Description:
Emmy Award winner Michael Chiklis stars as Tony Scali, a former Brooklyn cop now the Police Commissioner of a small upstate city. But for Scali, this is no desk job. He's a tough yet compassionate boss, a loving husband and father, and a hands-on law enforcer with an unorthodox style of bending the rules. From parenthood to politics, from sex crimes to murder cases, one man takes it day-to-day with offbeat humor and street- smart skill. It all begins in this premiere season of the Commish. the Commish - Complete First Season includes all 21 episodes from the 1991/1992 season of the hit ABC- TV series, and features brand-new interviews with stars Michael Chiklis, Theresa Saldana and co-creators Stephen J. Cannell and Stephen Kronish produced exclusively for this collection.

Rating: - Stanlena
I am glad this series came out on dvd finally. Good, less violent, series.
Rating:  - Good TV , But what happened to the remaining seasons?
I have always been a big fan of the "The Commish" I had purchased seasons 1&2 but I thought the rest of the series would have been released by now. I had contacted Anchor Bay entertianment and they have informed me that they do not have plans to release the reamining seasons of this great show due to low sales. I always enjoyed it and I still do inspite of all this reality crap on TV. I just did not think that all the fans of this great show would be left out in the lurch.
Rating:  - Nice series - but badly cut DVD-set!
This DVD-set leaves me with very mixed emotions. On the one hand, the series was very nice. It's a cop-show with intelligent stories, a lot of humour and fine actors (with a great lead in Michael Chiklis, who has recently played a very different kind of cop in The Shield). It's particularly interesting since it depicts a cop who's trying to solve crimes and deal with people with compassion and intelligence instead of violence. That this character and some of the incidents depicted in the series are ... Read More
Rating: - An answer to the "cut scenes" issue
What's cut is essentially scenes with certain music that the production company couldn't secure the rights to by the time the DVD was released. Yeah... I know it sucks, but don't blame anchor bay for this one. Blame it on the copyright holders of the songs for either wanting too much royalties or just not wanting to participate on the DVD release.
Anyway I loved this show when it aired. Michael Chiklis is in rare form as an intelligent, yet comical police commissioner in this series. The ... Read More
Rating:  - Loved The Show Hate The Fact The Episodes Appear To Be Edited
I bought the first two seasons of The Commish because I really liked this show when it was on the air.
I wanted these DVD'S because they were a chance to relive the series again and while I have watched some of the episodes more than once I too was disappointed that these episodes are not uncut. I did write an emial to Anchor Bay expressing my disappointment at this but they just gave me the same tired company line about how they are only putting on dvd what is given to them by the ...
