A police procedural, the show starred Sharon Gless and Tyne Daly as New York City police detectives who led very different lives : Christine Cagney ( Gless ) was a career - minded single woman, while Mary Beth Lacey ( Daly ) was a married working mother. The series was set in a fictionalized version of Manhattan 's 14th Precinct ( known as `` Midtown South '' ). For six consecutive years, one of the two lead actresses won the Emmy for Best Lead Actress in a Drama ( four wins for Daly, two for Gless ), a winning streak matched only once since in any major category by a show.

After learning through Haskell that there had never been a female buddy film, Rosenzweig sought to make one, a comedy initially titled Newman & Redford ( before changing the title for legal reasons ). Corday & Barbara Avedon wrote the script. No studio wanted to make the film, so Corday considered taking it to television. Rosenzweig took the script, removed the main plot ( leaving only the character development ), and took it to all networks, but only CBS picked it up. Original cast Actress Loretta Swit played the role of Christine Cagney in the original television movie ( October 1981 ), but she was forced to decline the role in the series when the producers of M * A * S * H refused to let her out of her contract. The movie was then picked up as a series, first airing with six episodes as a midseason replacement in the spring of 1982, with Meg Foster playing the role of Cagney. The show was then picked up for a regular season beginning with the 1982 -- 83 season, but Foster was then replaced by Sharon Gless because CBS deemed Foster too aggressive and too likely to be perceived as a lesbian by the viewers. CBS executives hoped Gless would portray Cagney as more conventionally `` feminine '' and attempted to pressure the producers to remake Christine into a more `` high - class '', snobbish woman from wealthy parents. Barney Rosenzweig and Barbara Corday initially refused to change Christine Cagney from a tough, witty, working - class woman. Shortly into Gless 's tenure on the program, Rosenzweig and Corday compromised with the network brass. They further developed Cagney 's background, explaining gradually in a loose storyline that she may have been born to a somewhat well - to - do professional mother, who had a relationship with police officer Charles Cagney who came from working - class roots. Charles and Maureen soon separated after Christine and her brother Brian were born. She was partially raised in an uptown Westchester world, which she appreciated ; however, the trappings of the upper - middle social strata sometimes drove her to miss her father 's lifestyle, and she and her father therefore established a special bond. Cagney was a bit quieter and more reserved than her vivacious, talkative, loud partner Mary Beth Lacey, but could still relate to the world with attitudes that could be shared by people across the social spectrum. Synopsis Main article : List of Cagney & Lacey episodes Al Waxman co-starred as Cagney and Lacey 's good - natured and sometimes blustery supervisor, Lt. Bert Samuels. Carl Lumbly and Martin Kove played, respectively, fellow detectives Marcus Petrie and Victor Isbecki. Sidney Clute played veteran detective Paul La Guardia. John Karlen co-starred as Mary Beth 's husband, Harvey Lacey, and Tony La Torre and Troy Slaten played their sons, Harvey Lacey, Jr. and Michael Lacey, respectively. Harvey Atkin played desk sergeant Ronald Coleman. Jason Bernard originally had the recurring role of Deputy Inspector Marquette during the first two seasons. When the show was brought back in March 1984 following its second cancellation, Marquette had been replaced by Dep. Inspector Knelman ( Michael Fairman ), who lasted the duration of the series. In the fourth season, Christine entered into a relationship with Sgt. Dory McKenna ( Barry Primus ), who battled a drug addiction. After a tumultuous courtship, Christine left him and soon after took up with a more stable suitor, David Keeler ( Stephen Macht ), a local attorney. One of the most significant cast changes occurred early in the fifth season, upon the death of Sidney Clute in October 1985. Off screen, Det. LaGuardia had retired from the 14th Precinct and had moved to New Jersey with a new female companion less than half his age. Clute had completed filming a few episodes of the 1985 -- 86 season prior to his death. In his honor, the producers kept Clute 's name in the opening credits for the rest of the series. LaGuardia 's immediate replacement in the fifth season was Det. Jonah Newman ( Dan Shor ), a boyish ingenue with an elevated sense of himself. Newman, while popular with the guys, was not above stepping on anyone in order to get the coveted promotion of Detective Second Grade. As a result, Chris and Mary Beth had to force a strained relationship with him at best. Newman developed a crush on Chris but she never knew. Eventually, Newman was partnered with veteran Al Corassa ( Paul Mantee ), who became a regular midway through season five ( Mantee had made three guest appearances in late 1985, in which his character 's name was Det. Thomas in the first two episodes, and Corassa in the third ) and officially took up the role of experience that LaGuardia had vacated. Their partnership met a sad end in May 1986, when Newman was killed from a random gunshot outside of the local district court, just after receiving his promotion to Second Grade. The beginning of the sixth season saw the arrival of Manny Esposito ( Robert Hegyes ), a young, street - savvy detective who became Corassa 's new partner. There was quite a clash between the two, as Esposito 's freewheeling lifestyle ( represented by his casual dress on the job, the desire to make a quick buck, and three ex-wives ) put him in contrast with Corassa, the older, more conservative family man with a heightened sense of professionalism. Supporting characters added to the precinct at this time were rookie Officer Tom Basil ( Barry Laws ) and Officer Beverley Faverty ( Beverley Faverty ). The following year, Petrie was promoted to sergeant and then departed the 14th Precinct ( Carl Lumbly had decided to leave the series ). In his place, singer Merry Clayton joined the cast as Verna Dee Jordan, the first new female detective at the precinct since the additions of Cagney and Lacey. Jordan had joined law enforcement in middle age to better herself, after having been a single mother raising four children ( now grown ) on welfare. Dick O'Neill played a recurring role as Cagney 's alcoholic father, Charlie Cagney, a former NYPD officer who regaled her with stories of the old days ; Christine later fought alcoholism as well. In the fourth season, Mary Beth becomes pregnant ; she and Harvey welcome in a baby daughter, Alice, in the fall of 1985. Alice Lacey was played by alternating twins Dana & Paige Bardolph from 1985 to 1987, with toddler Michelle Sepe taking over for the seventh season. Cancellation and return Cagney & Lacey premiered in March 1982 with high hopes from the industry, in the wake of the TV movie. Reviews of the series, however, with Meg Foster in place of Loretta Swit, were mixed. Critics praised the level of storytelling, but put emphasis on the aggressiveness that both Daly and Foster expressed with their characters. As soon as the six episode order was finished in late April, CBS canceled the program due to poor ratings. Executive producer Barney Rosenzweig was determined to reverse the network 's decision. Gless had been initially unavailable for the movie and series, which were produced by Orion, because of her long - running contract to Universal Television ( she was the last actress ever to be signed to a long - term contract with a studio, in 1972 ). Gless was even actively utilizing her Universal contract at the time the series went into production, having taken over as female lead ( from Lynn Redgrave who left the series in a dispute with producers ) on the CBS sitcom House Calls. However, rumors were also rampant that House Calls was getting the axe that spring. Prior to the unveiling of that year 's network upfronts, a CBS executive noted to the press that the cancellation of Cagney & Lacey was highly motivated by the jarringly tough nature of the female leads as well as low ratings. The official claimed in response to the strong portrayal of Daly and Foster that `` we 've perceived them as dykes. '' This remark set off massive protest, and put Rosenzweig into high gear in his dealings with CBS. The cancellation of House Calls was announced among insider circles just before upfronts, and Rosenzweig pressured CBS executives to relaunch Cagney & Lacey in the fall with Gless replacing Foster. Gless met with Cagney & Lacey producers again to consider the role, but while always having taken to the character, had doubts about joining for the fall of 1982 because, after House Calls, she `` did n't want to make a career of replacing actresses. '' Ratings, however, were still low during the first year Daly and Gless co-starred on the series. Cagney & Lacey was canceled by CBS a second time in May 1983, but after almost a year of decreased buzz about the show, an ever - larger public outcry exploded upon the series 's axing. Fans of the show, organized by Rosenzweig, staged a letter - writing campaign. At the same time, CBS switched its time slot for what was to have been its final three months on the air during summer reruns. This relocation resulted in the ratings suddenly rising. The viewer protest, coupled with the post-cancellation improvement in the Nielsens and the Emmy nomination that year ( which Tyne Daly won in September ), resulted in success for the public. That fall, CBS announced the return of Cagney & Lacey as a mid-season entry. The network would have wanted to return it sooner, but not long after the second cancelation came to pass, the sets at Orion had already been destroyed, and the cast had been let out of their contracts. One cast member, Tony La Torre, had already joined another series, the ABC sitcom 9 to 5. When nearly all of the Cagney & Lacey cast received new contracts in late 1983, La Torre returned as well after 9 to 5 was canceled by ABC just weeks into the 1983 -- 84 season. Cagney & Lacey went back into production in January 1984 and returned to air on March 19 of that year. TV Guide celebrated the show 's return with the cover reading `` Welcome Back, Cagney & Lacey -- You want them ! You 've got them ! ''. The show finished in the top 10 for the 1983 -- 84 season, and went on to earn 36 Emmy Award nominations and 14 wins throughout its run until 1988, including six nominations for stars Daly and Gless : four wins for Daly and two for Gless. The series itself won two consecutive Emmy Awards for Best Drama Series in 1985 and 1986. The show 's ratings leveled out to where it hovered around 30th place in the Nielsens during seasons four to six, a period where many state the show to have been in its creative peak. The series continued to air Monday nights at 10 : 00 p.m. EST / 9 : 00 p.m. CST until the middle of the 1987 -- 88 season, holding its own against ABC 's Monday Night Football and NBC Monday Night at the Movies. Midway through its seventh season, Cagney & Lacey was moved to Tuesdays at 10 : 00 p.m. EST / 9 : 00 p.m. CST, where it began to compete against thirtysomething ( ABC ) and Crime Story ( NBC ). Cagney & Lacey lost viewers to the first - year critical success of thirtysomething, which, despite being the time slot winner, only ranked # 45 overall. CBS ' reason for relocating Cagney & Lacey was because it was believed that its Monday slot would further build an audience for Wiseguy, another new critical hit of the season that had average ratings at best. By the end of the season, Cagney & Lacey was left at 53rd place, and the 20 - point drop from the previous season was enough for CBS to have doubts about renewing the show. With the final episode of the seventh season ending on a cliffhanger, CBS was considering bringing the show back, but when May 1988 upfronts were released, Cagney & Lacey 's cancellation was confirmed. For the summer of 1988, the series moved one last time, not back to its familiar Monday time slot, but to Thursdays at 10 pm EST / 9 CST. The series garnered considerable popularity internationally. It was originally shown in the UK on BBC1 where it regularly made the top 10. Theme music The first - season main - titles are accompanied by the theme song `` Ai n't That the Way '' by Michael Stull, sung by Marie Cain, and show the two lead characters being promoted to plainclothes detectives and later disguised as prostitutes. This was replaced the following season by an instrumental theme composed by Bill Conti set to a collage of action and comical scenes featuring the characters from the series.
