Nash Bridges: The Complete Collection

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.

Used to watch it to try and catch places I knew. Good cast, decent storylines.

100% pleased Thank You

I like the old tv shows. I have several different series and happy with them. I recommend these to anyone who likes the older shows.

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.!

I love this series because it is a great show. It has action and adventure as well as a great deal of humor. Don Johnson is not hard on the eyes either! However, I do have a problem with the manufacturing of the DVDS and the seller I bought from called deep discounts because one DVD had a defect. The DVD said it contained four or five episodes but in the middle of the second episode it cut off in the middle as if the original recording was cut. I asked deep discounts if they would replace the one defective DVD because I did not want to box up the entire set and send it back but they would not because they said it is against their policy. They said I had to send the entire set back for a refund not a replacement. I hate that because it inconveniences me but what really ticks me off is that this has happened more than once with them. This was the second bad experience with this particular company where I received a defective DVD. I intended to avoid buying from them after this experience but I mistakenly purchased from them again and the same thing happened with a different DVD set. I have told deep discounts about my experiences with them but they did not really respond except to apologize. I realize that getting a defective DVD is inevitable because we do not live in a perfect world. However, when the same type of thing keeps happening from the same company over and over and over again I feel there is something seriously wrong with that company and their merchandise. I purchase quite a few DVD sets each month because I am a TV junkie and there is not much on TV these days that I enjoy watching. So, I have a lot of experience with purchasing DVDS from various sellers but this is the one seller where I repeatedly have the same type of problem. Now, I am waiting for the manufacturer to release Season 6 so I can replace the one defective DVD because I did not return the set. It would have been too much of a hassle! I think deep discounts knew that and was counting on it. Don't let this deter you from buying the set because it is a great show but beware of who you are buying from and what their policies are!

I ordered it for my dad for Father’s Day almost 3 weeks in advance. It was set to arrive earlier than Father’s Day so I was super excited to give it to him. Well it didn’t arrive before Father’s Day. And it didn’t update where it was located at and my dad was kinda disappointed. But I contacted the seller and they solved the issue and we’re pretty communicative and apologetic (it wasn’t their fault!) and in the end I received the product and it was in good shape. It turned out alright so I’m pleased and he is happy about it!

This is a really good show and the dvd's worked perfect. No problems at all.

Didn’t fit British DVD players

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

Its a Christmas present I haven't looked at it yet.

Love Nash Bridges

Excellent good quality pleasure to watch no problems at all.
