Answer your own quesiton, is the show aware of the download, and/or are they getting any royalties from it. It is a resounding no. So, yes it would be illegal.

Downloading TV shows or watching them online without a paid subscription is very illegal. The best thing to do is to buy them from Amazon Instant Video, Hulu Plus, or Itunes.
Downloading currently-in-theater movies is illegal (technically), but sites like Hulu.com allow you to watch various TV shows and older movies, for free. The most popular "illegal movie" sites are Movie2k . com, and Watch-Movies-Links . net
Have you purchased the TV show online (from a legal website) ? If not: have you uploaded as well as downloaded the series ? If yes: do you live in the U.S. ? And if you live in the U.S. and have no permission from the people who own the show it MAY be the case that it is illegal. In other countries (for example the Netherlands), downloading a TV show is legal; uploading is not.
