Cagney & Lacey: The Complete Series

An incredible show with incredible cast and you can now watch at home anytime. I think the price is great. It also gives you special features and includes all the follow up movies after the show ended

The series and leads are great. The Dvds are basic, no season/episode labels, no episode guide, just a list of the episodes on the particular disc you have installed, four to six episodes 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. But, I find most the episodes boring. There's alot of character play, but it doesn't interest me, like the habits of the chief officer in the station or Lacey's husband and their relationship. It could be the different time, but I was part of the audience they sought when it was new, late 20's to early 30's single professional urban woman. I didn't watch it then though. The leads just chat alot and there isn't much action or suspense, it almost seems shocking when something happens. But, I maintain that TV must be dramatic and drama isn't a copy of real life blahs, it has heightened feelings and actions. I watched Simon and Simon back then and it was my favorite show and I was right. I don't like any of the Cagney & Lacey supporting cast, all guys, but I think they're good, I just don't like them or care to see or hear them. But Tyne Daly and Sharon Gless are good, together and apart in the show, the top female team in TV history. Their costars can't approach them in terms of being interesting or having talent or charisma. Cagney never dressed like she lived in NYC, she had more of a Florida or S. Cal. wardrobe.

Great classic series. Adjust settings on t.v. & add an 8k cable & like watching first time.

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

The DVD box came in great condition and all of the discs inside work very well and there’s no damage or scratches. The picture on all of the discs looks great! I’m probably one of the youngest fans at 36. I first started watching it on Hulu about 9 years ago as it was two of my aunts favorite show when it originally aired in the 80’s. Fast forward 9 years later and a pandemic, I rediscovered the show on Amazon prime and binge watched all of the seasons. As a early Christmas present to myself I decided to buy the set and am so glad I did. This show really speaks to working women and shows how women can do the same work as men. The two leading ladies, Sharon Gless and Tyne Daly, really shine and have great chemistry. This show didn’t shy away from talking about tough topics and was way ahead of its time. If you’re a fan of cop shows or anything 80’s, I highly recommend this set!

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!

The product delivered to me contained 29 discs and has all the CAGNEY & LACEY shows plus some bonus 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 as series 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 and progress of the Cagney & Lacey dramas CAGNEY & LACEY...and Me. For a limited edition DVD set he recorded 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.

A fantastic robust black plastic box set containing all of C&L from the Pilot with Loretta Switt to the 1990s reunion movies in polyester fabric DVD sleeve folders. The internal packaging isn't great but it's better than the cardboard sleeves the scratch up discs. The Pilot is there with all of the first season with Meg Foster (rather confusingly labelled the 'lost episodes' instead) and all the remaining seasons are there (also confusingly listing season 2 as season 1 because it's the first season with Sharon Gless!) plus the 4 TV movies following Cagney & Lacey's later activities between 1994 and 1996. The interviews that were previously released in The Menopause Years box set are also included as extras with the TV movies so nothing has been left out. About as complete a set as you can ever hope to get and well worth the price on Amazon.

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

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

It came promptly and well boxed, I just wish the distributor had packaged the cd’s better. That aside all the cd’s played perfectly
