Info

Here Come the Brides is an American comedy Western series from Screen Gems that aired on the ABC television network from September 25, 1968 to April 3, 1970. The series was loosely based upon the Mercer Girls, Asa Mercer's efforts to bring civilization to old Seattle by importing marriageable women from the east coast of the United States in the 1860s, where the ravages of the American Civil War left towns short of men.

Pacionsbo Absolutely Fantastic
Ketrivie It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.
Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
LDQ409 I used to watch Here Come The Brides when I was in JHS and HS. I just saw it again on Antenna TV and had forgotten how good it was. I had a huge crush on Bobby Sherman, although I liked Robert Brown and David Soul too. My friend Candy was so excited that a character had the same name as she did, especially since it was Bridget Hanley, who was absolutely gorgeous.I hope it keeps being shown on Antenna TV because it is a well written, well acted show, with lots of heart. A few people have said only season one is available. Hopefully, by now, season two is also, because I have to get it. Until then, I will watch it on Antenna TV.
treeline1 It's the 1860s, and the Bolt brothers own a big logging company in Seattle. Their workers aren't happy, however, because the town (population: 152) is short on women, so the Bolts decide to bring 100 marriageable young ladies all the way from Massachusetts. They can't pay for the trip, so their arch enemy Aaron Stempel agrees to finance it on the condition that if any of the ladies leaves within a year, he gets the Bolt's timber-filled mountain.This adorable family comedy from 1968 is still as much fun as ever. Barrel-chested Robert Brown plays the oldest Bolt brother and he's big and brawny and looks just like a lumberjack should. David Soul is the sensitive middle brother and the youngest Bolt is played by teen idol Bobby Sherman; his character is sweet and shy and stammers. Wonderful Mark Lenard plays the smiling villain Aaron Stempel. With Hugo Montenegro's rousing music and gorgeous colors (the ladies' ice cream-colored dresses and the deep greens and browns of the woods), it feels more like a movie than a TV series.The show is similar in tone to "Seven Brides for Seven Brothers" with burly he-men, dainty ladies, and rip-roaring fun. Will the girls all find husbands? Will they all stay a year? Highly recommended.
dougthomassr The Book was "Ishmael" by Barbara Hambly. "The 'Enterprise' is on a peaceful mission at Starbase 12 when a bizarre cosmic phenomenon causes a Klingon ship to suddenly vanish--with Spock aboard for the ride. Spock's last message from the Klingon ship is cryptic and frightening. The Klingons are traveling to the past, searching for the one man who holds vital key to the future. If they can kill that man, the course of history will be changed-- and the Federation will be destroyed." Contains references to "Here come the Brides" and major characters from the first season including the Bolt Brothers, Candy Pruitt, Biddy Cloom, Aaron Stemple, Lottie Hatfield and Capt. Clancey.
ShelbyTMItchell This was a great show to watch and remember watching it as a kid in moving to TN in 1984. It was on the CBN Network aka now ABC Family. No sex, violence, and/or four-letter words. Robert Brown started out as the star of the show. But then the focus turned to Bobby Sherman as he indeed added sex appeal and became more of the focus of the show. Can't wait for the DVD release!! Future Starsky & Hutch star David Soul is in a secondary role as the middle brother. Loved Lonne as she was the mother figure of the brides. As well as the man that played the captain as he added comic relief to the show. Again this show will remind me of when I first moved to TN and started loving this show. Great family show to watch.
