Nash Bridges, the San Francisco-based cop show starring Don Johnson premiered on CBS 20 years ago this week. Seen here filming on Bush Street in 1996, Johnson and co-star Cheech Marin became fixtures on the streets of San Francisco even before the March 16, 1996 debut.

Nash Bridges ran for 122 episodes from 1996-2001. The show is remembered for its City locations, mostly seen from Bridge’s yellow 1971 Plymouth Barracuda convertible.

In early 2000, Johnson made headlines after he got drunk and hit on a woman at Mas Sake, 2030 Lombard Street, a Marina sushi restaurant.

Sean Penn famously stayed in character while working on Milk, the biopic of Harvey Milk for director Gus Van Zant in 2008. Some Castro neighbors got tired of their ‘hood being referred to as “the set.” They also complained that the production catered its own meals instead of supporting local restaurants. But, when it came to time appear on camera, Van Zant had plenty of extra extras. Heart of the City celebrates San Francisco in the Cinema. Continue to Classic Galleries…
