The Commish - Complete 1st Season (4-DVD)

Tony Scali has just been appointed police commissioner of Eastbridge, New York. As a former Brooklyn cop, Tony uses tough and at times controversial methods to bring perpetrators to justice. This package offers the first season of the show, in which Scali himself is the object of the police and public scorn. The show's opener "In the Best of Families," finds Tony in the hot seat after the son of a prominent lawyer commits suicide while in police custody. Many of the memorable episodes show how Tony's professional life affects his family, as in "The Poison Tree," when Tony learns that his wife Rachel's colleague is accused of child molestation. Other topics include police department politics (some cops turn up missing in a two-part "A Matter of Life and Death"), local government issues, and a number of difficult and fascinating crimes.
