Loam. Soil that is made up of equal parts of clay, sand and silt. It has a crumbly texture that holds both air and water. It is best for growing most types of plants.
However, it was eventually made into a tv movie in 1981, by Barney Rosenzweig (at the time, Corday's husband). Tyne Daly was cast in the role of Mary Beth Lacey, and Loretta Swit played Christine Cagney. High ratings led to the production of the series, which began in 1982. Swit was working on M.A.S.H. and thus unavailable, so Meg Foster was replaced.
4.3 out of 5 stars IMDb 6.8/10. The first season picks up where the original made-for-TV movie left off--with Cagney and Lacey on their first undercover assignment as prostitutes. Other episodes introduce Cagney's father, a retired cop that helps out with a case, investigation of a human smuggling ring, and accusations of racism in the wake of a gang murder.
