Reviews

skuggvarg-13 I was barely five years old when I watched the few episodes they aired in Sweden but I remember loving it and since my parents recorded it on our old VCR (REALLY old like double sided cassettes old) so I could keep watching it growing up and it did ironically help me learn English that much earlier. It was hilarious with how Zac usually messed things up learning from Merlin the Sorcerer while at the same time trying to keep it a secret.Sad it only went for one season though.Could have been more or possibly they could try and do a reboot?A real golden series that takes me back decades.

morning_coffee_cub I really enjoyed this series growing up. it's charming story plots are wonderful and the majority of the cast are VERY lovable (unlike what's out today). Like everyone else, I really HATED that it lasted only one season!! what's up with that?! it had Clark Brandon (the only guy I've seen to have buck teeth, button nose, and BIG blue-eyes, and still looked damn awesome). it had the momentum to run at least for another few seasons. I had seen Clark Brandon in various TV roles (Jo's BF from Facts of Life, for one), but really liked that this show revolved around him. I've seen his later performances (ex: Fast food--though i really didn't care for it--Zack's personality really fit Clark for me... but then again, so did Eddie's). I hated that he faded into obscurity. he was just as talented as others in that time period, and it's a shame that studios didn't make more use of him. as a kid, i wanted to be like him.. except my eyes are hazel.

bunny_hopgirl I think Mr Merlin`s great even if its just to gaze into Zach`s big blue eyes!!! There seems to be a moral to each of the episodes. I loved watching it as a child and now that I have most of the episodes, my children also love watching it! Better than Sabrina! Its nice to have a handsome wizard for the ladies!!!

Lynne Parker This short-lived series was the ultimate for me as a teenager. I thought Clark Brandon was great and he was my heartthrob. It was a fun programme and disappointingly lasted just one series and never been repeated! All you 'Mr. Merlin' fans write to the network and demand re-runs!
