Episode 122: "Cagney & Lacey with the 90's TV Babies"
The Conversation
- The eternal comfort-food pleasure of police procedurals.
- “Ain’t That The Way”: what’s with that amazing original theme song?
- Which Baby liked Loretta Swit the best? And which one loved Meg Foster??
- Is Christine Cagney coded as lesbian? (And what does “coded” mean, anyway?)
- Does Meg Foster have “F@%k Me” eyes?
- Why does Susan want to be “Magnum, P.I.”?!
- Sergio Perez on the heat of “Heat” (Season 4, Episode 2)
- Turns out Serita is friends with (Detective Petrie) Carl Lumbly’s son, Brandon!
- Ripped From The Headlines: Was Cagney & Lacey an “issue show”?
- Harvey Lacey: the revolutionary evolution of Mary Beth Lacey’s Husband
- What is the bar for representation on TV? Has it gotten better since the ’80s? Can you have more than two female leads? Black characters? Can you have racial diversity AND LGBTQ representation in the same show?
So, join Susan and Sharon – and the Babies – as we talk “MASH”-love, “Shadow & Bone” and the joy of raising puppies!
