"The Commish" title ripped off Leo Stapleton's book


The author Leo D. Stapleton wrote a book called "Commish" in 1989 (published in 1990). He was the commissioner and chief of the Boston Fire Department and his book was published by DMC Associates in May 1990 and "The Commish" the TV show aired in 1991-1996. Stapleton should've sued ABC for use of the title.

Is that like Spike Lee trying to sue the Spike network claiming they were stealing his name?
