How ridiculous is this?
TV Guide puts together a list of what it claims are the “
Top 12 Female [TV] Cops of All Time”--a roster that includes
Police Woman’s Pepper Anderson (Angie Dickinson) and
In Plain Sight’s Mary Shannon (Mary McCormack)--but fails to include either Christine Cagney (Sharon Gless) or Mary Beth Lacey (Tyne Daly) from
Cagney & Lacey? Judging by the rest of the rundown, though, the bias is definitely toward characters introduced within just the last decade, so I guess it must’ve been put together by folks too young to remember most of the history of television.
Swear to God, before I opened the link, I KNEW Olivia Benson would be #1
ReplyDeleteAlthough Sharon Gless in Burn Notice is giving me pause, Cagney and Lacey was a terrific series. They were tough, smart, real and fun to hang with.
ReplyDeleteI haven't looked at the list, but Dexter's sister, Deb, is my new hero.
Choosing Stacy Sheridan (Heather Locklear) from T.J.HOOKER over Lucy Bates (Betty Thomas) from HILL STREET BLUES seems a little compromising as well.
ReplyDeleteWait a minute, where's Karen Sisco (Carla Gugino)?
ReplyDeleteAnd let's not forget Dana Plant (the great Paula Marshall) from "Snoops" (1999).
What? No Christie Love (from _Get Christie Love_)?
