Dangerous Women is a syndicated nighttime American soap opera about a group of women who served time in prison together. It was created and written by Reg Watson and produced by Reg Grundy Productions.

Synopsis

The main character who tied the show together was Faith Cronin (Valerie Wildman), a mobster's wife. To leave behind her criminal record and her abusive husband, she staged her own death and created a new identity. She bought a lakefront inn not far from the prison where she was once held with her friends. One by one, as the other girls were released from prison, they eventually took refuge at the inn and attempted to start their lives over together.

Airings and cancellation

Dangerous Women premiered August 7, 1991 and aired only one season. The show was syndicated on a limited basis -- WWOR-TV in New York, WPWR-TV in Chicago and KCOP-TV in Los Angeles were known to have carried the program. In some markets, two one-hour episodes aired back to back every Wednesday night with encores on Saturday nights. It had reasonable ratings in New York, but it wasn't enough to keep the show going. It was pulled from syndication on January 1, 1992 after 52 episodes.

Several weeks before the show was officially cancelled, all six lead actresses appeared on The Richard Bey Show, a talk show that originated from WWOR. There was also a two part special of "NY At Night" (a late night talk show starring Clint Holmes). These appearances were their last attempt to keep the show on the air.

Syndication

Shortly after its American cancellation, the show was broadcast on Central Television - the ITV franchise for the United Kingdom's English Midlands. It aired on Sunday and Monday nights from March 1992 replacing Prisoner in the schedule (which had finished December the previous year). All 52 episodes aired. The show was also later aired twice by cable TV station Living, in a late-night time-slot and repeated weekdays.
