Episode 23 - Who ever thought we’d get this far?!?

Susan and Sharon celebrate their first season finale with a wrap-up on “Cagney & Lacey.” How did a little idea about having a female “Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid” buddy movie turn into a legendary, award-winning TV series that spanned 7 seasons, 125 episodes and 4 TV movies?

We discuss the show’s origins and controversies, its impact on American culture in the 1980s and how network television used to be the most powerful way for cutting-edge topics to enter the public conversation. Susan and Sharon also share their favorite episodes, scenes and their big love for John Karlen’s Harvey Lacey – the best TV husband ever!

THE CONVERSATION
  • How Sharon Gless replaced Lynn Redgrave on “Housecalls” before replacing Meg Foster on “Cagney & Lacey”.
  • Was “Housecalls” a love connection for Sharon Gless and co-star, MASH alum Wayne Rogers?
  • How did Cagney & Lacey reflect the real-world challenges of female cops in the 80s?
  • The night Cagney & Lacey taught America about… microwave ovens?
  • “Buckle Up, Christine!” - how a nation of police officers – and Mary Beth Lacey – finally got Cagney to click that seatbelt.
  • The complicated, behind-the-scenes affairs on-set between the show creator, the cinematographer and one of the stars!
  • That Emmy-winning scene from “Turn, Turn, Turn: Part Two” (Season 6, Episode 22)
  • Tyne Daly or Sharon Gless – who was number one on the call sheet, whose name came first in the credits -- and what does it all mean…
  • So join Susan and Sharon as they talk cigarettes, lottery tickets -- and undercover nuns!
PLUS – Special Guest: Amy Engelhardt, the composer of the 80’s TV Ladies Theme Song!

AND -- 80’s TV Ladies wishes you all a very HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY – with a special shout-out to a great episode of “Golden Girls”: Season 3, Episode 25 – “Mother’s Day”
