bullet::::- "cagney & lacey" (1982–88) revolved around two female nypd detectives who led very different lives. christine cagney, played by sharon gless, was a single-minded, witty, brash career woman. mary beth lacey was a resourceful, sensitive working mom. loretta swit was the original choice for cagney [she played the role in a tv movie] however she couldn't get out of her contract on "m*a*s*h". during the first season, meg foster played the part of cagney, while tyne daly played lacey, the role she had originated in the pilot. cbs canceled the series claiming low ratings. it was brought back due both to a letter-writing campaign which drew millions of letters nationwide and because the ratings went "up" during summer reruns. a "tv guide" magazine read "welcome back". daly continued as lacey, but foster was replaced with gless, who would become the actress most identified with the part. it had 36 nominations and 14 wins during its run. four tv movies were broadcast after the series ended.
