Better this time around

"In my opinion, this is a much better release of Nash Bridges than the first season was. While this season is not as loaded with features as the previous one, this season only has part two of the writers round-table continued from the first season, the presentation of the series itself is better. While the first season contained none of the songs by popular artists featured in the televised versions, this season actually contains some of them, an example being the opening song of the episode 'Night Train'. Also, where the first season DVD's replaced its songs (from James Brown to Rod Stewart and the Allman Brothers) with primarily new created instrumental overdubs, this season actually uses other popular music in place of some of its songs. The picture is once again fantastically restored, as was the first season's and the commentary by Don Johnson and others on a few of the episodes is rather interesting. Overall, in my opinion, this is a better quality release of a great series than was the first season."

Can they get it right??

"Can CBS Television get it right? Don't get me wrong. I LOVE this series and I'm willing to pay full price for shows/DVDS, but...



Last sesaon's release was ok. The shows were in order but one essential thing was missing- the SONGS. One of the reasons this show was a hit was because the show used popular songs back when the show debuted. For whatever reason, the songs are not included as originally produced.



This season, the second season, was better than the first but again, we are missing those songs and now the order in which enscribed on the DVDs is in the wrong order. The storyline doesn't match up because of the episode are in the wrong order.



I just ask - How hard is it to get it right? These things seem minor, but when CBS releases the shows and wants, in store, 39.99 for the season, I wish they would get it right, will all elements in tact and included.



It would be nice to see some added extras in the third season, with the songs and in order."

Replace the songs? Forget it.

"For years I looked forward to this show being released on DVD. When it was I didn't buy it right away because I was afraid this show would suffer the same fate a lot of popular TV shows get when they make the transition to DVD. The songs you heard on the show when it originally aired disappear, most often replaced by generic muzak. I'll settle for my bootleg edition of Nash Bridges before I buy this crappy release which does exactly that. I don't think I'm in the minority here either. The Miami Vice seasons probably wouldn't have sold half as much if the music had been tampered with. As Nash himself would say "Save your money, bubba". I'm disappointed."
