My parents, my son, and I all watch Merlin together. It's something we can all watch as a family and enjoy together without having to cover my 6-year-old son's ears or eyes during the show. Some people have complained that it doesn't follow the true story of Arthur, and about children getting the wrong impression of him. You can't believe everything you see on T.V. anyways, so what's the big deal? Instead of criticizing a great show, such as Merlin, perhaps they need to take the opportunity to make it an education moment by explaining the difference between fact and fiction. After all, a 10-year-old child should know the difference by that age.
Merlin is good, clean entertainment. It's free from half-naked girls and profanity. It's also very entertaining. Finally a show for the whole family that we all can enjoy!
