On April 20, Merlin: The Complete First Season will be released in the U.S. This wonderful and imaginative series looks at the main players from the legend of King Arthur from the time when they were teenagers. We discover young Arthur, Lancelot, Merlin the magician and of course, Gwen (Guinevere) and other characters in a Camelot populated by contemporary attitudes.
From the description: As what Smallville did for Superman, Merlin is a new drama series that updates the story of the infamous sorcerer of Arthurian legend for a new audience. In a time before history began, the mythical city of Camelot was a fantastical realm and a dangerous world in which magic has been banned by the ruthless tyrant Uther Pendragon. When Merlin, a young man gifted with extraordinary magical powers, arrives in the kingdom, he discovers his destiny and that of the kingdom's young leader in waiting, Arthur, are inextricably linked.
Thanks to Bridget from Warner Brothers, I have two copies of Merlin: The Complete First Season to give away! To enter, just let me know the first thing you would do if you woke up tomorrow with magic powers (I'd zap 20 pounds from around my waist, but others might have more far-reaching goals!). These DVDs are Region 1, so the giveaway is limited to only the U.S. and Canada. I'll choose the winners using random.org on Wed., April 28, so I must have your entries by April 27. Remember, leave an email address in your comment or make sure it's visible on your profile so I can contact you. Good luck!
To whet your appetite for life in Camelot, here are some clips from the series:
