This was sent to me by my friend Cheryl, Territorial Librarian for American Samoa. This TV show looks like it'll be great and I can't wait to download them after they air, and watch them.
The preview is great!

The Librarians, a dark new comedy on Australian TV that delves behind the hard cover of a suburban library, debuts October 31. Frances O’Brien, devout Catholic and panic disorder sufferer, runs a tight ship as head librarian at the Middleton Interactive Learning Centre. Her life unravels when she is forced to employ her ex-best friend, Christine Grimwood—now facing criminal drug charges—as the children’s librarian. As pointed out by director Wayne Hope, the variety of people at a public library makes it ripe for comedy material. The Australian Library and Information Association has launched a blog to serve as a professional forum about the show. Check out the trailer (:56) and interview
(4:4. The shows will be downloadable from ABC Television after they are broadcast....

I really can't wait for this show! We've been seeing the ads here and there for a few weeks now, and really like what we see. BUT, it is replacing THE show of all shows, 'Summer Heights High'. Sure, the series was played out until the finale, but its left a gap that I don't think 'The Librarians' will come too close to, despite having similarities as far as the whole 'shock' value thing goes with some of the characters.
