its a shame this hasnt been released on dvd, cant get it over here in the uk

For Canadians this is a really unusual show -- CANADA HAD ITS OWN 'STREET LEGAL' just a few years before NZ.

It was about Toronto lawyers and barristers and solicitors. The two shows are probably equivalent to each other but not in the way anyone would understand or expect. This show was prime time hit TV in Canada for several years running, unlike its NZ counterpart.

Vaguely (from what I can tell) Canada "Street Legal' and NZ's version don't have much in common in the surface or in their plot lines. There was no cross influence here.

Odder still : Canada has not seen NZ's version nor visa versa.

Odder still for me : I am a Canadian national that has only seen the NZ version on your soon to be retired Analogue TV. Yes, that's right -- I have not seen any more than 5 minutes worth of the Canadian version.
