Context Trivia / CagneyAndLacey

Go To

1* ChannelHop: Production Company Hop, in this case. The pilot film and the first season were produced by Creator/{{Filmways}} ([[PlayingAgainstType yes, that Filmways]]); the young Creator/OrionPictures subsequently bought them, and they took over production of the rest of the show; the reunion telefilms were produced directly by creator Barney Rosenzweig, as by that point Orion had gone bankrupt. Creator/{{MGM}} owns the rights to the series now due to their buyout of Orion in 1998.
2* DirectedByCastMember: Creator/AlWaxman, who played Lt. Bert Samuels, also directed episodes "Lost and Found", "Entrapment", "DWI", "Cost of Living", "Favors", and "Button, Button".
3* MissingEpisode: When it started rerunning ''Cagney & Lacey'', Creator/{{Lifetime}} omitted the first season episodes featuring Creator/MegFoster as Cagney. The first DVD release likewise labeled the second season (featuring Sharon Gless as Cagney) as the first season.
4* TheOtherDarrin: Creator/LorettaSwit played Cagney in the PilotMovie, but wasn't available for the series due to her commitment to ''Series/{{MASH}}''. Creator/MegFoster played her for the first season before being replaced by Creator/SharonGless, who played her for the rest of the run.
5* UnCanceled: Became this thanks to a letter-writing campaign.
6* WhatCouldHaveBeen: A reboot pilot was ordered by CBS in 2018 with [[Series/GreysAnatomy Sarah Drew]] and [[Series/{{Blindspot}} Michelle Hurd]] in the lead roles, with Creator/VingRhames co-starring; CBS ultimately passed on the project.
