If you look at the premise of Here Come the Brides on paper, the whole series sounds rather bizarre: three brothers head East to find 100 young women who agree to move to untamed Seattle to marry the single men in town. The potential brides have to remain in Seattle for at least a year. If they don't, the siblings could lose their family business. But this show isn't set in a society where there's a Starbucks on every corner. Rather, it takes place in the late 19th century. Add some sassy dialogue and throw in Bobby Sherman and David Soul as youngest brother Jeremy and middle brother Joshua, respectively, and voila! The show evokes charming innocence, if not antiquated notions of how the sexes should behave. The episode in which a visiting Mormon bogarts four of the women for his own brides isn't so much shocking as it is curious. Why aren't the local men more worked up that this could cause some of their own to be without brides?
The series, which lasted just two seasons, premiered on television in 1968 and helped springboard Sherman into a teen idol. The acting on the show by Sherman and his cast mates at times is self-conscious and stilted, but they share good chemistry and have fun with the scripts. One of the better-thought-out episodes aired early in the season. Jeremy's stuttering is miraculously cured by a charismatic magician (played by the late Jack Albertson, who ate up the scenery with relish), who turns out to be somewhat of a charlatan. The ending drives the point home that Jeremy needed as much faith in himself as he had in the magician. Like the series itself, yes, the sentiment is predictable. But it still makes for good TV. --Jae-Ha Kim

This set of 26 episodes from my favorite show as a teen is a great bargin and filled with wonderful memories. I highly recommend it.

The quality of the dvd set is excellent. It was shipped quickly, and it was the cheapest price around.

I've enjoyed watching all 26 episodes of the First Season....and even though I still feel more than a bit disappointed that SONY didn't spring for the use of the amazing THEME song, I have to recommend it highly.
Now if only they would take a chance on releasing the Second Season....and consider having the Theme song Seattle as one of the BONUS EXTRAS, I'll feel much gratitude.

I loved this show when it ran in 1968 and I am enjoying it again. It's nice to be able to see it again. If you are a Here Comes the Brides fan, I highly recommend it!.
