Product Description:
“If they gave out Emmys for best book about an Emmy-award winning TV series, Executive Producer Barney Rosenzweig would have another to add to his huge collection. If you love Cagney & Lacey—as I do—this is a must read. Triple love it!” —Rosie O’Donnell, award-winning TV and motion picture icon
“Cagney & Lacey ... and Me is terrific—a must-read for anyone interested in how the television business really works. From insecure stars with over-sized egos, to network executives blundering their way to success in spite of themselves, Barney Rosenzweig’s chronicle of the rise and fall of the hit series Cagney & Lacey has it all: tempers, tears, greed, deceit, duplicity and sex—in short, more juicy melodrama than a daytime soap opera.”—Steven Bochco, producer writer of award-winning series Hill Street Blues, LA Law, and NYPD Blue
“One of Hollywood’s greatest producers is also a brilliant storyteller. Barney recounts tales from the front lines of network television battlefields—with candor, intelligence and inimitable wit. If you want to know how television really works, this is the book for you”—Linda Bloodworth and Harry Thomason, award-winning creators, writer, producers and director of Designing Women
"It is the nuts-and-bolts story of creating the show, putting it on the air, then keeping it on the air. Fascinating and fun."—Liz Smith, America's most loved gossip columnist
“Barney wrote a book?”—Peter Falk, Emmy-winning star of iconic television series, Columbo, and twice nominated Academy Award star of motion pictures too numerous to mention
"Just as William Goldman’s Adventures in the Screen Trade is considered a bible for screenwriters, Rosenzweig’s new memoir offers a Master Class for television producers."—Kevin Howell, Publisher's Weekly
Hardcover Collector's Edition also contains the official Cagney & Lacey "bible" of key credits and storylines for all 125 episodes, along with annotated index.

To be fair, what I purchased ended up being an "uncorrected proof advanced reader copy" that had footnotes on nearly every single page, which was absolutely distracting and positively maddening. That aside, it took me nearly a month to get through this book (and I usually read from cover to cover in one night). I just didn't find it that interesting. I loved (and still do) the series, the actresses, the storylines, but the telling of this story left me cold. I probably would have preferred not ... Read More

Barney Rosenzweig's memoirs of the 1980s are long on industry detail and short on self-examination, but that's Hollywood for you.
CAGNEY AND LACEY was credited as being the first big feminist TV show and it was hailed as such by Gloria Steinem and other pundits in the pages of MS. Magazine.
Rosenzweig was there from the beginning, after a checkered and mostly D-level career as a producer and sort of go-fer for more famous producers. He had worked his way up to a midlevel ... Read More

When I first found out that Barney Rosenzweig wrote this book I just had to have it. I loved the entire Cagney & Lacey series from start to finish including all the movies they did later. What stuff Barney Rosenzweig went through to get that show on the air. It was very interesting to read how much work is involved in getting a TV show on the air - especially a show that was cancelled and then brought back. I would higly recommend this book to any Cagney & Lacey fan. For that matter, to anyone who ... Read More

I loved this book! Even if you never watched Cagney & Lacey you will find the inside workings of getting and keeping a television show on the air fascinating. A true page turner for anyone into the behind the scenes of Hollywood. Temper tantrums, egos, sex and politics. It's all in there. Mr. Rosenzweig should have a real hit on his hands (once again) with this one.
Enjoy!

I feel like I know Barney Rosenzweig better than ever! What a tremendous loyalty to this show he had - unlike anything seen today. Cagney & Lacey & Me is a marvelous history of possibly the greatest TV show ever made. Thank you, Barney, for putting it all on paper. And getting the blonde, too - how lucky can you get?!?!
