Nash Bridges: Complete Collection (22 Disc Set)

Finally a remastered version of this series. I have refrained from ordering this VEI product in the past because of dismal reviews that VEI has had over the years, in producing faulty dvd's like this. Based on the positive reviews of most recent, it appeared that VEI finally got the message and released a dvd set that was generally free of defects/flaws in the transfer process from the master.So far, my wife and I have watched 6 discs involving the first two seasons, without a glitch.Obviously not as high a quality of image as a BluRay, but absolutely as good as you saw on in quality of image on televisions in the late 90's when this series started its 6 seasons. It is not grainy or faded at all. I would give the image quality an 8 in relation to new movie releases on standard dvd's. The only anomaly that we noticed is that the DVD's have been mastered to fit wider screen formats than were most prevalent back then , so they stretched the picture slightly, horizontally to fill today's flat screens. It is not overly done, but the characters exhibit a slight shortening and Nash's '71 Cuda is a bit wider on screen. Although noticed it does not detract from why we wanted a decent copy of the series...the fantastic entertainment in the story lines. And we are watching this with my 144" high def, 3D Epson projector, which is a mind blower, quality-wise. So on smaller screens the resolution will be even better than what we are witnessing is being about as good as being in the movie theater with our projection system. Don't hesitate to buy this series based on image quality. It is very good and consistent.The reason we love watching this captivating series is because Don and Cheech interact with a great cast of characters. We especially love the sidebar stories to crime fighting, which included many family interactions. This is some of Don's best work and far superior to the cold stereotype which he played in Miami Vice. His character, Nash, allows him to show an incredibly full range of personality behaviours all the way from tough cop to sensitive family man. He will suck you in with abandon, putting a smile on your face frequently. And the stories do not grow old or stale from one to the other. Each crime is cleverly different in its characteristics and each crime is generally solved within the episode. However, what endears one to the series is the on-going family story line, which ties it all together. Another great attribute of this series is superior script writing, with a LOT of humor thrown in and often delivered by Cheech Marin (of Cheech and Chong fame). Once we started watching this dvd set, it is hard to break away to even watch new movie offerings, etc, because this is so damned entertaining, We look at each other every night asking "Do you wanna watch so and so?" And instant mutual answer is "Nah, lets watch Nash". I am sure you will too, once you get started.Oh, and one last thing. No cursing necessary or needed to deliver all the punch it needs, which is hard to find in visual entertainment today. We are not prudes by any stretch of the imagination, but writers today seem incapable of making a point about anything without the "F" word and various others which prove that they have a poor command of the english language.

works good

This is a great collection of the Nash Bridges TV show. Great product. Thanks very much.

It's not quite Miami Vice, but it is a very entertaining show if you like these types of detective shows.! I am sure some like it better then Vice as well.! DVD quality is ok/good with some episodes very good, especially in the later seasons. I personally would not get the BluRay version for the extra money, but that's just me. It's a fun show and DJ and CM are good together, I would recommend.!

Being a young buck “25” that actually just discovered Don Johnson a couple of months ago the man is a great actor and has me hooked.

I'm glad that the series is now available. I enjoyed watching the series when it was on TV, but appreciate it even more now. There is a stark contrast between the garbage that passes for entertainment now versus the great shows of the 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s. There are a few good programs on these days, but I find that I'm watching a lot of older series and movies these days.The Blu-Ray version of Nash Bridges is very good. I just wish that it wasn't missing 10 minutes of season 2 "Deliverance". I found a 10 minute Youtube video of the end of this episode, so I finally found out what the outcome was. A real oversight by the company that put this together to not check their work.

Best thing I ever purchased. Ahh the memories

So far all the discs work and I love the show. I haven't been through the whole series yet, because I love so many shows that it's hard to keep up. It's got Don Johnson, Cheech Marin, Lucy Lou, the guy who played the mummy in the Mummy movies with Brenden Frasier, the girl who plays Taylor Von on She's All That, the lady who plays the evil watcher on that one episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and many more good actors and actresses.

lo único malo es que en la descripción del producto no te dice nada sobre si tiene subtitulos o otros idiomas, me gusta la serie y por eso la compre pero la descripción del producto muy vaga.

Glad I was able to get this dvd collection as it is unavailable in the uk

もともと好きな作品なので購入しました。日本製プレイヤーではリージョンコードが違うので再生できませんが、PCなら問題ありません。

This has been a long time coming, so it's great to finally have it and at a great price instead of having to hunt down unreasonably expensive single seasons. Unfortunately the great price comes at the expense of good packaging. All 122 episodes are tightly packed into one plastic case which involves the annoying practice of stacking discs 3 on 3, making them hard to pry out and seemingly always in the wrong order so you have to take all 3 out to get at 1. Then there is the picture sleeve the case is inserted into which seems to have been designed for a smaller case: it does not fit over the whole case and is so tight I almost gave up trying to extract the case. Allow 15 minutes for getting at your discs.Once you manage to reach your DVDs you are rewarded. Reproductive quality seems fine and it's a great series. Don Johnson is far more likeable here that he was in Miami Vice and his onscreen chemistry with Cheech Marin is great. The supporting cast are all solid. If you are not familiar with the show, think FUN cop show rather than gritty realistic police drama. There's plenty of action, but the best part is the interplay between the various characters.

Was great to watch the entire series
