"The Commish" or "The Shield"?

The Commish was a U.S. comedy-drama television series that aired on the ABC network from 1991 to 1996. The series focused on the work and home life of a suburban police commissioner in upstate new York.  The show's title is an abbreviation of and a supposedly endearing diminutive reference for "the commissioner".  Michael Chiklis played the lead role.

The Shield was a U.S. television police drama show from 2002 to 2008 (FX network) that principally starred Michael Chiklis. The show was originally advertised as Rampart, but was changed to The Shield. Its gritty and often realistic portrayal of day-to-day police work and the interaction with the public was a screen version of the real-to-life Los Angeles Police Department's Rampart Division, a unit plagued by corruption and claims of excessive force.  The lives of the characters, both police personnel and the general public, often intertwined, and not always in positive ways.
