Nash Bridges

I love watching Don Johnson in all the shows he has done. Johnson carries this series and saves it from being a disaster. From an artistic standpoint, it holds its own. I already miss Johnson but I enjoy the others in the cast as well. Johnson and Marin make a solid, if not stilly, team. This was back when television was television, you know what I'm saying? This kind of character piece needs a tight focus so all of the nuances of the characters shine through. With this culture of ignorance in the Information Age persisting, fed by the corporate media, Johnson has appeared in one of his best series yet. It gets 7/10.

What else can it be. Don Johnson/Cheech Marin had what is by far the best chemistry on the show that makes it so watchable. One other note that I would like to say is that since I used to live in the Bay area during the duration of the series, I always wanted to be an extra on the series. I tried but never really made it through. The only thing that I would say is that since SF was a great place wher Nash and his Sexy '70-'71 Plymouth Baracuda (my favorite classic car!) made it's way onto TV I would really like to see this show go into DVD one of these days since this is by far one of the best crime dramas in history in simialar to The Price is Right of Cop Shows! The only thing I have to say is that since the show got canned back in May '01 I really wanted to see the ending in it's right of way but since the show was getting too expensive I thought six seasons is one hell of a run to begin with! Also the locations during the shows 6 seasons with the Routunda, (season 1 and some of season 2) the Hyde St. Pier (seasons 2-4) and the Embarcadero shelter (seasons 4-6) I would have to pick the Hyde St. Pier as the favorite SIU offices!

Rating 10/10 One of the best shows on TV next to NYPD Blue which is sadly leaving after this season (2004-05) 12th season ending shows!

Nash Bridges was cool mystery show! Nash Bridges (Don Johnson) is a detective fights crime on the streets of San Francisco while driving around in his yellow 70ish Plymouth Hemi Barracuda. He's the typical super-cop on the beat, who always wins in the end. Unfortunately, his personal relationships leave much to be desired. He has two ex-wives, a 16-year-old daughter needing a lot of supervision, and a father with Alzheimer's disease who keeps getting kicked out of retirement homes and dropping by to visit. My mom and my mom's boyfriend introduced me to this show and I thought it was neat. I remember when I first watched this show on USA Network which the network where the repeats were shown while the new episodes were on CBS. They should release the complete series of this show out on to DVD. Before Don Johnson did this show he did the famous TV-show Miami Vice! You might like this show if you like CSI: Miami, Dark Angel or 90210.

User Rating: 10/10

BOTTOM LINE: EXCELLENT!

Nash Bridges is, in many ways, like Miami Vice. Nash Bridges is somewhat like a new Miami Vice, with new suits, a cell phone and more technology. It is a great series, although sometimes has boring episodes. I tape it every time it comes on, and I do recommend it to anyone who wants a good action/somewhat drama series. I give it a 9.5/10 star rating.

IMHO, Nash Bridges is one of the best TV crime drama shows of the past 10 years. I would place it next to Cannon, The Streets of San Francisco, Vega$, Petrocelli, Magnum, Miami Vice, and Jake and The Fatman. Of course, it's somehow different. More action, a more simple plot (times requires)... but I think that's okay. Furthermore, I think "Nash Bridges" developed from a "pure action and humor detective series" to a real story behind the scene. It's a good one - I am eagerly waiting for the 6th season's latest episodes.
