Goofs:

Miscellaneous: Although Nash Bridges' car is referred to as a 1971 Plymouth Barracuda (the grille/headlamp, mirrors, and tail light configuration is that of a 1971 Plymouth Barracuda.) The actual cars used were 5 Total, (4) 1970 Plymouth Barracudas and (1) 1973 Coupe (used as FX Car)converted to look like 1971 Hemi Cuda Convertibles. None actually had a Hemi motor, but rather 318-440 motors. 1 stick and 4 automatics.

Quotes:

Great Show

One of the best cop shows I have seen on Television in years and I still watch the old 60's programs a lot.

The only down side is Jamie Gomez, this guy couldn't act if his life depended on it.

Don Johnson has scored another winner after his successful run with Miami Vice.

I only wish they would have kept the program on for a few more years...the way they ended the final season allowed for a possible return.....but reruns will have to work for now although it would be cool to see Don and Cheech make a television movie similar to what they have done with the Waltons.
