TV

Cagney and Lacey were a female crime-fighting duo working in a man's world. They were tough talking, did not take any crap from anyone and got the job done.

Though they did not invent the idea of women police officers, it was still somewhat of a novelty to see this on TV in the early 1980s and the public ate it up. 'Cagney and Lacey' spanned a total of six years on the air and Tyne Daly won a total of four Emmys and Sharon Gless won two.
