The Librarians TV series on TNT

[FaxModem1]

Does anyone remember the Librarian TV movies on TNT from about a decade ago? Well, now apparently TNT is making a TV series coming this December.



I rather enjoyed the trilogy, so I'm actually looking forward to this, as it looks rather fun.

too bad Noah Wyle is dicking around with Falling Skies, he pretty much made the show.

Evidently, he will "appear sporadically" in the show.

Also Falling Skies is airing its last season this summer, so after that he'll be freed up.

I'll give it a shot. Those Librarian movies were nice campy fun. I like movies that don't take themselves or their premise super seriously, especially in this day and age when everything is uber gritty and dark.

I think that kind of wastes the premise, depends on how campy, Stargate campy or Lifetime/Hallmark channel cheese campy. If anything wished this would get the dark serious procedural treatment instead of dozens of police or hospital dramas. It almost reminds me of a point and click adventure game, but the trailer points towards campy comedy rather than fun adventure.

But the thing is, we already have that show. Literally every other supernatural adventure show on tv (Supernatural, Constantine, that one with the brothers grimm I can't be bothered to watch) is doing that. Having this one do it will just have it get lost in the crowd, and will mean dumping everything that made the original movies so enjoyable.

I'm hoping it stays Stargate campy; good scripts, great timing, and a guy using his head to get them out of trouble. The movies had simple scenes of Excalibur dancing around teaching The Librarian how to swordfight -- not even a Checkov's Gun, just a fun little scene showing the Library's got personality. They had a lot of little asides like that: Bob Newhart's character stepping out of the Fountain of Youth as a toddler, then immediately being old again; Nessie swimming in the lake under the Library; a quip about time-traveling ninjas after Verne's Time Machine.

Ya know, it's kinda like Warehouse 13 in a good way.

Warehouse 13 already was Warehouse 13 in a good way.
