Talk:Merlin Series 6 (Petition)/@comment-205.209.72.246-20140317143018

There was never going to be a season six. They never planned one. The producers think shows like this go stale but it simply isn't true. People are STILL buying Xena collections a decade later so it's a big mistake to close shows like this early. Look at Kyle XY. That show really deserved to go on but it was cancelled. They think they are not getting enough popularity after one year they should shut them down but Xena and Hercules (the first of these types of series), didn't take off to their fullest extent until the third year they were on the air and why is that? It took that long to reach people. Now we have Internet, not many people watch tv. They buy series or watch them on Hulu or Netflix so now before a season reaches it's full popularity it must have the time to reach these. All five seasons of Merlin are available on Netflix. I would. Love it to be longer but it, unlike many deserving others got great support and plenty of chance to reach its full potential. It is not better to end one early than to let it go stale. It's better to let it live longer and become a classic that continues to make money well past it's prime. The producers are simply wrong.
