Ever since Kevin Reilly took over TNT and TBS, he has been cancelling all the shows that aren’t his. Even though those shows have had a strong fan bases and his new shows do not. In fact, he has been trying to turn TNT into the cheesy man’s FX and it is not working. Although, it is failing, that doesn’t stop him from cancelling good shows.
For example, today executive producer Dean Devlin, broke the sad news about his show today. He Tweeted, “Just got the official call. TNT has cancelled #TheLibrarians – I will immediately begin the process of trying to move the show elsewhere. Please keep your fingers crossed for us!”
I think this is a huge mistake because it was an enjoyable adventure show that the whole family could enjoy together. Hopefully his loss will be another network’s gain. They can go to a network that will appreciate it. Something it seems he never did.
When we last left off with the Parkers, they had just escaped to Alaska. Tonight at 10:30p on TBS on The Detour, they are starting off their new life in their new home state. They have new backgrounds and names to go with them, that is if they can remember them.
Nate (Jason Jones), Robin (Natalie Zea) and their kids, Jared (Liam Carroll) and Delilah (Ashley Gerasimovich) find the perfect place to live. It is a cute little town where everyone seems nice and they seem to like the Parkers. That is until Jared reveals his true name and their cover is blown. Will they have to be on the run again like they always are or can they settle there? To make matters worse, Nate is part of a viral video that exposes his family’s whereabouts. Guess who sees that video?
Coming up this season, Robin takes a job at a strip club and becomes a favorite of Big Daddy. While her husband takes on several type of jobs. Before he Nate proposes to his wife with one of the sh!ttiest proposals you will ever see. Wait until you see what that means. And so much more.
It is another wild season for The Detour, so you don’t want to miss a single second.
Rebecca Romijn has aged naturally and beautifully her whole life, but yesterday on The Librarians she aged 50 years in the time it takes to knock on the door. In order to age her and her co-stars, Lindy Booth, Christian Kane and John Harlan Kim, a half century like the rest of the town they were investigating, the makeup department really had to work their magic. And boy did they.
The Guardian posted a video of how they transformed the actress, from a young beauty into a woman who will be the catch at any old folks home, in a matter of hours. But to us, it looked like :40 seconds. The ageing transformation is the best I have ever seen, I would be surprised if they did not get an Emmy nomination for the work that they did on all of the actors in last night’s episode. No offense to This Is Us, but they can learn a thing from The Librarians’ makeup department in ageing someone.
Don’t believe me. To see the final product, then click here!
Tonight at 8p on TNT, The Librarians is finally back with two all-new episodes to save the world. Not from Donald Trump, but from magical artifacts falling into the wrong hands.
For example, during the 4th season premiere, someone has unearth one of the four cornerstones from the Library of Alexandria. If someone finds all four stones before Eve (Rebecca Romijn), Flynn (Noah Wyle), Jacob (Christian Kane), Ezekiel (John Harlan Kim) and Cassandra (Lindy Booth) do, then their library will be destroyed. Time is of the essence, and they have one major problem, they don’t know where any of the stones are hidden and there is no map detailing their location.
Thankfully, Jenkins (John Larroquette) knows someone who might be able to help them, since she hid the stones. But there is something else about her, she used to be Flynn’s old guardian before Eve and they also had love connection. Oh and Flynn thought she was dead. What will that mean for the future of Fleve? Especially since your saw their wedding in that sneak peek. But I have said too much.
The Librarians is the perfect mix of Sci-Fi, adventure and comedy all rolled into one show that you can watch with your family. How many shows like this can you do that with? And wait until you see next week’s Christmas themed episode.
Then at 8:30p but over on ABC, it is time for a DiMeo Christmas on Speechless. When Jimmy (John Ross Bowie) and Maya (Minnie Driver) are woken up by Dylan’s (Kyla Kenedy) snake, they did not know about, the family decides they want a dog. Well everyone but JJ (Micah Fowler), who would have to get the pup as a service dog since they are not allowed to own any animals at the house they are renting. He is busy with his film class, so he does not have time for a dog. Dylan goes behind his back to get the dog and when JJ finds out, he tells her he is going to get r-e-revenge on her. She is afraid, she is very afraid and she should be.
Also afraid of something is their brother, Ray (Mason Cook), wants to introduce his mom to his girlfriend’s mom. Taylor’s (Sedona James) mom (Sarah Chalke) and Maya have a history causing friction for everyone. Is this is the end of Raylor?
Finally, Kenneth (Cedric Yarbrough) makes the mistake of telling Jimmy that the store he is moonlights at is giving away free turkeys. Kenneth accidentally tells Jimmy how to break the system, so that he can get as many of the frozen bird as he wants. Kenneth knows it is a mistake because he knows the DiMeos, he just doesn’t realize how much of one until he opens the freezer door and several of them fall out of there since turkeys cannot fly. Why does Jimmy need all of those turkeys, you will just have to tune in to see.
Speechless is not your normal family show because the DiMeos are not perfect people, but they are the perfect family for each other. At the end of the day they take care of each other and that is a big part of making a good family sitcom. That and a lot of laughs, which every week they deliver. And the biggest selling point is they treat JJ like he is a normal kid and not like one who has Cerebral Palsy, and that alone makes this show very special to me with everything else is just grave on top.
TNT announced today that this season of Major Crimes will be its last. It seemed like that creator of the show was OK with it because of the quote he gave in the press release. James Duff said, “The whole company of Major Crimes is dedicated to making 2017-18 the best season yet.”
But then he took to Facebook and told a different story. He wrote, “I’m directing the finale of Major Crimes, so I can’t really answer all the questions that are being asked today about why Major Crimes was cancelled before we ran our sixth season. But I do want you to know that it was not at all my idea, nor did I want to leave the show.”
Then he added, “The actors, the writers, the producers and our talented crew would have held on as long as we were relevant. I am extraordinarily thankful to our viewers, who followed us to four different time slots in the last eighteen months, and who make up a very large part of what we call the community of the show. Without the loyalty of our audience, Major Crimes would have been gone much sooner.”
Finally he concluded with, “We’ll have a chance to talk about what happened in the near future. Meanwhile, we are determined to give you the best season we can. So sorry I couldn’t stop this moment from happening.”
I am surprised that they are cancelling the show because it has been their mainstay on the network for the last 5 seasons. It is still good show, but Kevin Reilly does not like any show that started before his reign. Which is sad because all the shows he picked up suck and now I am left only watching one show on the net as compared to at least 4 at a time before he became their president.
I am sure Major Crimes will go out on top, but it is just a shame they will not go past the 6th season.
