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.

  tony is one tuff cop with a heart of gold hide « show »

  when i first saw the commish when it aired in austraila i fell head over heels for it. i could'nt get enought of it. tony is the type of boss that you would do anything for. hes a tuff cop who does'nt break the rules and would do any thing he can to help you. he has a heart of gold. he also has a great sense of humor and makes you laugh. the storys where great and its a great show. i hope this show is bought out of dvd soon. this is one cop show that i can watch over and over and never get tired of it.

  Do you agree?

  Chiklis Rules hide « show »

  The Commish was a slightly different cop show - the emphasis here was not on heavy violence but on "the commish" himself, this gave the show more grounded. Played by that gifted actor, Michael Chiklis. Chiklis brought great likability to the role of Tony Scali, a good guy in a small town dedicated to family and his work as police commissioner. Teresa Saldana played his wife, and the two were totally believable together. The cop part of the show sported a fine cast including Geoffrey Nauffts, Melinda McGraw, and Gina Belafonte. The emphasis really seemed to be on warmth, as you really looked forward to seeing the whole group. I never found the episodes as dark or as interesting as other police shows, but that was never the point of "The Commish." Like many Stephen Cannell shows, the series was driven by the personality of the main character and an excellent ensemble. "Wiseguy" may have had more hard-hitting scripts, and "Rockford Files" may have been more fun, but "The Commish" was comfortable and highly entertaining.
  My father once said he would always watch a show were the hero is a middle-aged, overweight, balding man.
