Charming simplistic 60's western series whose purpose is to just entertain. There is usually some small lesson included but it's told in an easy going manner. Many well known actors who were just starting out pop up throughout the episodes. The main cast are all fine, some like David Soul who went on to other things, others like Bobby Sherman, who is very appealing, had a few big years and then left the business but they all work well together. Best of all is the great Joan Blondell full of sass as Lottie the saloon keeper and surrogate mother to the whole town. A nice reminder of when a series didn't have to have deep meaning and grit or be about people who had to be idiotic and mocked by the one of the leads. The excellent theme and credits are an added plus, really suited to the program from a time when shows tried to have a memorable opening so you knew right from the beginning you were watching something distinctive from everything else on TV.

This program started out with a very strong cast and good story lines the first season & then in season 2 went off into limbo. It was a show I enjoyed the first season, then lost interest in it when the cast shifted. I am not sure if it was contracts or what that made that happen.Robert Brown, David Soul & Bobby Sherman were up and coming actors when this show started. As the Bolt brothers, they were a very good team. They board Captain Clancys ship & go to Boston to get 100 brides for the men in Seattle as they have no women. When they get the women back to Seattle, all kinds of little things happen. That includes the evil Stemple trying to throw the Bolt brothers out of business & create a monopoly on the lumber industry & the women.While some of this sounds rough, the women are all New England Puritan types headed by Matron Joan Blondell. Joan is considered the star because by this time she was a grand dame of the screen. Candy Pruitt is consider the hot young virgin with eyes for Jeremy Bolt, and Bitty is the daft comedy relief woman who even has trouble trying to score desperate Seattle men with her own craziness.The catchy theme song & wild Northwest country themes are what caught me into this program while it ran. Candy was good eye candy though a prude compared to the genie I had eyes for. The show had good plot lines early on. Sadly, Season 2 went away from season 1 & the show went off. Would imagine unless there are legal issues the DVD of these should arrive sometime. The series was slickly produced and veteran Wild Wild West director Irving J Moore was behind the camera.It is hard to believe Robert Brown is 90 years old this year(2016) and most of the younger women in this cast are in their 70's if they are still with us.

Living in New Bedford, Massachusetts most of my life I was drawn instantly to "Here Come The Brides" because it brought my hometown back into prominence. This show holds up well after almost 40 years and the color on the DVD is well-preserved. There's nothing like watching a DVD on your computer and this series looks sensational. I wish there was a way to get today's kids interested in shows like " Here Come The Brides" because they recall a much more innocent time when shows could be entertaining without resorting to graphic depictions of crimes. I enjoy those shows as well but still find the old shows enjoyable. It's also fun to see people in older shows who started out in minor roles and went on to become bigger stars, in this case Vic Tayback played one of the many loggers, then went on to play Mel on "Alice"

I thoroughly enjoyed watching Season 1 on DVD, even my husband didn't seem to mind watching! We need Season 2, need closure. Email Sony at [email protected] to let them know how many of us appreciate the wholesomeness of this TV show. Ask them to release Season 2 for us! We don't get choices like this anymore, and even though it's definitely not realistic, it's still a blast to watch, even at my age! The Bolt Brothers were great, doing what it took to keep their town alive. They showed their caring about their town, and about each other. You don't see much of that anymore. Yes, there was what appeared to be a lot of drinking at Lottie's, but rarely anything any worse than that. Watching Jeremy and Candy's romance was just wonderful to a tween-ager. My mother let me stay up late on a school night to see this program. Please email Sony and request the release of Season 2. With customer demand, maybe it will come out sooner rather than later~!
