* FanPreferredCouple: Many LGBT fans prefers Cagney and Despite the fact that Mary Beth Lacey is HappilyMarried to be paired together rather than each of Harvey, very few fans actually ship her with him online. Instead, most fans ship her with her police partner Christine Cagney. This is mainly due to them having a boyfriend/husband.feeling Mary Beth has better chemistry with Christine and the fact that their partnership is the focus on the plot. In fact, the studio was aware of this potentially happening and tried to repeatedly meddle to prevent it. However, even decades later, Mary Beth/Christine remains basically the only ship in the fandom.

** As mentioned under SocietyMarchesOn above, one 1986 episode revolves around Cagney & Lacey protecting a white South African marathon runner who is facing death threats from anti-apartheid activists. The running theme of Apartheid South Africa has thoroughly dated this episode. It happened relatively quickly, given that only four years after it aired State President F. W. de Klerk released Nelson Mandela from jail and South Africa ultimately returned to majority rule in 1994.

** What we see as regards gender roles (i.e. women being accepted in a traditionally male occupation, but only recently and with occasional misgivings), TheBigRottenApple nature of the New York setting, occasional examples of EightiesHair and fashions, the presence of typewriters and rotary dial phones in the squadroom, etc. date the show to the period it's made.

** Also in comeback feature ''Cagney And Lacey: The Return'' (set in the '90s) has Mary-Beth Lacey trying to find another job (having since retired from the force) when Harvey takes ill and can no longer work; as she doesn't want to return to police-type work[[note]]such as working for Christine Cagney, now investigator for the D.A.[[/note]] a lot of the jobs she tries for are clerical/secretarial work, but she fails at interviews due to lack of computer skills (she's typed plenty of reports, but only on a typewriter). Computers at this point were just becoming ubiquitous and it was still possible to be out of work for just a few years and never have come into regular contact with one.
