I am sadden by the cancellation of “Merlin”…it was actually a
Very entertaining show!! But hopefully there will be a spin off
Of that TV series in the future with the same actors of course.
One could only wish and hope
Now that so many thoughtful people have told us how the series ends…I am saved from watching the series final episodes. Thank y’all ever so much.
Why do all the great shows keep getting cancelled? hey Syfy!!! Pull a Lifetime and un-cancel this show. C’mon, give it one more or two more seasons, still more story to tell.
I’m sorry to see Merlin go I so enjoyed this show and looked forward to it ever episodes.
ditto Diane Stevens. Please bring it back
Still airing the final episodes? The entire 5th Season has already been released on DVD. I watched all four disks last month. I won’t ruin the final but it sucked. Writing and acting was good but the story line I didn’t like how it ended.
Sorry to hear Merlin is being cancelled, I looked forward to watching every friday night, I hope they change their minds and keep it on. I liked the fact of no profanity and sex, and the violence was minor. I liked this series much better than Camelot, I found it much more entertaining and the fact my 10 year-old nephew could watch it when he stays with us as I didn’t have to worry about what he saw. I loved all the characters and creatures-I will miss the show very much, it was addicting.
Will deeply miss Merlin. It is a enjoyable show. Anyone can watch. You cannot say that about too may Shows these days.
Loved the show. Sorry it’s ending. No profanity, sex, brutality…who knew such a show would be so addicting and popular. People are saying something. Anyone listening?
it is to bad Merlin is already on it last season. I have enjoyed following this series on Syfy., it is very entertaining, cast are so good. unfortunately , they already killed Arthur. when they could have featured more adventures.. Sir Galahad has not appeared yet..
