Cagney and Lacey - S2E17

About this episode

The episode discusses the impact of 'Cagney and Lacey' as a pioneering show featuring female police detectives.

Our final show before our Summer Hiatus is Cagney and Lacey! Two women New York police detectives holding their own in what many would say is a man's world. The show was ahead of its time in several ways and showed what can be done when we break glass ceilings for characters typically relegated to the sidelines. We are taking our Summer break to give our hosts some much needed relaxation time with plans to come back just after Labor Day in September. We can't wait to get back with you, but if you're looking for something to listen to in the meantime, be sure to checkout: 24FPS Presents ... (Stephen and Travis) Wait, You Haven't Seen!?
