What do those crazy 90s kids think of 80s Cagney & Lacey? We’re gonna find out!
Susan and Sharon welcome back Serita Fontanesi, Megan Ruble and Sergio Perez – the 90’s TV Babies!
We asked them to watch three episodes: the original one-hour pilot, starring Tyne Daly as Lacey and Loretta Swit as Cagney; the “new” pilot with Meg Foster in the role of Cagney; and finally, Sharon Gless’s first turn as Cagney, the Season Two opener “Witness to an Incident”.
The 90’s TV Babies loved “Scarecrow & Mrs. King”, but two of them DIDN’T love “Remington Steele”. What will their verdict be for “Cagney & Lacey”? And what's their personal connection to this show?

THE CONVERSATION
- The eternal comfort-food pleasure of police procedurals.
- “Ain’t That The Way”: what’s with that amazing original theme song?
- Which Baby liked Loretta Swit the best? And which one loved Meg Foster??
- Is Christine Cagney coded as lesbian? (And what does “coded” mean, anyway?)
- Does Meg Foster have “F@%k Me” eyes?
- Why does Susan want to be “Magnum, P.I.”?!
- Sergio Perez on the heat of “Heat” (Season 4, Episode 2)
- Turns out Serita is friends with (Detective Petrie) Carl Lumbly’s son, Brandon!
- Ripped From The Headlines: Was Cagney & Lacey an “issue show”?
- Harvey Lacey: the revolutionary evolution of Mary Beth Lacey’s Husband, played by John Karlen.
- What is the bar for representation on TV? Has it gotten better since the ’80s? Can you have more than two female leads? Black characters? Can you have racial diversity AND LGBTQ representation in the same show?
