Cagney and Lacey is an American television series that first aired on the CBS television network for seven seasons from March 25, 1982 to May 16, 1988.
A police procedural, the show starred Sharon Gless and Tyne Daly as New York City police detectives who led very different lives: Christine Cagney was a single, career-minded woman, while Mary Beth Lacey was a married working mother.
Following its first full season, Cagney and Lacey was canceled by CBS in 1983 due to unimpressive ratings, but was subsequently brought back to the network's schedule after fans of the show, organized by executive producer Barney Rosenzweig, staged a letter-writing campaign.
TV Guide celebrated the Cagney and Lacey's return with the cover reading "Welcome Back". The show finished in the top 10 for the 1983–84 season, and went on to earn 36 Emmy Award nominations and 14 wins throughout its run until 1988, including six nominations for stars Daly and Gless: four wins for Daly and two for Gless.
Cagney and Lacey itself won two consecutive Emmy Awards for Best Drama Series in 1985 and 1986.
Cagney and Lacey also gained considerable popularity internationally. It was originally shown in the UK on BBC1 where it regularly made the top 20.
