              Bridges link treasure island with san francisco's commercial business 
              district, and is a major source of traffic generating revenue for 
              the city. CBS canceled the 
              show after six years of don johnson running about san francisco. 
              Johnson apparently was tired of the show.  
               
              In its most recent season, bridges generated over $10 million in 
              work for city production crews, and earned the city itself over 
              a million dollars, with more than half of that figure coming just 
              from rent for production facilities on treasure island. 
               
              The production also funded hundreds of thousands of dollars of police 
              overtime. Police will now have to find other work to keep busy, 
              possibly including serving and protecting. 
               
              The cancelation is also a major hit to the city's economy in general. 
              This year's sixth annual nashworld convention brought in nearly 
              $700,000 of revenue for area hotels and restaurants alone, not to 
              mention click through advertising revenue on the organizer's website, 
              which may have brought in another five dollars. 
               
              In an effort to make up for the lost revenue, the city is making 
              plans to erect a massive cardboard sign above the ferry building, 
              scrawled with the words "lost our show, anything helps, thanks and 
              god bless."
