CENTURY CITY, Calif. - The landmark TV drama that redefined pop-culture gender roles, "Cagney & Lacey" makes its long-awaited DVD debut on May 8, 2007 from MGM Home Entertainment. Celebrating the 25th anniversary of the stereotype-shaking series, the four-disc "Cagney & Lacey" Season One with Sharon Gless and Tyne Daly DVD Collection showcases the birth of a television revolution: a prime-time pioneer that retained its femininity while placing its female heroes in situations typically dominated by men. "Cagney & Lacey" teams Tyne Daly ("Judging Amy") and Sharon Gless ("Queer As Folk") as New York detectives whose opposing personalities and disparate crime-fighting styles mesh to form one of the most memorable duos in television history. Making its TV debut in 1982, "Cagney & Lacey" was cancelled after just the first season... but fan fervor ran strong, and an overwhelming letter-writing campaign brought the two female cops back to the network's schedule. Validating the fans' faith in the unprecedented series, "Cagney & Lacey" went on to earn 36 Emmy® nominations and 14 wins during its run, including two wins for Outstanding Drama Series, as well as four Best Actress wins for Daly and two for Gless. The beloved and critically acclaimed series also garnered 13 Golden Globe® nominations and a win for Gless in 1986. Over its celebrated six seasons, "Cagney & Lacey" tackled controversial, hot- button social issues that had previously been taboo on TV, including abortion, date rape and urban race relations. Featuring the first 22 episodes starring Daly and Gless, the "Cagney & Lacey" Season One with Sharon Gless and Tyne Daly DVD Collection is available for the suggested retail price of $39.98 U.S./$54.98 Canada.
