- Channel Hop: Production Company Hop, in this case. The pilot film and the first season were produced by Filmways (yes, that Filmways); the young Orion Pictures subsequently bought them, and they took over production of the rest of the show; the reunion telefilms were produced directly by creator Barney Rosenzweig, as by that point Orion had gone bankrupt. MGM owns the rights to the series now due to their buyout of Orion in 1998.
- Directed by Cast Member: Al Waxman, who played Lt. Bert Samuels, also directed episodes "Lost and Found", "Entrapment", "DWI", "Cost of Living", "Favors", and "Button, Button".
- Missing Episode: When it started rerunning Cagney & Lacey, Lifetime omitted the first season episodes featuring Meg Foster as Cagney. The first DVD release likewise labeled the second season (featuring Sharon Gless as Cagney) as the first season.
- The Other Darrin: Loretta Swit played Cagney in the Pilot Movie, but wasn't available for the series due to her commitment to M*A*S*H. Meg Foster played her for the first season before being replaced by Sharon Gless, who played her for the rest of the run.
- Un-Canceled: Became this thanks to a letter-writing campaign.
- What Could Have Been: A reboot pilot was ordered by CBS in 2018 with Sarah Drew and Michelle Hurd in the lead roles, with Ving Rhames co-starring; CBS ultimately passed on the project.
