GamerTab That was an excellent one.
SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped
Huievest Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.
Myron Clemons A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.
Brownsbros3 It's a shame that this show didn't get more recognition. I think had it not been in the Friday night "death slot" (10pm ET/9pm CT), it would have been a bigger hit than it already was. For a guy that at the time was getting close to fifty years old, Don Johnson still had that charm and leading man charisma needed to carry a series. Cheech Marin surprised me by showing so much character depth. For a guy that was thought to be just a one trick pony with the "Cheech and Chong" movies, he blossomed into a very talented actor. The funny part was that his character was originally going to be recurring, but he was so good, that they brought him in full time.As for the rest of the show, the dialog always included some razor sharp wit, and they also told some very compelling stories along the way. It started out as being about just one guy, but wound up being about the entire SIU team.I had just two regrets regarding the series. I wished they could have kept Annette O'Toole around longer. I thought of all the women Nash was around, she had the best chemistry with him. When they were together, the sparks were very visible. On the other hand, I know that a large portion of the romance hype went to Yasmine Bleeth when she was brought to the show. While I enjoyed her adversarial confrontations with Johnson, I didn't really care for them as a couple. Most of that has to do with Yasmine being 15 years younger than Don. They just looked awkward.The other thing I didn't like was in the later seasons when they started adding more "comedy" characters. I hated Boz Bishop, the white guy who thinks he's black. Every time that idiot came on, I felt like changing the channel. Then there was the time they had Rene Auberjoinois make an appearance as Nash's bumbling cousin from Scotland. The gags were not funny and drug down the whole show.Minus those two items. Nash is definitely a show worth going out of your way to see. It's a great combination of action, suspense, drama, and humor.
Djordje Jovanovic Nash Bridges is one of the best series I ever watch.When first season starts I don't like it but...when I watch next episode and next episode I said to myself "I really like this series"I really like Nash Bridges because it's high action drama about two best cop in San Francisco.Cheech Marin as Joe Dominguez is one of the best comedian in the world and Don Johnson as Nash Bridges is very smart man who knows everything.We must say something about Jeff Pery who like his bes music group "Greatfull Dead" and old Nick as James Gammon.San Francisco is the best place to record this show...hide street,cable cars,Alcatraz island and other thinks in pleasant San Francisco California.It's to bad because of six season Nash Bridges it's small!But this is the best rating series in America..
jprsha I never watched the series until it was canceled and running on the USA Network in syndication. (My Bad!) This is a wonderful show and although it was based on crime fighting, the relationships between it's characters (and I mean characters!) is the primary draw. Not only does the "Nash" character has to deal with ex-wives, a daughter becoming a woman, a dad (Nash's Father) whose dementia is forcing confusing and even tender moments in all of their lives, it's the interaction with all of the colorful characters of San Francisco and the Bay Area in general.The repeating sub characters, Boz, Pepe, Tony B, Jake Cage, Eldon and Tamara Van Zant add a continuing story line and tie things together over the course of the series.Joe Dominguez (Cheech Marin) who is Nash's partner also has his own family issues and ads a comical side to life in dealing with his need for money schemes, a wife from Sweden who launches into tirades of Swedish when she's upset, a son whose job is to pick mushrooms for a living, an older mother-in-law who only speaks Swedish and is a "pot-head", all add another dimension and fills the series with life. There are comments from "Joe" that are hysterical and can only be delivered by Marin. ("It sounded like she said 'You can't drive a fish through a vacuum, unplugged.'")The whole series and the plethora of action makes you feel like you're on a really fun carnival ride full of bright colors and constant action. Instead of giving you a headache, it just makes you feel good.I'm looking forward to the entire series coming out on DVD.
hawk-58 For the first 5 years, this show was outstanding. It had everything - good acting and character development, interesting actors, great guest stars, great locale (I live in the Bay Area and knew someone who worked on the show the first couple of seasons), humor, pathos - everything that makes a TV show watchable and fun. In fact, I was amazed when I looked through the IMDb list of actors who appeared during the life of the show; just about everyone who is anyone on the small screen, and then some. As with all shows, with season 6 it began showing its age and had declined, so it was time to end it. What a great run it was, though! I hope they bring it out on DVD soon so we can enjoy at our leisure without commercials. I rate it 9 out of 10 for the first 5 seasons!
