Three weeks ago we
had the scoop that
Nash Bridges is coming to DVD.! Now we've got the studio's official announcement for this Carlton Cuse-created show.
Before Cuse became well-known as the co-show runner (with Damon Lindelof) of
Lost, he created other popuar TV series such as
The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr. with Bruce Cambell (already available on DVD), and the 1996 series
Nash Bridges starring Don Johnson (
Miami Vice) and Cheech Marin (
Cheech & Chong films). Now Paramount has announced that CBS is releasing
Nash Bridges - The 1st Season on DVD this
October 14th!
Besides Don and Cheech, you've got cast members which include Jodi Lyn O'Keefe (
Prison Break), Jaime Gomez (
Crimson Tide) and Jeff Perry (
Grey's Anatomy), plus first season recurring stars and guest stars such as Annette O'Toole, Serena Scott Thomas, Daniel Roebuck, Lucy Liu, James Hong, Melora Walters, Aisha Tyler, RuPaul, Cynthia Nixon, William Atherton and Valerie Perrine. And that's just in 8 hour-long installments, for the very short first season that began as a mid-season replacement. The show ran for a total of six seasons.
Running time for
Nash Bridges - The 1st Season is 375 minutes, with video in Full Screen, and audio in English Stereo Surround. As we reported in our previous story, bonus material is already being shot, including a "writers' roundtable" with Cuse, Jed Seidel (
Veronica Mars,
Ghost Whisperer, Reed Steiner (
NCIS), John Wirth (
The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.,
Remington Steele, Shawn Ryan (
The Shield,
The Unit). This should be similar to the roundtable extras on Warner's
Brisco County, Jr. DVD set. No other details are available so far, nor package art just yet, but we do have the studio description for you below:
Nash Bridges (Don Johnson) is a high-action drama about a San Francisco police investigator who deserves his reputation as a topnotch cop, but who's not always so successful when it comes to his personal life. As a member of the elite Special Investigations Unit, Nash relies on his streetwise instincts, keen sense of humor and charm to work his magic on the streets of San Francisco.
