Twenty-two early episodes of the breakthrough television series, Cagney & Lacey, are gathered in this Season 1 pack, though these do not include those with early Cagneys Loretta Swit and Meg Foster. Directed by Karen Arthur, written by a female team, and starring two filmic heroes of the feminist movement--Sharon Gless as Christine Cagney and Tyne Daly as Mary-Beth Lacey--the show pioneered on-screen presentation of independent, working women. With Cagney as the career-minded single woman, and Lacey as the mother/wife juggling job with home time, the two detectives serve as foil characters, the way other cop shows such as ChiPs, Moonlighting, or Charlie's Angels starred police with opposing opinions. But where other shows cast the foxiest people possible, Cagney & Lacey relied on character development instead of sex.
That is not to say that Gless and Daly aren't attractive, for indeed they are. Episodic narratives include Cagney & Lacey fighting female spousal abuse in "A Cry For Help"; date rape in "Date Rape"; racism in "Let Them Eat Pretzels," and many other issues targeted in the consciousness-raising feminist movement of the '70s and '80s. Many of the episodes, compared to the lightning fast-paced cop shows airing today, are slow and surprisingly non-humorous. But regardless of the show's occasional descent into tedium, Cagney & Lacey did much to promote the image of the self-made, multitasking woman. The two-part featurette, "Breaking the Laws of TV," starring heavyweights such as Gloria Steinem, critically places the show in TV history by contextualizing what was happening in the women's movement concurrent to the show's airing. Though the show may have its dull moments, it is fascinating to remember how television has changed over the decades. —Trinie Dalton

Cagney and Lacey proved that women could be anything they wanted to be before it became so newsworthy. Sharon Gless is the third actress to play Christine Cagney and as far as everyone I know thinks the ONLY Cagney. MaryBeth Lacey had a Mr. Mom marriage that worked for them. This is only the first season. I hope that Barney Rosenzweig (Producer of Cagney and Lacey and Sharon Gless' husband) continues to release the other seven seasons.

These six episodes of Cagney & Lacey star Tyne Daly as Lacey and Meg Foster as Cagney. The Pilot movie (starring Tyne Daly and Loretta Swit as Cagney) was such a hit that they quickly produced 6 episodes for a series. The Producer wanted Sharon Gless to play Cagney, but she was under contract to Universal and unavailable. After these 6 episodes were completed the network (CBS) agreed to renew for another season on the condition that Sharon Gless play Cagney. Gless was released from her Universal ... Read More

FINALLY, the Cagney & Lacey series on DVD! I want the rest of the seasons!
The quality of the packaging and programs are excellent.
My only complaint is that the ENTIRE series did not come out as a boxed set.

The mother of a friend of mine worked as a detective in the Bronx (NY). She wasn't a "super cop" or a "super woman" so often splashed across telvision and movie screns. She was very much like the main characters of this show--somebody's mom, somebody's wife. Cagney and Lacey broke ground not only by featuring a team of female cops but by showing them in a realistic light. I was thrilled to find Cagney and Lacey available on DVD. Brava, ladies, and everyone behind this wonderful television drama!

Where have I been, I didnt know this was released out on dvd. This was the best police detective show on next to Charlies Angels which I loved to watch years ago. It was cancelled due to low ratings that suprised me. I was a total fan of this show starring Sharon Gless and Tyne Daly.
Now I own it myself.
