Movie Reviews of Cagney & Lacey - Season 1(The Complete First Season)
Movie Review: Next season DVD please!
Summary: 5 Stars
This show stars Sharon Gless and Tyne Daly as "Cagney and Lacey". A series about the partnership and the individual lives of two New York City police officers, one of whom is happily married with children, and the other who is happily single, working together as detectives at the 14th precinct. This show was well written and well acted (as in Emmy award winning). This DVD is from their first season as the detective duo with all 22 episodes and it includes an extra bonus two part featurette. It's a really great season and the shows all hold up well even today, but in my opinion; it became even better as the series went along through the seasons. I was only 12 when it first aired and I would watch with my mom. My mom, my best friend, and I all own this DVD so we are truly hoping that the whole series will be released. This is a classic series and it deserves to be treated as such. I do wish to add as I'm a working mom I appreciate Ms. Daly's portrayal of Mary Beth Lacey..... It's a 5 star show with great acting by the leads who you can tell are truly friends forever! This is a must have DVD!
PS I hope MGM soon releases the next seasons of this great series. When the complete series or the subsequent season(s) are released we will buy.
Summary of Cagney & Lacey - Season 1(The Complete First Season)
Two female NYPD detectives with opposite personalities cooperate in their professional and personal lives.Genre: Television
Rating: NR
Release Date: 8-MAY-2007
Media Type: DVD
Twenty-two early episodes of the breakthrough television series, Cagney & Lacey, are gathered in this Season 1 pack, though these do not include those with early Cagneys Loretta Swit and Meg Foster. Directed by Karen Arthur, written by a female team, and starring two filmic heroes of the feminist movement--Sharon Gless as Christine Cagney and Tyne Daly as Mary-Beth Lacey--the show pioneered on-screen presentation of independent, working women. With Cagney as the career-minded single woman, and Lacey as the mother/wife juggling job with home time, the two detectives serve as foil characters, the way other cop shows such as ChiPs, Moonlighting, or Charlie's Angels starred police with opposing opinions. But where other shows cast the foxiest people possible, Cagney & Lacey relied on character development instead of sex.
That is not to say that Gless and Daly aren't attractive, for indeed they are. Episodic narratives include Cagney & Lacey fighting female spousal abuse in "A Cry For Help"; date rape in "Date Rape"; racism in "Let Them Eat Pretzels," and many other issues targeted in the consciousness-raising feminist movement of the '70s and '80s. Many of the episodes, compared to the lightning fast-paced cop shows airing today, are slow and surprisingly non-humorous. But regardless of the show's occasional descent into tedium, Cagney & Lacey did much to promote the image of the self-made, multitasking woman. The two-part featurette, "Breaking the Laws of TV," starring heavyweights such as Gloria Steinem, critically places the show in TV history by contextualizing what was happening in the women's movement concurrent to the show's airing. Though the show may have its dull moments, it is fascinating to remember how television has changed over the decades. -Trinie Dalton
