Librarians have been giving us good stories. That's it! And, without getting political or any agenda undertones. Kids to adults, this series will keep your attention. Clean and classy!
