Cagney & Lacey Q&A

[@judithsturm5021]

I retired 2 months before Covid and discovered Cagney and Lacey. They helped "save" me during lock-down! Admired the show, the stars and the entire cast!

[@georgiahogue8588]

I agree. I recently found all the episodes on KZbin and binge watched the entire thing. Best show around.

[@birgitschuster3481]

Hier kann ich zustimmen. Mit den Beiden kam ich auch über die Covid Zeit. Und ich stellte fest, dass Cagney und Lacey für mich die beste Serie aller Zeiten ist

[@Drcmdavis]

Barney Rosensweig’s genius is well revealed in this interview. We owe him a debt of gratitude.

[@nspector]

Yes. Unusual person.

[@nygrrl99]

Two very talented actors and Cagney and Lacey was and still is a fantastic show. I'm watching the DVDS now! Lol

[@RioBow]

One of the greatest television series of all time. Way way ahead of it's time. I remember to this day when the show was saved and the anticipation of Sharon Gless comming on board. But when the new theme tune hit my ears, wow what a theme tune. Winner in every sense and yes magic is the word. Magic casting, not just the leads but the ensemble casting as well. The music is so so so important. Lighting in a bottle.

[@TitanFind]

I made a case in a college essay once that Cagney and Lacey was the greatest TV theme tune of all time.

[@taylordowning2533]

This was a great show and still is. I recently rediscovered it. I love their friendship.

[@b1ueocean]

Mary-Beth Lacey is one of the nicest women ever portrayed on TV - extraordinary kindness, consideration, tenacity, honesty and in essence, confidence. Just watched four seasons of this thing back to back and am blown away by Mary-Beth and therefore Tyne.

[@anaidlg504]

Watching in 3/2021 on Smart TV!! I was 25 when the series started now going on 64 and the actresses and show itself still tugs at my heart. Thank you all.

[@birgitschuster3481]

👍

[@louiseanderson1505]

I never missed an episode of Cagney and Lacey. One of my all time favourite shows, from the theme tune, which I have to this day as my ringtone on my phone, to the characters Mary Beth, Christine, Harvey, Charlie and Lt. Bert Samuels. Excellent tv series.

[@TheBabe61]

I have the ringtone also, I was 22 when the show started

[@birgitschuster3481]

​@@TheBabe61den Klingelton habe ich auch, ich liebe diese Serie. Viele Grüße aus Deutschland

[@joanie3452]

Absolute legends.

[@kimphuong3556]

I love this interview, these two Legendary Hollywood Classy performers Were OUTSTANDING as Cagney and Lacey, They had a uniqueness in their roles and great chemistry together, when you have a BRILLIANT Executive Director, two OUTSTANDING Hollywood Superstars with Incredible talent, great Supporting cast, you already have an ultimate WINNER. Cagney and Lacey will FOREVER be part of television history, long Live Cagney and Lacey FOREVER.

[@arianapuzzo7827]

The part about chemistry is so spot-on. Nothing impresses me quite like when a casting director just GETS it.

[@zoolook3264]

What a brilliant show that was. I watched it as a kid, i'm 44 and still enjoy it.

[@melodiefrances3898]

The chemistry was absolutely there. Very interesting to hear them talk about it ...

[@frisco21]

Tyne Daly and Sharon Gless had terrific chemistry in the show, and the rest of the ensemble cast was excellent, too. At a time when the theme music accompanying a show's opening credits was seen as a critical component of the show, Cagney & Lacey's was among the best. Does anyone remember Sharon Gless's cameo appearance in Judging Amy, Daly's last TV show? In a nifty piece of dialogue, Daly said to Gless "You never write, you never call," an obvious shout-out to fans of C & L.

[@sallymiller1359]

I remember, loved everything these ladies did, pure class and A1acting I rarely see today

[@alexisnewell3672]

❤❤ Yes Love Sharon n Tyne legends 😍😍😍😍

[@TitanFind]

One of the two great American social realism shows of the 80s (the other being Hill Street Blues).

[@victoriastith2057]

Hill Street Blues along with Cagney & Lacey were my favorites as well.

[@charlottesmith88]

My favorite series of all time

[@louiseanderson1505]

My absolute favourites too.

[@lynnpizza1653]

that was a great show. Tyne and Sharon had great chemistry. wish it was still on the air

[@Kaz741]

My favourite all time show ❤ they are amazing 👏

[@CSAcitizen]

And the series is still on (2019) - on Start TV at 5 PM daily. Love that series ! It's always been a favorite of us out here. Still is !

[@tonynegron1927]

😊 Me too. It's still on startTV & I'm watching.

[@christinegelabert1651]

I love this interview and as someone who has several female and male relatives who are now retired...I can say they told me this was very accurate and not too overtly dramatized. ALL of them were NYPD... including brass. 😉💜😎

[@emailrgt]

A television show still without equal. From serious comment to comedy timing, what shows still to this day is superb acting.

[@oliver4elio87]

Damn.i missed this Q&A. Wonderful seeing Tyne and Sharon reunited discussing their awesome show.

[@keogh1969]

MR R. Thankyou for your work, vision and determination on this show. It inspired me to be a Police Officer. God Bless You

[@Rtorresc4v]

TV like this will never come back again...the best years....

[@CSAcitizen]

Cagney & Lacey series is on TV right now (2019) on Start TV at 5 PM daily. Love that series !

[@heavensnewestangel]

They may not have realized the chemistry between each other, but you can see it when watching cagney and lace...I've watched the movie and season 1 and Loretta Swit and Meg Foster didn't seem to have the same on screen chemistry with Tyne Daly like Sharon Gless did.

[@jack69ist]

Damn,I miss this .Its great to both ladies together to discuss such a iconic 80's show. It would have been good if the other cast members were there too.

Two ladie,s who have aged gracefully without, the plastic surgeryof most prominent actors/actreses..

[@bigred8432]

We don’t know that but yes they look fantastic

[@joegreen5714]

Lady as in XY or lady as in XX in a dress who has been presented to me as a lady on TV?

[@denisespurlock7869]

@@bigred8432 Two beautiful women indeed.

[@joannoriol6444]

I think they did not have plastic surgery because they look exactly as they did, but only older and aged. I think they look great!

[@ricardogarcia5080]

I saw one episode and still amazed at how I missed this show,where was i? lol lol

[@T2NDC]

thanks for this :)/ i loved this show, very interesting too to learn the specific and deliberate gender politics behind it all (of which i am very supportive)// though on watching it: i still prefer to dive into the good drama and rich character portrayals than think about the machine behind it !!!

[@ericoxner326]

I was a kid when this show was new.Despite the fact it aired kinda late at nite.Well kinda late for me anyway.I liked the show very much.

[@jennt7573]

I loved the ones where they dressed up as fruits it was hilarious

[@reasonrestored9116]

It is interesting that the chemistry between the two actresses was palpable and so strong that I don’t remember the press ever doing their usual thing setting up two women as rivals and even enemies.

[@survivor648]

If they had social media during Cagney and Lacey all the women with girl crushes would have been all over Sharon!

[@melodiefrances3898]

We were anyway lol

[@teutguy1]

ROCK SOLID SHOW!!!

[@birgitschuster3481]

The interview session can also be found in detail with corresponding scene excerpts on the Koch Media box on the CD of the 6th season.

[@victoriagraham6470]

Loved the show❤

[@kathypetersen4694]

I loved that game show episode. I thought was very funny. Ha

Tyne Daly and the great drummer Steve Gadd are converging as they age

[@AyeWitness]

Where’s all of this interview please

[@florenceguinchard8298]

Moi je connais personnellement Sharon gless, c 'est normal car c 'est ma demi-soeur, j 'ai même travaillé avec elle à la 14 ieme brigade et Tyne Daly ( Christine et Marie Beth.) Et je peux vous dire que je ne parle pas un mot d 'Anglais et elle m 'on appris leur langage et c 'était dur, j'ai donné un coup de main à Christine et sa collègue pour les enquêtes et leurs collègues de la brigade sont super sympas. Mais quelques fois Chris et moi on s 'appelle sur WathsApp, on communique bien ensemble. Je l 'ai aussi beaucoup aidé quand elle a perdu Charlie,même quand elle buvait, car je ne voulais pas ça me fais trop de peine.J 'en ai même pleuré, heureusement que moi et Marie Beth nous lui avons dit de faire une cure de désintoxication et ça, ça la sauver, et tant mieux.

[@dianaAthemiscyra]

They forgot to mention that Meg Foster who portrayed Cagney in the 1982 season.

[@abemagic10]

they skirted over it - i think - because it was too complicated to get into in the brief period of time - If they talk about her without her there to speak for herself, it would have been in bad form

[@PFloyd-px7hm]

I loved the show but knowing Sharon and Barney we're having an affair stays on my mind when I think about it.

[@chlobosumm4]

Ms. Floyd ?

[@judyosborne]

After witnessing Barney at various C&L events and hearing him speak about Sharon when asked a question about her, his face would light up like a Christmas tree. It was obvious to me (but unknown to him at the time) he was falling in love with her long before they had an affair. I'm thrilled they later married. Please don't judge them poorly. After seeing Barney & Barbara Corday (his former wife) together, I don’t believe Sharon was the reason for Barney’s breakup of his former marriage.

[@ellioshiem7892]

great show. they don't make them like that anymore......

[@mikeypatterson7966]

They remain for us gay men in the work place, too.

[@JhLee-i9g]

They dont say anything about meg foster

[@depravedmonk1]

Bro got kicked by the OG detective Cagney

[@carolburke9153]

How sad the years have rolled bye. . Time waits for no man !

[@hectorlopez8555]

Dad me you was the best

[@rosalyngomillion]

Why? They should switch seats, and Sharon should sit next to her husband. odd seating arrangement. you think. Sharon and Tyne, always wear the same clothes. Why?

[@TheLolacat1]

The haircut and big glasses look horrible on Sharon Gless.😳... She looks like Sally Jessy Raphael. Not saying S.J.R. isn't a pretty woman, just kinda sad to see this change in S.G.

[@victormalhou6083]

Beautiful this pretty Cagney and Lacey Tyne Daly, Sharon Gless with many more love you Anabela Malhou Deaf...?? See how much you need to get become l what needs everything you women speeches wish you had everything else to say friends.

[@littlecasino60]

I wonder why they didn't mention Meg Foster who played Cagney in the first few episodes before Sharon Gless came onboard. Although I read they got rid of her because Tyne and Meg looked too much like butch lesbians and they wanted someone more feminine. That's probably why they didn't bring that up.

[@captainmarvel1204]

Meg Foster as Cagney!!😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 the real Cagney!!
