"Mr. Merlin" ran on CBS from October 7, 1981 to August 18, 1982. when i saw the commercials for the reruns on USA i was so little i thought Mr. Merlin was played by Walter Cronkite! i don't know how long the repeats were on but i'd guess a few years since the show was only on a season. when i saw a commercial on USA back then for the show, it happened during "Sanchez of Bel-Air"...now there's an obscure show for all of you! that show and the one about the twin girls, "Double Trouble", were my favorites on USA along with Don Adams' "Check It Out!". you brought up "Mr. Merlin", do you know about Commander USA? here in Ohio we had a Commander USA type who was on every Friday and Saturday night showing old movies: Fritz Frawling, better known on the air as "The Night Owl"...he wore big owl glasses and spoke in a Gary Owens exaggerated monotone! USA had to get sleazy and dropped Commander USA and replaced him with Gilbert Gotfried and later, Rhonda Shearer...i think even Sandra Bernhard did the USA movie show too. maybe she still does?
