Stupidest Nash Bridges Moment?

Personally, I don’t watch Nash Bridges, but I have, on two occasions, seen five or ten minutes of it. Remarkably, both were stupid:

Occasion #1: Nash is in a three-way John Woo moment, in which he and bad guys 1 and 2 are pointing guns at each other, Nash has the MacGuffin in hand, Bad Guy #1 has Nash’s girlfriend hostage, etc. etc. How does Nash solve this? He throws the MacGuffin in the air and lets everything sort itself out during the general shooting.

Occasion #2: “And what do we have here? An instructional video on how to pilot a Russian Submarine, dubbed into English.”

How can you pick just one moment?
I could never understand how this show continually beat Homicide: Life On the Streets in the ratings.

They have a set of categories that cause series to turn bad, or “jump the shark” (The one where Happy Days goes water skiing at the beach)
