Cagney & Lacey: Shadow of a Doubt (1988)
Season 7, Episode 12
2/10
Shades of Lucy!
10 October 2020
I'm old now and don't care anymore but I continue to watch "not-current" television, including Cagney & Lacey and Cold Case and The Closer and Major Crimes. One reason is that for the most part the schedule is Sunday through Saturday; no week-end variance. All of the START TV programs have Female Leads. In this episode Cagney and Lacey were undercover on an assembly line and they were pathetic. I continued to think of Lucy and Ethel on the Chocolate assembly line, which was a much better TV show. Cagney and Lacey were one of the "break throughs" on TV as "Police Women". The first, and possibly the best was "Amy Prentiss" with Jessica Walter; a spinoff from Ironside; but it didn't last. I guess the problem was that the audience wasn't "woke" enough at the time. The Cagney and Lacey TV Show was totally unrealistic. I will say that Lacey; Tyne Daly; was very good in one of the Dirty Harry movies. Off topic, but Kyra Sedgwick, had the worst "Southern" accent ever in The Closer. How that series lasted I will never know. Sometimes I actually watched it muted and read the closed caption. From that series my advice in legal matters is to never believe what the police say.
