New Headquarters at the Hyde Street Pier - Can NASH Keep Up Its Expensive Location Shooting? (September 21, 1996)
In the second season premiere of NASH BRIDGES, the headquarters for the Special Investigations Unit (SIU) has been moved to a barge on the Hyde Street Pier. The Hyde Street Pier is a floating museum for ships and a tourist attraction near other sites such as the Maritime Museum and Ghirardelli Square. Keep watching to see how much we see of this location is presented and how much location shooting will be done this year. NASH BRIDGES was touted to be one of the highest budgeted shows last year - let's see if this year will be a cost-cutting one or if the show can sustain its expensive location shooting. There were only ten episodes shot last year. This year they've got a full 22 - a potential budget buster.
