If you were a Cagney and Lacey fan then you have probably forgotten the shows, so this is like seeing them all over again for the first time. The tough as nails Cagney and the warm, caring Lacey. It was fun seeing them again.

I think this set is great! I loved the TV show, I used to tape it on Lifetime years ago, when I worked and it was on during the day. I really hope they come out with the rest of the seasons as well. I enjoyed it when they got more involved in the characters life outside of work in the later seasons. More home life, Lacey buying a house, Cagney's alcoholism, and relationship with her father & boyfriends. None of that is in this set, this is truely the beginning. Pretty straight forward police work, some of Lacey, Harvey and the kids, but not much, and it shows the women's interaction with other officers on the force. I like Sharon Gless as the only Cagney in this set. I could not warm up to the other woman who played the character in the first few episodes, I am glad she is not included. Good clean entertainment, not a lot of violence, no gore or bad language. It shows police woman trying to have a career and a private life. Tyne Daly is great as always. I highly recommend this to anyone who enjoyed the series in the 1980's!

I'm giving this only one star because in my opinion this is falsely advertised by the studio releasing the DVDs. The time has come for the government to step in and set down laws for releasing films. I am tired of paying two, three, and four times to see the same film or tv show. First it comes out and scenes are missing. Then it comes out again in a restored version. Then a directors cut. Then again with lost footage found. There needs to be a law passed that once a film is released in the theater THAT is the film. Period. No changes made. THIS IS THE SECOND SEASON OF CAGNEY AND LACEY. The first season started March 25, 1982 with actress MEG FOSTER playing the role of Cagney in the episode called "You Call this Plain Clothes?" and ended after six episodes with the final one being "Better than Equal". What this set contains is season 2 which began October 25, 1982 with the episode "Witness to an Incident" and with Sharon Gless taking over the role of Detective Cagney. Why didn't they just start the dvd release with the actual season one? Why the lie? Also, what about the original pilot movie for Cagney and Lacey that starred Loretta Swit? What happened to that? M*A*S*H* would not let her out of her contract to do the tv series so they got Meg Foster instead. Why wasn't that included on this set as well? I can just see them continuing to release this set and then a few years down the line it will be re-released with the original movie and the actual 1st season with Meg Foster and then viewers will be expected to buy the series all over again. Something needs to be done about this. HOW CAN A STUDIO LEGALLY CALL THE SECOND SEASON THE FIRST SEASON? I don't get it. Also, these are two sided discs which I am not a fan of either. Two sided discs are usually trouble and seem more prone to damage. So far I haven't had trouble with any of the discs. I've watched a few episodes on some of the discs and they played well, but I still don't like two sided discs. What is nice is that they included the little promo teaser that used to run before each episode. A lot of dvd releases omit that but they're included here and that is a nice touch. Also, the Featurette BREAKING THE LAWS OF TV - The Making of Cagney and Lacey was excellent. Gless and Daly are both in it, along with several other major cast members and key production people recalling episodes and their experiences filming the series. I just wish that as long as they had these people on camera, that some commentary tracks could have been produced to accompany some of the episodes.

Fun to see this show again on DVD. Picture quality is very good.

Outstanding! One of the best shows ever on TV. We've waited a long time for this to come out on DVD, and it was worth the wait. Only dated in the technology used by the detectives (typewriters, phones with cords) and the great '80's styles worn by the terrific stars, Tyne Daly and Sharon Gless. Can't wait for Seasons 2-7 to come out!
