Did You Know?
| Trivia | Loretta Swit played Christine Cagney in the television movie that inspired the series. Swit couldn't continue in the role due to her contract with M*A*S*H (1972), so Meg Foster took over the role of Christine Cagney. After the first season, Sharon Gless won the role, and played Cagney for six years. At the time, a CBS spokesperson said Gless replaced Foster because the audience had trouble telling the two leads apart. It was later revealed that Foster was replaced because they felt that her portrayal made Cagney appear to be a lesbian. When the show was revived from cancellation, CBS demanded that Barney Rosenzweig replace Foster. See more » |

| Quotes |
Mary Beth Lacey:
We go in together and it's 'Hello, Sgt. Cagney,' 'How ya doing, Sgt. Cagney?' I may as well have stayed in the car. Christine Cagney: Oh Mary Beth. Mary Beth Lacey: And when we go to the lab, Solomon offers you sushi, me, I get fiber samples. Don't tell me you never noticed. Christine Cagney: Well, maybe one or two times. You know how men are.
