I loved this show when it was on in the UK. Seeing Ed Asner in Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip recently reminded me. I think I have found a place to buy the DVDs (apparently region-coding free)here: http://www.dvddonkey.com/movie/drama/Lou_Grant.html, but not sure about this site. Anyone bought these? Why aren't they on Amazon I wonder?

thanks for the tip...i went for it! Let you know how it works out...i haven't watched tv in years, but i have very fond memories of this show...execution at the highest level, and great character writing
thanks again...
I've been downloading Lou Grant episodes on Itunes, 2 bucks each. This looks like the way I will get episodes of my fav TV shows in the future, I don't have to commit to some hundred-dollar DVD collection, I can just check em out one at a time. Much better budgeting option.
The files are VERY big, about 500 meg/episode, so high-speed connection needed. But the quality is excellent, I didn't know QuickTime movies could look so good.
Lou Grant is definitely one of those shows I thought I'd never see again, as I recall it was cancelled because of its "controversial" and "subversive" subject matter. It's just a bit dated of course, but its amazing writing, acting, and topics are timeless.
