Product Description:
Loosely based on a true story about the efforts of one man to bring marriageable women to the forests of the Pacific Northwest in the 1870s this vintage comedy from the 1960s was set in a Seattle logging community. The workers are threatening to leave due to the scarcity of women so the camp owners the Bolt brothers (Robert Brown Bobby Sherman and David Soul) do the only thing they can: import 100 women from Massachusetts. The brothers pull this off only by borrowing money from their rival Aaron Stempel (Mark Lenard) whose terms dictate that all the women have to remain for an entire year during which all quotas must be met. If not he takes control of the Bolt brothers' mountain. Much mischief ensues as the girls acclimate to camp life while Stempel does everything he can to impede that process and make them give up.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: TELEVISION/SERIES & SEQUELS Rating: NR UPC: 043396130265 Manufacturer No: 13026

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

The product is everything I had anticipated. It was in good shape brand new and worked well and as I watched it brought back great memories of a time when I was totally in love with Bobby Sherman :) I would suggest this product for anyone who loved Here Comes The Brides as a child, young adult or adult.

As the opening song started, I couldn't help but remember watching this as I was growing up and it brought back such wonderful childhood memories. The video transfer is fantastic. I sat and watched the first few episodes and it just made me smile as I found myself going back in time remembering sitting around our tv with my family watching this show. We looked forward to it each week. I look forward to sharing this now with my own kids and grandkids. Great purchase!

I love this show. I didn't realize how much I missed it until I got to watch the first season. Jason seemed so strong and great at holding everything together. The first time around I was in love with Joshua, but this time, I have to admit it was Jason! This show brought back so many good memories that I almost felt like I was living in the past again. I remember my Junior High School best friend I ran around with back then, who has passed on since, but they were good fun memorable feelings, ... Read More

What a kick I had out of watching this show! I remember my whole family stretched out in front of our TV enjoying this series. The storyline was taken from the musical "Seven Brides for Seven Brothers". Sweet characters and great drama. Bobby Sherman is a dream! I had a hard time finding this one, but finally found it on Amazon!!! Thank you Amazon for bringing back some of my childhood memories!!!!
