Synopsis

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.

Alicia I love this movie so much
Greenes Please don't spend money on this.
Loui Blair It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.
Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
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.
AliasLostCombo I loved this show growing up! I wish it would return to a place like TVLand! I've sent comments to TV Land asking them to consider running this show and would appreciate it if other fans would do the same, maybe that way if enough people write in, they will consider it! I also was an avid fan of the original Star Trek and would devour the books that were written and couldn't believe my good fortune when one of the books turned out to contain both Star Trek AND Here Come the Brides in it's story line...I've since misplaced that book and can't remember the title...so if anyone out there knows, I would appreciate an answer, you could email me at AliasLostCombo@aol.com. Much appreciated!! Long Live Here Come the Brides and Star Trek!!!
Stephen Alfieri I remember the whole family sitting around watching this show (I think it was on Weds. nights at 8:00). It had something for everyone. Bridget Hanley for me and my brothers, Bobby Sherman and David Soul for my sisters. Good stories, but the series tanked when Candy's brother and sister moved to Seattle. It obviously must not have done well in the ratings, as Jeremy and Candy were always toying with getting married, but I remember everyone in my school talking about it the next day.I would also like to see some of the shows again to see just how good/bad they were.
contone1 I Loved the Series. It was a clean wholesome show. No vulgar language like in the movies today. I was just a kid and can still remember running to the tv to turn it on each week. I only wish that the series would come back to television as re-runs. So many other shows are re-run over and over, year after year, and yet I haven't seen "Here Come The Brides" re-run ever. Is there a reason for this?
