Alright I suppose the hard way is necessary. I had gone through this
process once before and it worked fine until I got careless one day.
Smiling. I will also make note of holding the option key when pressing
enter on the TV app.
Appreciate your input very much.

Mmm, I suspect there's more going on here and merely restoring your library
folder would probably not be much help; it sounds more like network fragility
of some sort or, let's be honest, fragility of the entire Home Sharing
subsystem. Even so, the library should be stored under your home directory,
Movies, TV (it may be different depending on how long you've had this library
or installation). The precise location is in the Settings for the TV app, under
Advanced, media location.
Before you panic, try this. No guarantees, but it might clear some fog the next
time you run into it. Hold Option while you press ENTER to open the TV app from
the Dock. You are asked for a library location; point again to the location
where your TV library is. If you are told you can't possibly do that because
reasons, reboot your Mac and try it again. If it still doesn't work, disable
all media sharing, turn off Wi-Fi Sync for every connected device in Finder,
reboot and (sigh) try one more time. Eventually you will be able to choose the
correct library and make sure the content is correct. Now you can re-enable all
that stuff, and reconnect your TV.
But, look, I just have to be honest here and say, things were bad when iTunes
did everything, and they're arguably worse now that everything's a background
daemon. It can't hurt to try it, make sure everything's on Ethernet, but it's
just not very good and hasn't been for some time now. I've found iTunes Wi-Fi
syncing to be marginally more reliable, but even then it's worth running a sync
just before heading out. No backups, unless you're a masochist and love, love,
love typing your passcode, but that's another rant for another day.
