Arthurian statistic
This is completely personal. I use Thomas Malory as the source along with Geoffrey of Monmouth and Chrétien de Troyes.
+ 1 = I consider the event/topic fundamental and it happens in the tv show
- 1 = I consider the event/topic fundamental but it happens in a very different way (for example: Bedivere's death in Merlin)

I'll have to add that Camelot has only one season and that Merlin had three season and one more to come, where, I heard there will be our lovely Agravaine.
This is a list of arthurian features but it is not about which one is the best show or which one is more entertaining.
I wish I knew Kaamelott enough to do something similar also there. I'll just add what I know but be aware I only watched four episodes.
This was more difficult also because it is a parody : D
KAAMELOTT (first season only)
+1 Arthur is the king
+1 Arthur and Guinevere are married
+1 They have the Round Table
+1 They know about the Grail and looking for it

+1 Excalibur is Arthur's sword
+1 Excalibur is magical
+1 There is the Christian religion
+1 The lady of the lake is a witch
+1 Perceval is called Perceval le Gallois
-1 There are Huns and Attila
-1 Ywain is Guinevere's brother
+1 Sir Bors is one of the best knights
+1 There is a Roman emperor
+1 Karadoc, Dagonet, Perceval, Ywain etc are some of the knights
+1 Lancelot is in love with Guinevere
+1 Ywain and Gawain go to some quests together
+1 Arthur was conceived at Tintagel

+1 Arthur is Igraine's son

21 - 3 = 18

I think that so far Kaamelott is the best arthurian tv show. But is only an opinion because the various +1 and -1 come from something I think it's important in the legend.
I need to do some statistic test XD (now that I've passed it at the university!)
