Judge Shows More Money Love to Johnson

Don Johnson got another big payday for “Nash Bridges,” his San Francisco-set police drama that’s been off the air since 2001. Johnson sued Rysher Entertainment LLC back in February of 2009, saying he was owed millions in profits as the co-owner of the copyright to his popular show. A jury agreed, and, in July, awarded the actor $23.2 million. Judge Michael Stern added 10 percent interest for every year since Johnson and Rysher signed the deal in 1998, amounting to $28 million in interest and $51.2 million total. Though the show only ran for six seasons, it continues to air in syndication in 43 countries around the world.
