User blog comment:Lady in Waiting/It's Official - S5 is Merlin's Last!/@comment-5653093-20121126101522

I am sad that the series is coming to an end. Partly because there are so? many god awful programmes on TV - this and a few others were actually worth watching.

Other than that I am actually glad that this series is coming to an end. It has been funny, witty and sad - I'd rather there? are five series that are well made rather than ten that aren't. This show will always be one of my favourites. At least the actors can go do something else rather than being tied down to one show.

Another reason why I am glad that this series is the last - with the amount of negative comments that I have seen after each episode on this wiki...At least the show will go out with a bang. The contract was only for five years - and five years we have had. We can at least cherish the remaining episodes that have yet to be aired. This last series has definitely been one of the best - I have thoroughly enjoyed each and every episode so far! True there are some bad points of every episode but I think the good points have far outweighed the bad!
