I had the same problem with L.A. Law.

I did go through the greyish-black market of sites like "tvshowsondvd". They are recorded off the TV. And by the looks of it, recorded on VHS. The quality is absolutely terrible. However, like most David E. Kelly shows, you really don't need the picture... like a radio show you can get the drift of what is going on with just the audio. I did have issues with giving my credit card to an obviously less-than-reputable source. So I went ahead and did what I had been planning to do for a while... applying for a credit card with a very low limit and using that for some internet purchases.

BTW - I am very much against piracy and breaking of copyright law. I will not use torrents to download anything that can be purchased at Future Shop or via iTunes. However, if a series as great as L.A. Law is not available, then you do what you have to do. Now when it does become available, I'll purchase it the day it comes out. Happened last month with "The Outer Limits". I had downloaded that last year, but it was just re-issued as complete seasons on DVD over the last month.
