Whatever women do they must do twice as well as men to be thought half as good...
Day Six: Favorite female-driven show
You want the truth? I ♥ love ♥ Cagney and Lacey. Though I was about a year old when the tv show finished it's first run of it's 7 seasons I was at uni around the time it started to re-air on tv and OMFG I fell madly in love with the show. Sharon Gless and Tyne Daly are still two of my all time favourite fiesty female characters and wow they were really ahead of their time in some ways with their female leads.
Okay so some people might say that they love Sexa nd the City or other modern female driven tv shows but in my heart of hearts I will always, always love Cagney and Lacey. They balanced careers with their homes lives, proving that sometimes things weren't always perfect and sometimes things had to give. They weren't drop dead gorgeous or even super skinny, they were just two sassy, lovely women out to do their job.
For me they represent the values we've lost in tv shows.
