i didn't watch this it's 1st season (on NBC?) but my folks told me it was pretty good and couldn't believe that me, of all people hadn't bothered to check it out. well, this time i did...and syfy, got me hooked on this one...not that there was much else to watch on friday nights.

BBC had a very similar series that was a lot of fun, historically and legend-wise very loose but still very watchable Robin Hood Jonas Armstrong and Richard Armitage. I think there were 3 seasons.

I'm still watching and enjoying this. Silly stories, competent and personable actors, what's not to like?

I tried watching it awhile back but the fakeness/cheapness of the sets and costumes compared to The Tudors put me off, but then I'm a curmudgeon... [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] and of course their budget is probably about 1/20 of The Tudors.

They do get to film it at a nice castle in France...which Anthony Head has said he enjoys.

Arthur in love with a serving wench named Guinevere. It's different. But this was a good, fun episode. Anthony Head takes the role seriously (although I wish they'd make him grow his hair longer. And the boy Merlin turning himself old was a good make-up job on the crew's part.

I like that this is on the same night as Fringe because I couldn't take two "make 'em think" shows in a row. Merlin is fantsy escapism but I buy it.

Fantasy escapism...gotta love it.

BBC's Robin Hood was the same way and I miss it, even during it's most silly episodes it was still fun.

I barely ever watch Fringe anymore. Every time I do, I keep thinking it's like those last few seasons of X-files....can't put my finger on it really tho.

Merlin returns with a new season on Jan. 6th. The King (Anthony Head) is dead, long live King Arthur!

I saw the commercial last night!

Speaking of guilty pleasures!

One week till return, set dvr's! 10 pm Scifi.

Alright, that was nerdy but I just remembered to look and I'm so glad I didn't miss it....cause I would've.

Though I adore Anthony Head, I am looking forward to the new realm under Arthur's leadership....with a little help from Merlin. :lol:

Merlin returns to Syfy schedule tonight with new episodes!

Seems weird without Anthony Head as King but I guess it was time to move on. Merlin is still hiding his magical side from Arthur...I think that's something that should end soon as well. But overall, this is a fun romp and tonight there was an alien in it that made us all keep saying "Wha???"

New season began on Syfy tonight! I love my medieval costume shows.
