Nash Bridges: Joe, you remember that electronic tone we heard when I was talking on the phone? You think he could be wearing a hearing aid?

Joe Dominguez: What?
Nash Bridges: You think he could... oh, very funny.
- Series premise was created by Don Johnson and Hunter S. Thompson. Thompson can be seen briefly as a restaurant piano player in the first two episodes.
- Nash shares a playful love/hate relationship with Caitlin Cross. In "Miami Vice" (1984), Johnson`s character shared an edgier, more intense one with pop star Caitlin Davies (played by Sheena Easton).
- Nash Bridges` 1971 Hemi `Cuda (Plymouth Barracuda) isn`t, in fact, a 1971 Hemi `Cuda. It`s actually a 440 `Cuda done up to look like a Hemi `Cuda with a Shaker hood (an option on 440s, but standard on Hemi `Cudas) and a few Hemi emblems.
- Don Johnson not only starred in the series, but co-created it and owned a percentage of it. When the show went into syndication, he did quite well financially.
- The script that Hunter S. Thompson and Don Johnson wrote and pitched to NBC was much darker than the series ended up, and wasn`t particularly suitable for prime time. In it, Nash was a drug addict who was dating the daughter of a wanted San Francisco mafia figure.
