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
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”
Thank you all so much for joining us on our journey through Season One of 80’s TV Ladies. We’ll be back in two weeks with Episode One of Season Two – and we can’t wait to see you there!

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!
