Overview[]
It's tough being a cop in New York. It's even tougher being a woman to get taken seriously as a cop. But Mary Beth Lacey and Christine Cagney are going to show New York that they got the guts and brains to do the job, no matter what it takes!
Cagney & Lacey was a long-running American produced crime-drama TV series starring Tyne Daly and Sharon Gless. It was highly acclaimed and hugely controversial due to its portrayal of a pair of strong and independent females in the lead roles during its original series run.
Originally debuting as a made-for-TV movie starring Tyne Daly in the role of Mary Beth Lacey and Loretta Swit as Christine Cagney; it garnered sufficient ratings and interest to develop it into a full fledged TV series. However Swit was contractually obligated to continue her role in M*A*S*H and was unable to reprise her role resulting in the casting of Meg Foster in the role. However, CBS television executives and the public disliked her performance, feeling that she was "too aggressive" and "too masculine". The producers threatened cancellation after an aborted first season and demanded that if the series were to continue past the first season that Foster be replaced, resulting in Sharon Gless taking the reigns of Cagney for the rest of the original series run.
Cagney & Lacey would go on to win several Primetime Emmy Awards and Golden Globes and proved popular enough that four sequel made-for-TV movies were made after it was cancelled and there have been potential reboots considered in recent years.
