Teach Me 'ow To Be King?

According to this it seems that NBC are planning to show Merlin, the BBC Merlin, in a primetime-ish slot.

This could be interesting. I wonder if the suits have seen it, or whether they are hoping it will turn out to be a bit Harry Potter, rather than a bit homoerotic.

I still haven't seen it, so the homoerotic comments stem from the comments of people who have. Either way, it's nice to see the Yanks catching on to "just show the Brit version!", so perhaps Life on Mars didn't die for nothing.
