𝗖𝗔𝗚𝗡𝗘𝗬 & 𝗟𝗔𝗖𝗘𝗬 is an American police procedural drama television series that aired on the CBS television network for seven seasons from March 25, 1982, to May 16, 1988.

The show is about two New York City police detectives who lead very different lives: Christine Cagney (Sharon Gless) is a career-minded single woman, while Mary Beth Lacey (Tyne Daly) is a married working mother.

The series is set in a fictionalized version of Manhattan's 14th Precinct (known as "Midtown South"). The pilot movie had Loretta Swit in the role of Cagney, while the first six episodes had Meg Foster in the role.

When the show was revived for a full-season run, Gless took over the role and remained in the part for the rest of the show's run and later television movies.

Each year during that time, one of the two lead actresses won the Emmy for Best Lead Actress in a Drama (four wins for Daly in 1983, 1984, 1985 and 1988; and two wins for Gless in 1986 and 1987), a winning streak matched only once since in any major category by a show.

John Karlen also won the Emmy for Best Supporting Actor in a Drama in 1986 for his role as Harvey Lacey Sr., and the Cagney & Lacey series itself won the Emmy for Outstanding Drama in 1985 and 1986.
