  Street Legal
When Street Legal completed its eighth and final season, one TV journalist called it "unblushingly sentimental, unblinkingly campy, unabashedly Canadian and completely addictive." The one-hour CBC drama series about a group of Toronto lawyers stands as a landmark event in Canadian broadcasting history.
One reason Street Legal ended was that CBC could not afford to have two dramatic series on air at the same time and the older program was supplanted by Side Effects, a medical drama.
The show wrapped up with a two-hour movie in the spring of 1994 which drew a whopping 1.6 million viewers.

 Street Legal (television show) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Street Legal was a Canadian television series, which aired on the CBC from 1987 to 1994.
Spin-off from the television movie Shell Game, Street Legal focused on the professional and private lives of the partners in a small Toronto, Ontario law firm, Barr, Robinovitch and Tchobanian.
The primary stars were Sonja Smits as Carrie Barr, Eric Peterson as Leon Robinovitch, and C.

 City Journal Autumn 1995 | On Sesame Street, It's All Show by Kay S. Hymowitz
Its shows are an encyclopedia of TV forms: minute-long soap operas with sappy organ music to teach the importance of trees, imitation MTV videos with a punk Muppet hostess to teach the letter N, game shows and their smarmy hosts, sitcoms, talk shows, TV award ceremonies—you name it.
The show became, thanks to their marketing skill, Educational Television for the Good of Children, Particularly Poor Children, and the ironies of its love relationship with the television ad could be ignored.
From the outset, the show was a hit, thanks in part to a promotional blitz orchestrated by the Carl Byoir agency and acknowledged by Sesame Street staffers to be "as extensive as had ever been attempted for any television project." In the first season alone, up to 36 percent of all children became regular viewers.

 CNN.com - Matt Drudge v. 'K Street': Does the Internet maverick have a claim? - Nov. 14, 2003
The much-hyped new television show "K Street" is a strange mix.
Thus, even if "K Street" were ultimately victorious, Drudge's case might linger in court for quite a while -- potentially forcing the show to settle to cut down on its risk of having to pay a large verdict.
However, because "K Street" straddles the news/entertainment boundary, a libel suit may somewhat be in tension with Drudge's trademark and copyright claim.

Certainly, the assumption that these television shows have an impact on their viewers is a reasonable one.
So, the most interesting question about these types of shows is not what they’re about (or what the contributors say they’re about) in some kind of objective sense (if that is even discernable), but what viewers believe these shows are about.
For instance, the statement, "Although we cannot be sure of the cultural significance of its representation of the legal system, on the whole it is a positive one that reflects some level of confidence in the legal system, and may also in some small measure, improve the public’s perceptions of legal process."

 FindLaw's Writ - Hilden: Matt Drudge Versus "K Street"
For example, Matt Drudge, of The Drudge Report, is threatening to sue "K Street" for using his name, the name of his website, and images of his website in one of its episodes.
At the other end of the spectrum, advertising uses are very unlikely to be fair uses (and may trigger "right of publicity" liability as well, as I discussed in an earlier column).
That's a problem for "K Street," which is somewhere in the hazy area between news and entertainment, and thus it is unclear when its uses of copyrighted material count as "fair use."
