...but I posit that (A) since Gless is whom Avedon, Corday & Rosenzweig wanted for the role from the beginning (but couldn't get her, as she was under contract to another series at the time), and (B) since Gless' portrayal of Cagney is most widely associated with the series, this market-testing release of the episodes beginning with Gless as Cagney is appropriate-- and is probably the best success-insuring move for an initial DVD release, if we ever want to see the rest of the series in this form. (And we do, WE DO!)
I think Mr. Barney Rosenzweig knows what he's doing, here. Perhaps the pilot (with Loretta Swit) and the "first" season (with Meg Foster-- dubbed season zero by some) will be released together in some sort of pre-series package down the road, especially for collectors and hard-core fans. But for now, I dare say that the seasons most people want to see are the ones we came to love with Sharon Gless.
Somewhat grainy, yes they are, in this first package. I understand that it's pricey and tedious to clean 25-year-old negatives from a predigital era. I think they look fine, even on my HDTV, and even showing their age the way they do-- I'm just glad to have them at all, preserved in this format, at my fingertips. So hey, they're a great deal online-- you won't be sorry, and buying them will send a message that yes, in fact, we do want to see the rest of this series on DVD!

What can I say? I could bang on here for pages about how good this series was, sorry, is! But I won't.
I enjoyed every minute of it. I am from the UK and ordered from the States as I couldn't wait for June for it to be released here!
Buy it, you won't be disappointed! Great acresses and great stories.
100% Value for money and in this day and age that is very rare!!

"Cagney & Lacey" is my all-time favorite show. I haven't seen it in years, and I've sorely missed it. Now, I have it on DVD, and it's just as good as I remember it being. It's such a great drama with strong female leads who could be tough, but also vulernable. It's also a testament to the value of close friendship. The acting could not be better! Many thanks to Mr. Rosenzweig, Ms. Gless, Ms. Daly, and to everyone else who pushed this DVD release or was involved in its original production. Please keep the DVDs coming! And please don't make us wait too long!

I eagerly opened this set I received today and discovered that the 1st season is a little short. Why would they not include the original episodes with Meg Foster in this supposedly complete first season????? Fans realize there was a cast change, and although Sharon Gless proved to be a great Cagney, I still would have liked to see those earlier episodes. I hope they at least consider releasing them separately. Given how long we had to wait for this release, I think it probably not likely we'll ever see those.

The First Season set of the series is out and it may not be the "original" maybe sometime we can get the Pilot and Original First Season, Still this Set is well worth it. It even contains the ORIGINAL closing card orion title card! I was surprised it wasn't replaced. Little details like that show that someone was thinking about the show form the vantage point of a fan or in my case someone who hasn't seen the show in years in fact barely remembers it! So this show is really good, great writing and great acting from Tyne and Sharon. I hope Fox/ MGM doesn't drop the ball on releasing more seasons in a good time window.
