This week, it is appropriate to feature the dramatic series “Cagney & Lacey.” Two years ago in the fall of 1983, the last episode of the show was supposedly aired on TV. Almost everyone was convinced it was the “last episode,” except for ‘“‘Cagney & Lacey’s” executive producer Barney Rosen- zweig and the show’s loyal fans who participated in a letterwriting campaign that resulted in 10 times the amount of letters protest- ing the cancella- tion of “Lou Grant.”” The avalanche of SHppOTt (240,000 letters received, one letter - 14,000 viewers) caught the media’s attention, and Orion Television's “Cagney & Lacey” made TV history cellations and was eventually rein- stated by the same network. ~ “Cagney & Lacey” is not only testament to the fact that network executives and the Nielsen ratings can be proven wrong, but that television viewers can recognize a fine show when they see one. It now appears that more attention is being directed at the quality of a TV program, such as ‘‘Cagney & Lacey,” rather than the popularity of it. Throughout this tumultuous period of its history, a huge cult following of “Cagney & Lacey” has developed and grown. In fact, some fans defend the show as they would a member of their family.

Secondly, Orion Television, in par- ticular “Cagney & Lacey’ Produc- tions, has been most generous, coop- erative and considerate of its fans. This year Barney Rosenzweig, per- haps his way of reciprocating the loyalty and support given him, decided to have “Cagney & Lacey” fans help him choose the episode to submit for the Emmy nomination in the Best Dramatic Series category. Therefore, he held screenings at a Santa Monica Theater and asked the viewing public to name their favorite. This is, most assuredly, an uncommon gesture in the industry today, and “Cagney & Lacey” Pro- ductions is to be commended for it.
