Officer Ronnie[edit]

Changed Officer Ronnie to Sergeant Ronnie. Although he did not have a speaking part per se, and was addressed as Ronnie it is evident by the triple chevrons on his sleeves that he was a Sergeant. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.157.33.55 (talkcontribs) 05:15, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

Unintelligible[edit]

What exactly does this mean? "only to find in a quick-and-rich scheme" Rojomoke 11:22, 26 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]


I just watched the first Nash Bridges episode.
In it, Nash describes his car as being a 1970 Plymouth Barracuda, and stated that it was special because they only made 14. If you go to the Barracuda information, you will see that they did indeed only produce 14 of the convertible 426 Hemi.
So all the references here as being 1971 are not accurate.

Sorry to let you know but it was a 1971. 1971 was the only year that they made the cuda with 4 head lights 2 on each side the 1970 cuda only had 2, one on each side. This info comes from wikipedia under 1971 hemi cuda

Don Johnson wanted a 1971 Hemi Cuda convertible for his TV show Nash Bridges. It was more economical to purchase a 1970 Cuda convertible, and then transform it into a '71, by changing the grill and front fenders to a '71 vintage. So, in essence, the Nash Bridges Cuda is actually a 1970 that was transformed into a '71. So, it is both a 1970 and a 1971 at the same time. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:306:33F6:2450:1BA:F874:D593:2AD1 (talk) 19:06, 3 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

(The Barracuda was changed slightly for 1971, with a new grille and taillights, seat, and trim differences. This would be the only year that the Barracuda would have four headlights, and also the only year of the fender "gills" on the 'Cuda model.

The 1971 Barracuda engine options would remain the same as that of the 1970 model, except the 4-barrel carbureted 440 engine was not available; all 440-powered Barracudas had a six-barrel carburetor setup instead. The 426 Hemi remained available, and the Hemi-powered 1971 Barracuda convertible is now considered one of the most valuable collectible muscle cars. Only eleven were built, seven of which were sold domestically, and examples of these cars have sold for US$2 million.

Theme songs[edit]

If someone could come up with more accurate and reliable info on the theme songs. I know there were three different songs used in the initial run. I have also seen a fourth in use for a couple first season episodes in syndication on WGN. I don't know specifics about any of them whether the fourth song I mention on WGN was changed in syndication or actually changed back and forth a few times in the initial run, and information on them is sparse and highly unreliable on the 'net. →ClarkCTTalk @ 05:13, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Altogether, the show had four themes over the course of it's six-season run. The Season 1 theme was drum-heavy and featured a pan flute, and was composed by Elia Cmiral. (He also provided all the episode scores for the first season.) For the second season, Cmiral composed a second theme that dropped the pan flute, but still had a sort of "ethnic" sound and also featured a non-singing female voice. The third theme, "I've Got A Friend In You" (performed by Gigi Worth), was composed by Eddie Jobson (who took over the music duties in Season 2) and premiered either midway through Season 2 or at the start of Season 3. I don't remember exactly. At the beginning of Season 6, Velton Ray Bunch became the new series composer and created a brand new instrumental theme. In syndication runs, I've seen the first two Cmiral themes being mixed and matched on the Season 1 episodes for some reason.

Jumbled Intro[edit]

Someone tossed into the intro paragraph: " In 2010, Don Johnson was awarded $23,2 million royalty by court." Besides just being awkwardly worded, it really doesn't belong in the intro. It is also written in UK English (23.2 not 23,2) which, of course, violates Wiki policy for attempting to change the style of English used in an article - of course, the next step will be some idiot rewriting the article in UK English because this one comma clearly indicates that that is the form of English that has precidence! Got to love Wiki. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.158.61.140 (talk) 12:19, 9 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
