Yep, the Joseph and Maria shows were aired back-to-back here, and I just checked teh internetz and apparently we were 2 years behind for Joseph, and 3 years for Maria. Which surprised me, because over here they showed Joseph first and made it sound like Maria was the follow-up show! Nice to hear that Lee Mead's still doing well. Hopefully I'll get to see him in something someday!
As for Merlin, I only know popular culture stuff about Arthurian mythology, but even that is enough to make me realize that the show is definitely the "AU" version of those tales. Fortunately, that doesn't bother me at all! And yes, it's a fun show, and you should give it a try. :)
Still, we get the delay the other way, too. Having fallen for Angel as well as Buffy, I had to buy the videos, as there was simply no way to watch it on terrestrial TV.
I'm sure you do get delayed on all sorts of American shows. Angel and Buffy still show up very frequently on cable TV re-runs over here, but a new fan would probably still run for the videos since those types of old re-runs tend to have additional commercials inserted (with footage taken out to make room).
