So, as it turns out, even with Mr. Robot having its finale last week, Wednesdays remain a pretty good night of television! We have back to back episodes of The Librarians, new Vikings and History’s newest show, Knightfall – which I am on board with. For your Christmas-special choices, Dean Cain counts down the best Christmas movies and an hour long visual presentation of that creepy holiday classic, Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer.
8pm Hour:
1st Choice: The Librarians. Christmas Episode, done The Librarians-style!! “When Santa takes Flynn, Baird and Jenkins on his first vacation in centuries, he leaves his beloved sleigh in the care of the Librarians. But when Ezekiel’s career criminal mother steals the magic door, they must use the sleigh to save her, as well as Christmas itself, from Santa’s Grinch of a brother, the Patron Saint of Thieves.” TNT
2nd Choice: Vikings. Ahead of tonight’s new outing, watch last week’s episode wherein Lagertha drinks like a Viking, Bjorn visits Sicily, Ivar tricks the Saxons and the crazy Warrior Bishop has visions of starving Vikings. History
3rd Choice: Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer. “Elmo Shropshire narrates this animated interpretation of the offbeat Yule tune, as Jake Spankenheimer (Alex Doduk) tries to find his grandma and save her Christmas shop. It’s in danger of being sold by his greedy cousin, Mel” The CW

Meanwhile, the plotting behind the royal wedding becomes deadly.” History
