Buy the Limited Edition from CagneyandLacey.com
If you go to Cagney and Lacey dot com you can order the Limited Edition produced by Barney Rosenzweig.

Six episodes from Season Two on: These were:
Heat
An Unusual Occurrence
Out of Control
Power
To Sir With Love - one of the slapstick episodes
Choices - the "freedom of a woman to...
Not a good deal
This is not a good deal. Go to the Cagney & Lacey website to get info on how to order to limited edition (which includes much more than this set) and it is $30 cheaper and there is free shipping this week!!
