I've been searching for C & L since they first began releasing TV Shows of any genre. With a loud "WOO HOO!!!" and a happy dance I pre-ordered as soon as I got the news.

I was really upset but #2-#4 does play correctly. <BR/>I am also writing because I want to speak with you about an animation I am working on. May I could speak with you? Maybe I could send you a DVD? Maybe?Ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00515148767040776074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3025517698875473195.post-34885688384906281812007-03-27T10:51:00.000-07:002007-03-27T10:51:00.000-07:00A Postscript to my previous message - I still want...A Postscript to my previous message - I still want the full set of DVDs asap please - home recordings are just not as good, and with the ITV3 showing there is 15 minutes of adverts.<BR/>According to Amazon UK, the DVD "ReTro TV - Cagney & Lacey - The True Beginning" is released on 25 June 2007.geneannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09533706618735900017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3025517698875473195.post-87395865568863231322007-03-27T10:40:00.000-07:002007-03-27T10:40:00.000-07:00Do you Brits know that in the UK ITV3 is currently...Do you Brits know that in the UK ITV3 is currently screening C&L Monday-Friday. I think they started with episode 1 on 19 March, but I did not find out until Friday, so I missed the first 4. Meg Foster was Cagney until yesterday (Monday 26th), and from my quick glance whilst recording today, it looks as if Sharon is now Cagney, which indicates they are showing them from the beginning. <BR/>The ITV website does not indicate how many they plan to show, so if you've got satellite or freeview - set your recorders.geneannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09533706618735900017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3025517698875473195.post-10649301656744037612007-03-26T12:34:00.000-07:002007-03-26T12:34:00.000-07:00Dear Barney,What's that they say about the 'squeak...Dear Barney,<BR/><BR/>What's that they say about the 'squeaky wheel'?

When I was younger, I liked the first (pre-cancellation) Gless season better than the others - it was more of a straightforward police drama. I didn't like the episodes focusing on the detectives' personal crises as much.<BR/><BR/>Now that I'm older, I realize how great those "personal" episodes are. A few years ago, I caught the breast cancer arc, which I had previously dismissed as "very special episodes". They were all very good, but the best episode of that bunch was the one that picked up several months *after* Lacey's surgery, with Lacey deciding to take a year's leave-of-absence, and Cagney trying to figure out why (while Samuels pressures her to pick a new partner). There's a great confrontation scene towards the end where Lacey reveals exactly why she doesn't want to go back to work. One of the best episodes of the series, I think.<BR/><BR/>As a completist, I'd like to see the pilot and Meg Foster episodes in this set. But the fact of the matter is that Foster didn't have chemistry with Tyne Daly the way Gless did, and those episodes are pretty forgettable.<BR/><BR/>BTW, I've noticed that most of the comments are from women. I'm a guy who appreciates a good TV series, no matter what gender the leads are.Kenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00680999426043152579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3025517698875473195.post-12888577414799334102007-03-24T14:14:00.000-07:002007-03-24T14:14:00.000-07:00Hey, "WIN/WIN"?

How proud you all must feel to know that your loyal fans from 25 years ago are still so inspired by your work and your dedication. <BR/><BR/>Aside from "Cagney and Lacey" being such compelling viewing, I think the reason you connected so deeply with your audience is because we could feel the dedication and passion that went into the series. You, Sharon, Tyne and the writers/directors made the lives of Chris and Mary-Beth, and their relationship with each other, so true it simply resonated inside us as viewers. I have enjoyed other series' since but none has made me feel the way C&L did. <BR/><BR/>So now I'm ready for that DVD. And the book. How long until Mother's Day? I've already given my "wish list" to my husband and daughter. :)<BR/><BR/>WOO-HOO!!!<BR/><BR/>KristyKristyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15017979705813270861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3025517698875473195.post-80179068819835993342007-03-23T19:32:00.000-07:002007-03-23T19:32:00.000-07:00I am so excited to hear this wonderful news :o) I'...I am so excited to hear this wonderful news :o) I'm glad that it all got straightened out and I will be preordering this as soon as possible. <BR/><BR/>I had a feeling with determination from all of us that it would get worked out. <BR/><BR/>I would do anything for this show to be seen again and I am going to treasure it in my collection. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for keeping us updated as to this great news! <BR/><BR/>I am off to watch Queer As Folk :o)Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17202141107360328254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3025517698875473195.post-45908906683738743342007-03-23T19:27:00.000-07:002007-03-23T19:27:00.000-07:00Fantastic news!!

I have been planning on giving it as a gift to a friend for over a year, not to mention I want a copy for myself. I was all set to come home tonight and start e-mailing all the entertainment shows about the injustice of it all. It brought me back to the day many years ago when I spontaneously wrote a letter to CBS about the cancellation of C&L, only to later find out I was part of a phenomenal outpouring over this groundbreaking series. <BR/><BR/>I wish I was able to attend the L.A. Museum event in April but I will for certain go to the NYC museum once the event is archived. And I will be setting my DVR for every TV appearance made by anyone in connection with the book & DVD release.<BR/><BR/>Thank you Barney, for being so diligent and so relentless in making this happen and keeping the fans involved. We're still here, ready to celebrate with you, Sharon, Tyne and everyone else who made Cagney & Lacey so special.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12424312795482456824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3025517698875473195.post-60164548892113658852007-03-23T16:56:00.000-07:002007-03-23T16:56:00.000-07:00Mr. Rosenzweig, you are a wonderful man!
