Cagney & Lacey: The Complete Series

The series and leads are great. The Dvds are basic, no episode guide, just a list of the episodes on the particular disc you have installe, four or five per disc. There are all the annoying features of Dvd technology in this collection, which I never liked but there's no other way to get this. The annoying rights page, followed by the producer logo with its loud if brief theme. The clunky move to the episode you pick. Then there's a preview of the episode before you get to the opening credits, with the show's theme now played for the third time. Dvds were always like this, so awful compared to Dvr recordings. The fast forward, reverse and scene skip don't work very well, it could be my player. The video and sound are fine though, with no commercials of course.I didn't realize the series was so introspective, I could stand a little more action. Cagney never dressed like she lived in NYC, had more of a Florida or S. Cal. wardrobe.

If you're a fan of crime dramas and Cagney & Lacey in particular, this set is for you. Has all the tv episodes and the films. Great balance of audio and video. Highly recommend it!

LOve all the actors in this show.

I buy a lot of old sitcoms and this is a great value for a good old tv show. It also comes in a great box set where the discs are in the center in little black envelopes that stack on top of each other. Discs are safer this way. Added tip- put a sticky note on the disc you watched so you remember where you left off.

We really enjoy the series.

Item came in great condition. I've bought previous releases from VEI and have not been disappointed in the quality of the dvd or blu-ray. I would buy from VEI again.

The product delivered to me contained 29 discs and has all the CAGNEY & LACEY shows plus somebonus material.The 4 rating rather than 5 for the following reasons: Some of the discs have technical problems such as skips or freeze - all could be bypassed. The discs are in flimsy envelopes in a clump. No booklet or episode guide (this is available online if wanted). None of the videos have SDH sub-titles.A note about labeling: The 2 hour made for TV movie, the first C&L production is labeled as a PILOT., (actors TYNE DALY and LORETTA SWITT). A 6 episode TV series (Tyne Daly & Meg Foster) followed.This FIRST series is labeled as "lost episodes". There followed Season 2-7 (sometimes refereed to asseries 2-6) with Tyne Daly and Sharon Gless).When the TV series ended, 4 made for TV MIVIES were produced, again with Daly & Gless.The executive producer BARNEY ROSENZWEIG wrote a book about the creation, marketing andprogress of the Cagney & Lacey dramas CAGNEY & LACEY...and Me. For a limited edition DVD set herecorded this on 2 audio discs (CDs) not available except in that set.This 40th Anniversary box contains an MP3 AUDIO DVD containing Rosenzweig reading the book.Here is a list of the discs contained in this set:THE LOST EPISODES 2-DVDDISC 1 PILOT (1981 Filmways, CBS TV movie with Loretta Switt) Season 1 (1982, Filmways) with Meg Foster 6 episodes 1 "Bang, Bang, You're Dead" ("You Call This Plain Clothes?") 2 "Pop Used to Work Chinatown"DISC 2 3 "Beyond the Golden Door" 4 "Street Scene" 5 "Suffer the Children" 6 "Better Than Equal"SSEASON 2-7 and post-series TV films with Sharon Gless (23 DVD)(1) THE TRUE BEGINNING 5-DVDSeason 2 (1982–83) 22 episodesDISC 1 1 "Witness to An Incident" 2 "One of Our Own" 3 "Beauty Burglars" 4 "High Steel"DISC 2 5 "Hotline" 6 "Internal Affairs" 7 "Mr. Lonelyhearts" 8 "Conduct Unbecoming"DISC 3 9 "I'll Be Home for Christmas"10 "Recreational Use" 11 "Hopes and Dreams"12 "The Grandest Jewel Thief of them All"DISC 413 "Affirmative Action"14 "Open and Shut Case"15 "Jane Doe #37"16 "Date Rape"17 "Burn Out"DISC 518 "Chop Shop"19 "A Cry for Help"20 "Let Them Eat Pretzels"21 "the Gangs all Here"22 "The Informant"(2) BACK BY DEMAND 2-DVDSeason 3 (1984) 7 episodesDISC 1 1 "Matinée" 2 "A Killer's Dozen" 3 "Victimless Crime" 4 "The Bounty Hunter"DISC 2 5 "Baby Broker" 6 "Partners" 7 "Choices"(3) SUCCESS AT LAST 4-DVDSeason 4 (1984–85) 22 episodesDISC 1 1 "Child Witness" 2 "Heat" 3 "Insubordination" 4 "Old Debts" 5 "Fathers and Daughters" 6 "Taxicab Murders"DISC 2 7 "Unusual Occurrence" 8 "Thank God It's Monday" 9 "Hooked"10 "Lady Luck"11 "Out of Control"12 "American Dream"DISC 313 "Happily Ever After"14 "Rules of the Game"15 "Stress"16 "Who Says It's Fair?: Part 1"17 "Who Says It's Fair?: Part 2"DISC 418 "Lost and Found"19 "Two Grand"20 "Con Games"21 "Violation"22 "Organized Crime"(4) EVEN MORE SUCCESS 4-DVDSeason 5 (1985–86)DISC 1 1 "On the Street" 2 "Ordinary Hero" 3 "The Psychic" 4 "Lottery" 5 "Entrapment" 6 "The Clinic"DISC 2 7 "Mothers & Sons" 8 "Filial Duty" 9 "Old Ghosts" 10 "Power" 11 "Play It Again, Santa" 12 "Rebukes" ??The RapistDISC 3 13 "Act of Conscience" 14 "DWI" 15 "The Gimp" 16 "Family Connections" 17 "Post Partum" 18 "The Man Who Shot Trotsky"DISC 4 19 "Exit Stage Centre" 20 "Capitalism" 21 "Extradition" 22 "A Safe Place" 23 "Model Citizen" 24 "Parting Shots"(5) QUALITY CONTROL 4-DVDSeason 6 (1986–87)DISC 1 1 "Schedule One" 2 "Culture Clash" 3 "Sorry, Right Number" 4 "Disenfranchised" 5 "Role Call" 6 "The Zealot"DISC 2 7 "The Marathon" 8 "Rites of Passage" 9 "Revenge" 10 "To Thine Own Self Be True" "The Rapist: Part 2" 11 "Cost of Living" 12 "Waste Deep"DISC 3 13 "Favors" 14 "Ahead of the Game" 15 "Easy Does It" 16 "To Sir, With Love" 17 "Divine Couriers"DISC 4 18 "Right to Remain Silent" 19 "Special Treatment" 20 "Happiness is a Warm Gun" 21 "Turn, Turn, Turn: Part 1" 22 "Turn, Turn, Turn: Part 2"(6) WINDING DOWN 4-DVDSeason 7 (1987–88)DISC 11 "No Vacancy"2 "The City is Burning"3 "Loves Me Not"4 "Different Drummer"5 "You've Come a Long Way, Baby"6 "Video Verite"DISC 27 "Greed"8 "Secrets"9 "Don't I Know You?"10 "Old Flames"11 "Trading Places"12 "Shadow of a Doubt"DISC 313 "Hello Goodbye"14 "School Daze"15 "Land of the Free"16 "A Class Act"17 "Button, Button"DISC 418 "Amends"19 "Friendly Smoke"20 "Yup"21 "A Fair Shake: Part 122 "A Fair Shake: Part 2"TV MOVIES 2-DVDDISC 1 Cagney & Lacey: THE RETURN November 6, 1994 interview Barney Rosenzweig Cagney & Lacey: TOGETHER AGAIN May 2, 1995 interview Sharon GlessDISC 2 Cagney & Lacey: THE VIEW THROUGH THE GLASS CEILING October 25, 1995 interview Tyne Daly Cagney & Lacey: TRUE CONVICTIONS January 29, 1996 interview Barbara CordayBONUS DVD Breakin the Laws of TV - Part I & II 30th Anniversary BFI British Film Institute (Rosenzweig, Daly, Pless, Jenni Murray) November 29, 2011CAGNEY & LACEY....and ME - Barney Rosenzweig mp3 AUDIO DVD chapters 1-15 21-47 16-20

We love nostalgic tv . When we found out that the 40th anniversary complete series came with the unaired pilot and all made for tv movies. We were sold. The price was perfect.When it did show up. The video and sound quality are great. Better than expected for a show from 1981 . I believe it was remastered for the 40th but not the 30th anniversary boxset.Packaging was great. For some reason. The disks were off season 2 was season 3 and so on all the way through. Once we figured this out we started watching.Vei is a great company, I will buy more nostalgic show from them . Very happy

Best show hands down

Enjoying it. Remember watching it as a kid although I don't think I remember the real lovey dovey bit.

Eine wunderbare und menschliche US Serie, wie es sie heute nicht mehr gibt.

I Dvd di Carney and Lacey sono buoni. La custodia è particolare perché tutte e 6 le.stagioni sono stiate in Un'unica custodia di Plastica che è molto.grande.e spessa. I Dvd però sono protetti. Purtroppo sono sprovvisti di sottotitoli. Il prezzo è stato davvero conveniente

This is a great cop show with lots of action! The acting was brilliant as well as the writing by women for women! Actresses Sharon Gless and Tyne Daly were absolutely brilliant as cops Christine Cagney and Mary Beth Lacey; these two female cops were partners as well as friends and they worked together to catch the bad guys! WOW! The show never gets old!
