God this brings back memories! From Winnipeg, use to see this show always! Never visited Toronto yet...I wish to when the pandemic is over.....hopefully.
It’s not the same as it was back when the show was made. When the show came out, Toronto had an obscene amount of character and diversity, not to mention a thriving artistic community, city planning committee and architectural preservation culture. It has now become extremely gentrified, sterile and awash with new, cheap, Chinese-backed “paper” condos. The difference between 30 years ago and now for Toronto is night and day.
I'm American but I I lived in a suburb of Detroit for 3 years. If I adjusted the rabbit-ear antenna on top of my TV to the right angle, I could pick up the CBC-TV station from across the river in Windsor, ON clearly. I stumbled across this show one evening and I was hooked. I didn't care that it was terminally hammy, overheated, and overacted. There was something about it that made it compulsively watchable. Maybe it was the Canadian setting - very much like the States and yet different enough to be interesting. Maybe because it was filmed entirely in Toronto; you know, "New York as run by the Swiss." I loved it when Leon ran for mayor. It's a shame that it has vanished into the CBC archives, apparently for good.

3 seconds into this CZcams clip and I was suddenly awash with the feelings of my childhood. My mother was a paralegal on Bay Street at a top firm up until 1993, and she would watch this show religiously. I was later told that it actually pretty accurately portrayed the “dramatic and overzealous” law culture of the late 80’s/early 90’s in Toronto, albeit without the mob ties and the heavy cocaine-use. What brings this home for me the most is the feeling that everything was stable in the city back then. No notions of racism, no major opioid overuse, no mass-gentrification, no decommissioned historical buildings-turned-condos, no pandemic and no social tyranny. We had it so good then, and we didn’t even know it.
Ángel Osorno yo también la veía a veces hasta en la madrugada! Me gustaba mucho me recuerdo cuando alimentaba a mi bb por la noche ahora tiene 15 años siempre despertaba noche para verla
También la veía de madrugada, aún cuando era un adolescente en aquel entonces me parecía muy interesante,me hubiese gustando tener la oportunidad ser abogado 😪
Canada's answer to L.A. Law. Even the theme begins with a horn note. I'd change the title from Street Legal to something more appropriate, such as Canadians in Crisis.
At the time this was on TV, I thought that the girl with brown eyes and brown hair was stunning, I don't think this now. Strange how our feeling change with time.
jferkfjkj Yes, that part is true, but i notice that in MOST acting , even like some huge hollywood movies and actors...its fake and plastic all across the board. And any shows that have to do with rich people, law or "soap' style shows, like melrose, street legal, 90210, soap's, sit-coms etc etc, they are all pilfered with terrible acting. These shows like street legal and the above mentioned shows the writers struggle to come up with story lines and keep things interesting for the viewers, so they add all these stupid little dramas and then the acting becomes really stupid and they think that The viewers cannot see through that. Its so annoying. One of the worst shows was "Heartland" the first few seasons were fantastic....but the decline of the show was sad as the relationships that developed within the characters declined and the conversations got worse and worse. So stupid. But you are right, I'm glad you see this too. I rarely watch tv for that reason and movies too., some older style movies have much better written story lines, that are actually believable and i can appreciate those more. Thanks again, have a great day.
Greetings from Ireland 🇮🇪 Used to love this show
Hugely popular show in Ireland back in early 90’s

Can someone please upload all of the full episodes of the entire Street Legal TV series.

I wish they would release this series on DVD!!
I'm disappointed that the revamped Street Legal got cancelled after just six episodes and one season.
Agreed. The re-boot was fabulous. I hope that it's shopped to other networks and/or Netflix. It's too good to end.
The guy in the chair called me a Jackass.
I remember this legal drama aired in PTV-4 during late 90s. I'm very young at that time.
I discovered this Show, 'Street Legal,' when I first visit to Detroit, MI.
Esta serie paso en México en 2004 por canal-11, tuvo muy poca difusión pero a mí me gustaba verla e incluso grabe unos episodios en vhs...

@@mayasolcorazon8855 si, ya empezaba tarde, sería padre que la retransmitan otra vez, igual que la sacarán el DVD o plataforma..

Upload a lot more episodes of Street Legal because I am great fan of Canadian Enterainment.

F**k me, this is every bit as terrible as I remember.
horrible actors.
+jferkfjkj shut up..for peeople who grew up with this show..it was awesome. We have a lot of respect for our actors. DORK
I'd respect them if they could act.
jferkfjkj But they can Act! Why would you say that?
There's just an amateurish feel to the way these actors portray their characters. They're either plastic and robotic or overacting.
