- TriviaLoretta Swit played Christine Cagney in the television movie that inspired the series. Swit couldn't continue in the role due to her contract with M*A*S*H (1972), so Meg Foster took over the role of Christine Cagney. After the first season, Sharon Gless won the role, and played Cagney for six years. At the time, a CBS spokesperson said Gless replaced Foster because the audience had trouble telling the two leads apart. It was later revealed that Foster was replaced because they felt that her portrayal made Cagney appear to be a lesbian. When the show was revived from cancellation, CBS demanded that Barney Rosenzweig replace Foster.
- Quotes
Mary Beth Lacey: We go in together and it's 'Hello, Sgt. Cagney,' 'How ya doing, Sgt. Cagney?' I may as well have stayed in the car.
Christine Cagney: Oh Mary Beth.
Mary Beth Lacey: And when we go to the lab, Solomon offers you sushi, me, I get fiber samples. Don't tell me you never noticed.
Christine Cagney: Well, maybe one or two times. You know how men are.

Featured review
A very nice television series.
Tyne Daly (Christy) played Detective Mary Beth Lacey. Sharon Gless, (The trials of Rosie O"Neill) was Detective Christine Cagney. This was a show about two women who worked together and became good friends outside their job. Harvey Lacey,Tony LaTorre, was a nice and understanding husband.This show was really well done and we enjoyed watching it. It is always good to see women playing that type of role. There is one episode that stuck with me. It was about Hispanic illegal aliens in the United States living in horrible conditions, even in the attic of a building. They were chasing them and purposefully missed them, by saying: "there is nobody here." That was a nice episode where they showed a lot of compassion.
