User Reviews

brief Cagney & Lacey reunion

While I've been a huge Burn Notice fan since it first aired, this episode will definitely go down as one of my favorites. The little Cagney & Lacey reunion had me cracking up! I didn't even see Tyne Daly's name in the credits, but as soon as "Sam" told "Michael" that the gal smoked the same cigarettes & shopped at the same store as his mom, I just knew that it would end up being her. Plus, the fact that she ended up getting the same haircut as Sharon Gless's character - priceless! Even if you aren't a Burn Notice fan, but used to watch Cagney & Lacey, you must see this episode. This show has a unique combination of action and comedy, and is brilliant through and through.
