I remember\u00a0that a cable channel (in the U.S.)\u00a0showed one of my\u00a0all-time favorite police shows a few years ago. The channel aired the shows every weekday, at the same time, and I had my VCR programmed to get every last one of those shows&#8230; Now I&#8217;m sorry that I didn&#8217;t keep the\u00a0VHS tapes. (Of course, I would have had to keep our VCR hooked up!)<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/exec\/obidos\/ASIN\/B000NDEXO8\/ref=nosim\/httpwwwmarkes-20\"><strong><em>Cagney &amp; Lacey<\/em><\/strong><\/a>&#8221; is one of the shows that I remember most fondly. I absolutely loved the comradeship of the two women&#8230; and I also loved how different they were. Sharon Gless (Christine <strong>Cagney<\/strong>) <strong>and<\/strong>\u00a0Tyne Daly\u00a0(Mary Beth <strong>Lacey<\/strong>) could not have been better cast as these two diverse women. (Sharon Gless replaced Meg Foster&#8230; and even Loretta Switt in the role!) Cagney was the wise-cracking, brutally frank police officer&#8230;. single, with a private life that could not have been messier. Lacey, on the other hand, was the\u00a0police woman\u00a0who had to use tact to gloss over Cagney&#8217;s (almost) bull-headed ways&#8230;. She was married, with a very loving husband and children.<\/p>\n<p>By the time the show aired I had already graduated from college, and had held jobs in the work force&#8230; But, my jobs didn&#8217;t have anything in common with the jobs that these two police officers had&#8230; They were tough women who always caught their man (or woman&#8230; whoever the culprit happened to be!) And, back in the early 1980s, I don&#8217;t remember a whole lot of shows where the two lead characters were women&#8230;. and tough and smart at that!<\/p>\n<p>If you would like to see more <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cozy-mystery.com\/tv-movies-dvds\/Cozy-Mystery-TV-and-Movies.html\">TV and Movies<\/a> suggestions, click here.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was just trying to\u00a0think of some\u00a0shows that I really enjoyed watching.\u00a0Some of the shows stand out more than others.
