About The Commish
The Commish aired from March 1991 to May 1996 with 94 episodes by Stephen Cannell for ABC, following police commissioner Tony Scali balancing town crime with wife Rachel and kids. Early runs build home and precinct gags with Arnie side turns, while later runs carry teen, drug and office plots with steady family growth.
The show kept case-of-week plots with light serial family growth that still reads best in order. Watch seasons one through five in broadcast order, since job standing, kid ages and friend ties stack across years and the close lands best with that chain intact. The home and work balance holds the run together.
Good to know
Watch seasons one through five in broadcast order, since family ages and precinct ties assume sequence even though most cases stand alone. Later teen arcs need the early home setup to make sense, so skipping ahead loses why Tony bends rules. No film sits in the chain, so the 94 episode list is complete. The ABC run ended in 1996 with no revival ordered since.
