Nash Bridges and a rainy day

I officially need to go back to work. I sat through an entire episode of "Nash Bridges" today. And I kind of liked it. "Nash Bridges." Seriously.

I have a few defenses for this. It's raining like crazy here. I can't go to the beach or the pool. I could go get a workout in, but of course I'm putting that off until tonight. So, I was sitting on the couch reading a book while my grandpa was watching "Nash Bridges." I started finding myself watching more and reading my book less. This show was captivating me despite the following problems:

1. Cheech is a cop! Is this lost on anyone else? And the thing is, it works for him. If I were going to be arrested, I definitely would want to be arrested by Cheech.
2. Don Johnson's hair is unbelievable. There are a few plot points in the episode I just watched that I was willing to suspend disbelief for (we'll get to these later), but I just cannot swallow the fact that the captain of the San Francisco Police Department's special investigation unit is able to maintain this news anchor hair throughout an entire episode.
3. Don Johnson calls everyone "bubba." And somehow this works for him.
4. Jamie P. Gomez (Inspector Evan Cortez) was shot IN THE THROAT BY AN ASSAULT RIFLE during a bank robbery in the opening minutes and somehow made it back to his desk at the office by the end of the episode, which spanned maybe a week in real time.
5. The group of henchmen in this episode (who Don Johnson describes early on as the most professional theives he has ever seen), pull two high profile bank robberies during the first half hour of the show. Then, instead of leaving town and getting away with it, these PROFESSIONALS stick around to pull off an $8 MILLION DOLLAR FOOD STAMP HEIST. I would love to say that you can't make this stuff up, but someone obviously did and managed to sell it to the producers of "Nash Bridges" to form an episode. Of course the theives manage to kidnap Nash and Cheech and are killed when Nash picks the lock of his handcuffs and drives a 1983 Ford Pinto (that he and Cheech had recovered for a professional baseball player) into the building, blowing it up just after he and Cheech leap from the second story. How did this show ever get cancelled?

I need to find a hobby.
