It would probably be over-the-top
to proclaim "BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND," but it is most certainly true
that it was touching to see how many of you contacted us, both on this website
and even more on the Cagney & Lacey
Facebook page, regarding my decision to let this website simply vanish into the
black hole that is rumored to be out there.... somewhere.
More than the numbers (which were
impressive, by the way) was the reasoning that, for the very little money it
takes to keep the website up and running, there is something to be said to having
it there for whomever might want to check out this repository of stuff on our
iconic television series in the future.
I am convinced. We will stay up
on the web... even for our limited readership. Since one of my reasons for this
turnabout is posterity, I will endeavor to make this site even more of a
repository of Cagney & Lacey
material than it was before. In that regard, installments of my book, Cagney & Lacey...and Me will begin
on this site in the very near future. I know all of you have read it, but in
the spirit of that aforementioned repository, I think the book should be part
of the gestalt of this definitive Cagney
& Lacey website.
Not that you still can't get your
very own autographed copy of the book (am I shameless, or what?). We still have
plenty of copies and are only too happy to supply you with more... and now
discounted down to $20 all in, including shipping. Be sure to let us know to
whom you want the book autographed. They do make for a thoughtful... but
easy... gift for almost any occasion.
Thank you all, again, for your
interest, and for the caring way in which you addressed my upset at what I
characterized as this failure of mine. They say that a parent is only as happy
as his least happy child.... Unhappy or not, this website is still one of my
offspring... and so we will keep it going.

Yippee! Happy to hear that what fans want is still king somewhere. Now, where's Rosie O'Neill? Love~
I am so pleased that the blog is back! Good for you, Barney :) I have been a Cagney and Lacey fan from the beginning, especially of Sharon.
Phew. For a minute there I thought we were going to have to stage a Cagney & Lacey-style letter writing campaign..:)
Thanks, Barney, that's great news.
Great cagney and lacey are the best glad you changed your mind.anymore on when we will see rosie oneil?
That is great news!
I am very happy to hear this!
Ah, brilliant! This feels like the successful letter-writing campaigns from the '80s that brought back C&L! It will always be important and relevant, and it's good to maintain this site as a testament to that.
Thank you!!
Dear Barney...Apologies. .I have been away and just caught up on your blogs. .I am so pleased that you have decided to carry on with your blogs..It's always great to hear your news and you must know that us Brits will always crave updates from you. Hope you are keeping well. Much love Helen C xx
So so hapoy to read this Barney! Feels like a throw back to the good old times when that letter writing campaign brought C&L back! I remember TV Guide...."you want em...you got em." Thank you for preserving a significant piece of TV history. Just saw Tyne this oast Saturday perform up in Dorset VT. The 3 1/2 hr drive up was well worth it. Now to have a play written for both Sharon and Tyne! Karen V. - Massachusetts
Welcome back Barney
Any updates on the "Trials of Rosie O'Neil" DVD?
thanks, Vicki K
Excellent! Such a wonderful show!
Screw those upstart new millennium dramas--I've been binge-watching C & L lately (alternating with PERRY MASON). I own the whole C & L series. I'm almost done with the superb seven episodes from the spring of 1984. It's been fun watching the episodes again. I loved this show in the 1980s and I appreciate it all the more today. Those ladies are still magnificent. My regards to them and to you also, Mr. R. I bought your delightful book in 2008 on my (alas, only one to date) visit to Hollywood.
All the best,
