Just wondering - Does anyone else here watch the BBC series "Merlin" starring Colin Morgan and Bradley James? or "Downton Abbey"?

I haven't, though I have seen parts of Downtown Abbey. Unfortunately most of the good PBS shows here are shown at hours I cannot watch due to assignments or they're shows I'd rather not see.
Then again - ever since they stopped showing the original run of "Doctor Who" on the station (and are currently a series behind on the 2005-onward run), it's been harder to watch.
Then again, most of my faves aren't even aired on ours anymore - mostly comedies.

Oh I don't get them when they are actually aired. Netflix has the first three seasons of Merlin. The fourth just finished playing on SyFy, so it will probably come to Netflix soon. I've seen it online. They are filming Season 5 right now, which won't air in the UK until October.
Netflix also as the first season of Downton Abbey, and the second season can be seen on iTunes or Amazon Prime. They are filming the third season now which also won't air until December.
In the UK, they film the whole season before they start airing the episodes. Maybe they are trying to avoid disaster situations (Charlie Sheen as a shining example).

I don't watch either of them, although I have been thinking about checking out MERLIN for quite some time. Who knows? Maybe one day I will.

Well, I was hooked on it and my husband was not very interested. Then he finally saw the first episode and wanted to see the rest. So, you kind of have to give it a chance. The first few shows are a little hampered by less than stellar CGI, but as the show went on, they got more skilled at the Special FX.
Anyway, i just wondered. It's a fun show.

After hearing about Merlin for some time, when it was on NBC and then SyFy was showing Series 3. Out of nowhere I decided to watch an episode of it. The one where Morgana returns after having been disappeared. Good episode and some online friends who are also fans of the show encouraged me to watch it from the beginning on Hulu. I did and got hooked. Great show! Can't wait for the upcoming Series.

Is MERLIN even still on? Is it still hosting new episodes? I'm trying to wait until a series is complete anymore before getting too hooked. I hate the long waits in between seasons.
