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. What is it
about “Cagney & Lacey’’ that elicits
such responses?

First of all, “Cagney & Lacey” is
a drama about two women who
happen to be cops. It is the first
reality-based program that honestly
depicts successful working women
and with whom many viewers can
identify. Atypical of other shows,
the title characters in ‘“‘Cagney &
Lacey’ are multi-dimensional.
Cagney & Lacey have their good
viewers watch the show, the more
involved they become. The story-
lines of “Cagney & Lacey” are
relevant ones, ranging from per-
sonal and social issues to actual
police and detection work.
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.
It certainly inspires even more
devotion and enthusiasm among the
many ‘Cagney & Lacey’ support-
ers.
It is ironic that ‘‘Cagney &
Lacey,” the series cancelled twice
by CBS, is also the series that has
twice garnered the most Emmy
nominations for the network.

ing Writing (Patricia M. Green,
Deborah Arakelian), Outstanding
Achievement in Music Composition,
Outstanding Film Editing, and Out-
standing Film Sound Mixing.
The Emmy Awards have not been
the only plaudits given to ‘“‘Cagney
& Lacey” in its brief tenure. The
show and its stars were honored
with the 1984 Broadeasting Award,
and were nominated for the Golden
Globe Awards. Producer-writer
Peter Lefcourt and story editor
Georgia Jeffries were also 1985
nominees, the latter for the Human-
itas Prize, a prestigious award
given by the Human Family Insti-
tute.
Recently, the Viewers for Quality
Television applauded “Cagney &
Lacey” as television's bets drama
series, and Sharon Gless as best
dramatic actress. The editors of TV
Guide selected the series as The
Most Believable, and paid great
tribute to Sharon Gless (Cagney)
and Tyne Daly (Lacey) by referring
to them as ‘‘easily the Best
Actresses around.”
