Okay, I don't know if anyone else has mentioned or noticed this, but I was just on NetFlix checking out their free trial. You can rent DVDs of TV series, so I typed in Criminal Intent thinking they would bring up the three seasons already out. Well, you can imagine my surprise when it popped up that you can get Season 6 for rental. So I typed in just Law and Order and Season 4 and 5 came up as well. I know on Netflix you can get movie downloads on your computer so I thought it might be that, but the icon photo looks like the ones the use for the actual DVD sets. So why does Netflix have access to these DVDs, but not the general public?
I'm a registerd netflix-er and I noticed that. However, I think when you click on the link it tells you "Release Date Unknown, Availability Not Guarenteed".
So, no worries, Netflix is not hoarding the DVDs from us as a part of an evil plan by the Peacock network.
Also, you can download episodes from seasons 1-5 to watch.
