Sunday's Miss San Antonio Scholarship Back on the beat Viewers rescued Cagney Lacey LOS ANGELES (AP) "Cagney Lacey," a cop show about two women who are buddies, is about to rise phoenix- like from the ashes of its cancellation. This police show, which recently went back into production, and which now stars Tyne Daly as Mary Beth Lacey and Sharon Gless as Chris Cagney, has a rap sheet as long as your arm. It originally was telecast by CBS in October 1981 as a TV movie with Daly and Loretta Swit in the title roles. Its high rating and critical acclaim caused CBS to select it as a series. It debuted in March 1982 as a regular series.

Daly reprised her role but Swit was committed to M-A-SH. Meg Foster was cast as Chris Cagney, then was dropped after six episodes because CBS, worried that the show presented too much of a "harsh women's lib" image, said it wanted a softer feminine look. That's where Gless came in. She was cast as Chris Cagney for the 1982-83 season. The show failed to attract much of an audience and CBS said it would dot renew the show.

Three things combined to make CBS change its mind and revive the show, a move virtually unprecedented in television. The press lobbied for its return, the public inundated the network with mail, and "Cagney Lacey" suddenly became a hot item in the ratings during the summer reruns. "I was shooting the TV movie Hobson's Choice last May when I heard the show had been killed," says Gless. "There was a briefeperiod of mourning. Then I buried Chris and moved on to other things," she said.

The series' executive producer, Barney Rosenzweig, looked into the possibility of making a "Cagney Lacey" feature film if the series couldn't be revived. Gless says she was in Houston filming the TV movie The Sky's No Limit when she got the call that the series was back on the track. It took Glass, 38, a while to warm up to the role of Chris Cagney. "I kept wanting to get out of series," she says. "But I nave learned we reach our dreams through avenues we haven't expected.

Chris Cagney, for instance, is imperfect, which makes her so perfect. She's very ambitious. She's funny. The great thing about her to me is her flaws. She's so focused on her work.

To Chris the shortest way is a straight line. "And Mary Beth is often in the way. She doesn't notice that she can cause pain. Thus, there's a lot of talk in the ladies' room. She doesn't always follow the rules.

I like her with Mary Beth because they make a good team. People talk about chemistry between types, which is something you can't control, but fortunately for us it clicked." The intent of the series was to make a "buddy" show starring two women. There have been many male buddy movies and series, but never one about women buddies. Nobody thought twice about "Starsky Hutch" being pals, but "Cagney Lacey" raised some eyebrows. Super Bowl made CBS a winner LOS ANGELES (AP) CBS solidified its lead in this season's TV rankings derby, sweeping the top three spots in the weekly Nielsen ratings on the strength of two Super Bowl programs and its popular newsmagazine, "60 Minutes." As the Los Angeles Raiders were mounting a 38-9 victory over the Washington Redskins on Sunday, CBS coverage of the Super Bowl was also claiming a runaway first in the viewing survey.

CBS got a rating of 46.0 for the hour and 20 minutes of the game that spilled over into prime time. put CBS back in first place for the week ending Jan. 22 after losing out to ABC the week btfore. ABC had won largely on the strength of its on incest, Something About Amelia. ABC fell to second and NBC remained in third place.

CBS won the A.C. Nielsen Co. survey with a network average of 19.8. ABC was second with 17.5 and NBC was third with 15.0. The networks say this means that in an average prime-time minute 10.8 percent of the television homes were tuned to CBS.

For the season-to-date CBS remained ahead with a rating of 18.2. ABC was second with 17.1 and NBC third with 15.1. The lowest-rated show of the week was the NBC variety series "The New other bottom five shows in were; NBC's "Legmen," CBS' "Empire," CBS' "Poor Richard" tpecial, and ABC's "Ripley's Believe It or Not." are the 20 top programs: 1.

But I don't know. Unless I found something I truly could not resist, I don't think so." She's still offered "everything" stage and TV plays and movies. She says, "I'm having a wonderful period in my life with my children and grandchildren and doing things I've never done before." She was made an honorary Boy Scout on her 70th birthday Dec. 1. One new thing, starting in 1982, was co-hosting a TV show primarily for senior citizens, "Over Easy," with Jim Hartz.

She says, "We did it for two years. We'd do 65 tapes in the summer in San Francisco and I could be free all winter." Her best advice to viewers? "Don't retire from life." Martin became a star in 1938, in Broadway's Leave it to Me, singing "My Heart Belongs to Daddy" with demeanor and voice so innocent audiences believed she didn't realize the double meanings. She was whisked to Hollywood, made movies until 1943, when she returned to Broadway as Venus in One Touch of Venus. After that, Broadway triumphs included Peter Pan, South Pacific and The Sound of Music. In the 1960s she starred in "Jennie," Dot I Dol and was last seen in 1978 in Do You Turn Somersaults" It wasn't a hit but the actress's somersaults got raves.

In New York this month to receive an "achievement in the arts" award from Northwood Institute, a Michigan business and arts college, Martin exuded warm cheer and seemed to move in a kind of twinkling glow. Martin admits she still "hurts now and then" as a result of a Sept. 5,1982, taxi-van accident in San Francisco. In the accident, Ben Washer, a former Broadway publicist, was killed, and actress Janet Gaynor, an old friend, also was hurt. She was in San Francisco General Hospital nine days, with a punctured lung, two broken ribs, two pelvic fractures and a bruised kidney, went back to "Over Easy" weeks after the wreck, limping and using a walker.

Martin has a son and daughter, actor Larry Hagman and Mary Heller Halliday De Meritt, and six grandchildren. She was married to lawyer Benjamin Hagman at 16, in 1930. The marriage was dissolved in 1935. She was married to producer Richard Halliday from 1940 until he died in 1973. DAILY TILLS DRAFT OBINKSFOR UNESCORTED LADIES MON.
