Yes I was disappointed 2, I was hoping 2 c the (final) Filmways logo, but I just remember that Orion took over Filmways, then later MGM took over Orion, so they plastered their logo over it.
In the first season, Filmways Television was the distributor of Cagney & Lacey. And the second season to the final season, it was distributed by Orion Television.
I actually liked this theme ...a shame that MGM cut the end to it along with Filmways '82 (learning a bit too much from its time being owned by Sony, are they? ;-))
The logo of MGM Domestic Television Distribution used from 1996-2004. Until they used the same font as MGM Worldwide Television Distribution from 2004-2004.
I had no idea that C&L had been a Filmways show until you mentioned it. They should have had Lacey say in her New Yawk accent, "This has been a Filmways Presentation", a la Ellie May Clampett or Eva Gabor.
I don't think so. The Filmways Globe logo was from 1961-1978. The 2nd one was 1978-1981, and the final from 1981-1983. The last logo was used when Orion Pictures Corporation took over Filmways and Filmways Television was folded into Orion Television in 1983.

I was kidding around - I really doubt they would have done that on a drama series like C&L, even if the logo had been in use at the time.

The MGM Domestic Television Distribution plastered over the Filmways Television logo. The WNDS-TV (now MyTV New England) logo appeared after that.

This looks like the TV movie w/Beth Foster, that's probably why.

Loretta Swit did the two-hour pilot with Tyne Daly. Meg Foster did the six one-hour episodes that comprised the first season.

It's not. But it rocks nonetheless.
