[QUOTE="ChrisSumner, post: 338502, member: 759"] I finished season one and have watched the first two episodes of season two. I love Sharon Gless as Cagney. Like with Loretta Swit, there is a big contrast in not only their look, but personality and it feels more dynamic. Still, I think Meg Foster was great and did exactly what was expected to her on a "different" show. I feel like the pilot movie and the first season reminded me more of when a show has to go through multiple pilots before making it to air. If the only thing that changed was who played Cagney, that would be one thing, but season two has a completely different look and style. It's as if they got a new costume designer, the police set has been updated and the intro is completely different. It's a shame Meg got blamed for a show that was simply going through growing pains. Still, I do think they've finally gotten it right. Sharon Gless' Cagney feels like a New Yorker who grew up with money. She has a hard edge, but soft feminine style. I love that they allow her to wear heels and dresses and still take her seriously. Her chemistry with Tyne Daly is instantly there, but the relationship I'm really falling in love with is Lacey and Harvey. I've never seen John Karlen outside of Dark Shadows, but it's nice to see he found success after that show. They sparkle together and I love when we get to visit their household. I'm used to it being the wife at home, so it's interesting to see this, especially on an 80s show. Before I continue my binge, I wondered what yall think of the tv movies? I read an interview with Gless that said they were successful and would've continued, but Les Moonves wasn't a fan of the show. Did they have the same quality as the tv show? [/QUOTE]
