TV Shows - Commish, The

The Commish was a television series that aired on ABC in the United States from 1991 to 1996. It also screened on KTN (Kenya Television Network) in Kenya, Nelonen in Finland, NRK in Norway and the Nine Network in Australia, TV3 in Spain. It is still broadcast on SBS Net in Denmark and La7 in Italy. The series starred Michael Chiklis as Tony Scali, a police commissioner in a small Upstate New York town who worked through problems with humor and creativity more often than with violence or force. Theresa Saldana played Rachel Scali, Tony's wife, and Kaj-Erik Eriksen played their teen-aged son David. Also living with the family in the first season was Rachel's freeloading brother Arnie Metzger (David Paymer). A daughter, Sarah, played by twins Justine and Dayna Cornborough, was born to Tony and Rachel in the second season. The show focused as much on family situations as on police drama. Each episode ran at 60 minutes on air, and the show lasted five years. The series often dealt with a wide range of topical social issues such as racism, homophobia, drug addiction, disabilities, child abuse, illegal immigrants, and sexual harassment.

1 Not a bad little show! What I liked the most here is how the title character caught clues and worked out whodunnit and HOW- and then did his best to nail the perps. I recall one episode in which he momentarily hesitated in breaking into someone's apartment sans warrant on the ground that the evidence couldn't be used to give the perp a life sentence- then realized that the kidnapped baby dependent on medicine would DIE waiting for said warrant so it was better to risk no jail time for the perp than to let a kidnapped baby die! I liked the idea of an official weighing what was ethically better for the victims/families rather than just someone who randomly dispensed stuff with no thought of that. -- Submitted By: (Pelirojo) on June 9, 2011, 2:07 pm - (1 votes) - Login to Vote
