NBC will continue to air the BBC's Merlin on Sunday nights this month. Here are the dates and times (EST):
5 JULY: "Lancelot" (8:00 PM)
12 JULY: "A Remedy to Cure All Ills" (8:00 PM)
Following lackluster ratings, NBC is now airing the series in one-hour blocks as a lead-in to a movie showing. In June they had aired the first four episodes in two two-hour blocks on successive Sundays.
There is no release date yet for the Region 1 DVD of the series, though it available on DVD now in Europe along with a series of tie-in books.
