For six seasons
beginning in 1996, the CBS cop show
Nash Bridges
was a fixture here. You never knew when you'd turn the corner and see Don
Johnson and Cheech Marin tooling around town in a yellow 1971 Plymouth
Barracuda convertible followed by a camera crew. Though nowhere near the
quality of scripts from the '70s Streets
of San Francisco, Nash, as anchored by aging party guys Johnson and
Marin, became the '90s successor to the Karl Maldin series. Johnson got
into a public relations folderol and potential legal hassle when he allegedly
-
and perhaps characteristically
- got drunk and hit on a woman
at Mas Sake, 2030 Lombard Street, a Marina sushi
restaurant in February, 2000. For the out-of-towner, Mister SF notes that
if every drunk who ever hit on a woman in a Marina sushi joint were given
two inches of press you could climb to the moon on Chronicles. Nash Bridges
was canceled by CBS in May, 2001.
