The Librarians on ABC

I did not like The Librarians. I think the writers made some basic mistakes starting with making the main character horrible. If the main character was someone else having to cope with a horrible character it would have been easier to watch. We all know there are horrible people working in libraries as there are in any other field, but who wants to watch a whole program about them?

Next is that they have obviously heard some stories about what goes on in libraries but I don't think they did their research terribly well. It was all a bit ordinary.

How about simply knowing basic workplace stuff? As if anyone would get away with being so blatantly racist in this day and age and in a senior position! Certainly racism exists but no one would be game to be so blatant! They'd be hit with anti-discrimination in about 5 seconds flat. Especially because it was a public library, that means government you fools, no one would get away with it.

And that team building scenario? Where one of the staff is suppose to end up crippled? For goodness sake as if any team building company would take risks like that. Their insurance companies wouldn't let them.

And obviously some of the people working there are not librarians. A couple of them would have to be Library Technicians!! Calling the show "The Library" would have been better! Of course.

The interesting thing is that those of us who do work in libraries have been talking for weeks about all the different scenarios that we know of and have been involved in. They are genuinely funny and very reality based. If the writers had talked to enough of us they'd have enough to keep a series going for years.
