Slightly offbeat television police comedy/drama. Tony Scali is the police
commissioner in a small town, where solutions to difficult situations often
require considerable creativity. Tony's easygoing manner and clever intellect
are much more useful to him than weapons or brute force in his fight against
crime. -- www.imdb.com

Airing from 1991 to 1996, The Commish was a television drama about the
unorthodox ways of Tony Scali (Michael Chiklis), a police commissioner from
Eastbridge, a fictional suburb of New York City. Although he frequently
encountered difficult situations, Commissioner Scali always preferred to use his
brain instead of his gun. Tony's service to Eastbridge often went above and
beyond the call of duty and he tried to instill the same passion in everyone he
worked with, including Detectives Paulie Pentangeli (John Cygan) and Cyd Madison
(Melinda McGraw) as well as Officers Stan Kelly (Geoffrey Nauffts), Carmela
Pagan (Gina Belafonte), Ricky Caruso (Nicholas Lea), and Ronnie Lopez (Jason
Schombing). But for as committed as he was to his work, Tony Scali was equally
committed to his family as the husband of Rachel (Theresa Saldana) and father to
David (Kaj-Erik Eriksen) and Sarah (Dayna and Justine Cornbourough).
