Where you a fan of Here Come the Brides? If so, what are some of your favorite episodes of the classic western? Let us know in the comments. Here Come The Brides debuted on ABC on September 25, 1968. The western series was loosely based on Asa Mercer’s real-life efforts to bring civilization to frontier Seattle in the 1860s by shipping in marriageable women from the East Coast where the American Civil war left many towns short of men. The show, despite being somewhat dated and misogynistic by modern standards, is considered to be a classic. Even so, it only aired for two seasons before being canceled in 1970. Its first season was well received, but after changes to its format were made during season two, its ratings took a massive nosedive.

The producers of the series claimed that the show was based on the 1954 film Seven Brides for Seven Brothers. Unlike other westerns of the mid-20th-century, Here Come the Brides featured very little gunplay or violence. Generally speaking, whenever there was any onscreen conflict, it was limited to comical fistfights.
This decision was made to keep with the restrictions that had been implemented to curtail television violence at the time. The show’s stories highlighted the significance and importance of cooperation, interracial harmony, and peace-seeking conflict resolution. The majority of the series’ plots gave audiences a mix of drama and humor. It was also notable for being one of the first shows targeted toward younger women. Because of this, most of its humor was made at the expense of the men. Very few shows that came before it was able to accomplish what Here Come the Brides did, and really few have since.
While Here Come The Brides only aired for two seasons, it left behind a very significant mark on television. Watch this video in full to discover why, despite enjoying a lively fan base, the series ended up getting the ax so early on in its run.

My friends and I watched the show all the time and discussed it the next day, and of course we all loved Bobby Sherman!!
We're happy to know that you love the show. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. If we may ask, which episode did you like the best?
Bobby Sherman turned eighty years old today! We watched the show every week. I was ten in 1969 - Brides and Room 222 were must watch for a lot of families.
Loved this show, remember watching the very first episode with my parents in Tacoma. Also loved room 222.. had a crush on Karen Valentine.
@@Bercyable I also had a major crush on Karen! Somebody finally uploaded what looks like every episode of Room 222 to TH-cam. I've been watching, lots of great memories.
Think she was in a few "Love American Style" too. She was just the perfect student teacher. But really 222 touched on lots of issues not dealt with previously.
@@Bercyable Exactly. Since I've been watching it so many years later, 222 was actually groundbreaking for the era. They tackled teen pregnancy, drugs, alcohol, race relations, etc. They did it with straight ahead honesty, didn't pull any punches.
Me too 😊😊😊
A thousand times better, more entertaining and uplifting than the nonsense they put on today. God bless America from your Aussie friends.
all the major cast members were very good actors, check their resumes, most TV actors don't have the same level of training today
God bless you too!
Loved this show! I was in 8th and 9th grade,and had pics ofBobby, David and the rest of the cast all over my bedroom walls! I still make clothing like that!
We're happy to know that you love the show. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. If we may ask, which episode did you like the best?
You make historic clothes like that? Very cool.
My family and I really enjoyed this show hated to see it canceled. The Bolt brothers were always involved in something going on in Seattle or they were always busy trying to save their mountain where they were harvesting timber to sell to Stemple, who was always trying to get their mountain in any underhanded way.
Have enjoyed watching the re-runs...Well acted and nicely written show...I'm 74 and was in 'Nam from 1967-70 so I missed out on
the original run...Also missed out on the last half of the last year of The Fugitive...BUT thoroughly enjoyed all the original showing of The Outer Limits and the best show ever-The Twilight Zone!..
Born and grew up in Alaska so Seattle was my kind of turf too...
Thank you for your service.
@twilightzone7600 Heartfelt thanks for your service to our beloved country! God bless you!
❤️🇺🇲❤️
I was one of those who watched the show in Seattle. I was 5--6, and watched it with my mother and older brother, and we all loved it. For years after the show left the air, local radio stations continued to play Como's rcording of "Seattle" ( I don't know if they still do). It would be the perfect time for a roboot of this wonderful, fact-based show.
We're happy to know that you love the show. In your opinion, what is its best episode?
I love this series. I was young but remember the lyrics to the opening as if it were yesterday.
We're glad to know that you love the show. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. If we may ask, which episode did you like the best?
Thank you for talking about here comes the brides my late mother adored this show she was 13 In 1968 when it came on and she said it taught her how to be marriageable just like the brides and how be a good wife she wasn't a Bobby Sherman fan she just love the show but you're right the quality of season 2 is bad she did not like season 2 she always loved the first season she passed away from cervical cancer in April 2018 but if she was alive she would thank you for talking about her number one favorite show ever and I thank you so very much because as long as we talk about the show my mom spirit will live on😇
I loved HCTB and had a big crush on Robert Brown, who in retrospect was my dad's age LOL!
I was in eighth grade in a small town in Northern Canada when the show was canceled. Most of the girls in our grade signed a petition to bring the show back which was then sent to KOMO in Seattle. We really thought that our 50 or so signatures and imassioned pleas would be just what the channel needed to see to reverse their decision. We were heartbroken when it didn't work!
Sadly two of the main cast members - Bridget Hanley and Robert Brown have died not that long ago. Hanley in late 2021 and Brown in September. Some friends and I were watching the pilot episode of the show and we were cracking up at the "1800s eastern women" because it - like Gunsmoke, Bonanza and a few other westerns of the era made it look like Carnaby Street! Hahaha!
True, may Bridget and Robert find peace. Thank you for sharing your life story. What other types of video would you like to see on our channel?
Susan Tolsky who played Biddie also passed away, just 3 weeks after Robert Brown, Oct 9, this year, 2022.
Sadly only two of the main stars of HCTB are still alive. Bobby Sherman and David Soul. Robert Brown /96/ and Susan Tolsky /79/ both died 2022 (as mention). Dec 15th, 2021; Bridget Hanley died of Alzheimer’s at 80 years old. Back in 2019; Mitzi Hoag who played Miss Essie /86/ died Feb 26th, 2019. Bo Svenson /81/ who played Big Suede and became Miss Essie husband is still alive as of 2/11/23. We lost Capt Clancy (Henry Beckman) /86/ June 17th , 2008. Mark Lenard -Aaron Stemple- died Nov 22nd, 1996 @ 72. Joan Blondell was by far the oldest on the show (born 8/30/06) died on Christmas Day in 1979, she was 73. While paired with Clancy (Henry Beckman), she actually was 15 years older; she born in 1906 and he 1921. I see by the many tributes to show; many here (like me) probably thought of the show Brides characters as “relatives” or friends. The actors/actresses, the storyline(s) and the music /Hugo Montenegro/ was top notch. I read some on the show and the cast got along very well and enjoyed working together - AND IT SHOWED.
For some strange reason, the name Aaron Stemple got a line thru it,
The actress who played Biddy Susan Tolsky also died last year.
I was between seven and nine when this show ran, and its theme-song is (pleasantly) a permanent part of my musical memory. My mind's ear replays this song regularly, even now in my sixth decade. 😊💜
(It has a certain turn-of-melody that makes me feel like I've topped a rollercoaster peak at high speed and I'm suddely weightless for a few moments. There are a few melodies that give me that odd but exhilarating sensation.)
We're happy to know that you're a fan of the show. In your opinion, what is its best episode?
@@FactsVerse, goodness I was too young to remember much more than the theme song. It _was_ a show I looked forward to as an eight year old! 👩🦳
amazing this show still has viewers, saw it as a kid, and sad so many of the cast are gone now
Still love it, Susan Tolsky🤢 notwithstanding.
Sadly time moves on. Every 12 months, everyone ages a year and this show was made over a half a century ago.
@@michaelmckenna6464 yes only Bobby Sherman is left from the principal cast
I was 2 years old when this show came out. I remember watching it. Had a crazy crush on Bobby Sherman. When I was a little older I would beg my mom to buy the cereal the had the cut out record of one of Bobby’s songs. She let me play it on our mid century media center. Good times!
Us too! Thank you so much for bringing back memories. Which episode of the show appealed to you the most?
@@FactsVerse I was too little and can’t remember specific episodes, but remember how the show made me feel so happy and of course how cute Bobby Sherman was.
Bobby was on Boxes of POST Raisin Bran ! They also had the Archies on HoneyComb and Sugar Crisp . Sugar Crisp also had The Sugar Bears. On Puffa Puffs Rice - they had The Monkees. (I collect old cereal boxes -- so I know all this !) . Also LOVE Quisp and Quake !
We had it translated in french in Québec and was obsessed with it. Well, mostly obsessed with Bobby Sherman. Even today in my 60's, I might still be in love with him. No, rectify that... I am still in love with him. ❤❤❤
It's a shame that so many people were out of work because of bad decisions by a few bone-head TV executives, who no doubt kept their jobs while their victims got unemployment.
TV is really an advertising medium, ratings decide what stays or goes, ratings make shows profitable due to ad revenues, if you don't get that, the show goes away,
I didn't watch the show, as it came out when I was 8 and couldn't understand it. But I LOVED the theme song in those days! I just started watching them on TH-cam recently. I really enjoy them!
So sad Robert Brown died recently. A great under appreciated actor.
Absolutely, we feel the same way! Thank you for sharing your sentiments and for watching our content. What other types of video would you like to see on our channel?
Robert Brown appeared on an episode of Star Trek, the original series. From Ms. Harper Stacey.
@@harperstacey9604 oh he appeared in many tv shows. One of my favorites was an episode of "Colombo" "Playback" with Oskar Werner, Jena Rowlands and Martha Scott.
In his 90s
Only Bobby Sherman and David Soul survive.
Robert Brown and David Soul also guest starred on Star Trek episodes.
Fun stuff, thank you for sharing this information. What other types of video would you like to see on our channel?
David soul was married to Bobby Sherman's ex-wife, Patti. From Ms. Harper Stacey.
Typical network suits doing what they do best: screw up a sure thing. "You know we got a real winner here so let's change the format and move it to Friday's where our core audience is not at home".
they must have secretly HATED the show and wanted to kill it as they essentially used the same method that killed Star Trek, lol!
Star Robert Brown was cast as Lazarus on Star Trek. David Soul was also a star trek guest star
I can't remember any episodes, but I loved that show when it was on the air over 50 years ago. Bobby Sherman was a pop star at the time and I liked his singing.
While my sister was the David Cassidy fan, I had the Bobby Sherman records , still do
No worries, we understand. If we may ask, what is your all-time favorite show?
@@FactsVerse Around 1972, my family and I went to the wax museum in Seattle, and there was a display of the three main ladies in the show, standing on their front porch. Next to it was a photo of Seattle from the time the real Mercer girls lived in town...and there was the real house they lived in. The show used an EXACT REPLICA of it.
the amazing thing is how many people remember the show even today and it finds a new audience once people see it, so sorry the cast of the show doesn't know this, they would be very pleased I am sure, they are all missed
This was my favorite show growing up. My Dad and I used to sit on the couch and watch it together. I had a crush on Bobby Sherman and his posters were on my walls in my room. They don't make good shows like this any more.
I loved this show when it aired. My older sister also watched it, mostly because of Bobby Sherman. I was sad when it suddenly disappeared.
I loved this weekly series. I wish they made clean shows like this show. I am tired of the trash they put on TV these day.
We're happy to know that you love the show. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. If we may ask, who is your favorite cast member?
Too funny. The women brought to Seattle to marry all the single men were mostly prostitutes.
My favorite memory from the show was when Jason Bolt gave an educated woman his spiel about Seattle. When he mentioned the low amount of annual rainfall, she pointed out Seattle was a mud hole and gave the average number of days out of the year it has rain.
Us too! Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts. What other types of video would you like to see on our channel?
@@FactsVerse I like this format of telling about a series genesis, how it began, and what led to its cancelation.
My favorite memory was Bobbie Sherman. I was 10 when the show started in 1968...had the biggest crush on him, who didn't.
Loved this show, and still do. In the late 90's, I ran the HCTB Fan Club. I also became friends with most of the cast. Of the cast, only Bobby Sherman and Bo Svenson, and the two kids Eric Chase and Patti Cohoon, are still alive today, ❤❤❤❤
We're happy to know that you're a fan of the show. In your opinion, what is its best episode?
I could never forget this series. I had such a crush on Bridget Hanley. And I briefly followed "singing star" Bobby Sherman"...who was followed by David Soul. In fact, Bobby's first wife-in real life-was Carnell. Back in the '70's, I'd challenge there was a prettier girl in So. California. For whatever reason/s, she and Bobby divorced. Sadly, she ended up married to David...I'll only say she came in to my shop with a blackened eye at least once. I'd become friends were her father during that time period. Anyway, at Columbia Ranch, they used "the pond" at the NE corner or the acreage for filming. Sometime in the late '60's, they had some kind of fair on the property and a fire started and burned out much of that corner. A devlopment company had wanted that corner (facing Verdugo & Hollywood Way) and ended up buying it from Columbia. Ironically, I ended up working at the Alpha Beta that was built on the spot near where my own grandfather had worked as a property manager from the very beginning until 1960. I guess life does ocme with some strange tie ins among family members. But I should note the Three Stooges filmed on that lot and used to come out through the gate on Pass Ave. I don't know if that small gate is even still there. rl
I watched HCTBS all the time and I'm still watching it on my laptop and tablet. They don't show it anymore , too bad. My family also used to watch it even though they never saw it before because they weren't born yet but they did like when they first watched it. I loved Jeremy and Candy together but I kept waiting for them to marry, I think everybody did. My favorite episode was Jeremy stopped stuttering, that's just one of my favorite ones, in reality I loved them all.
That was a very good one, it all came down to having faith in himself. It was the one with the floods and Mervin the Magnificent came to town and stopped the rain, until he didn’t.
My friends and I watched the show. We used to debate whether David Soul or Bobby Sherman was cuter.
We're happy to know that you love the show. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. If we may ask, which episode did you like the best?
Sherman but I wouldn't have kicked Soul out of bed, either- nor Robert Brown!
It had a golden cast. Biddie was pure genius.
Well said, we strongly concur! Thank you for watching our content and for sharing your thoughts. Which episode of the show is the most memorable for you?
Hi. I don’t really have a most memorable one,but I especially like the scene where Josh and Jeremy sing the Christmas song. In fact I’m gonna watch it right now.
late Susan Tolsky had great talent for comedy, she did many things after this show, Mama's Place etc. she is missed
HCTB actually first appeared in 25 September 1968, not 1969 :)
Yes it ran from the Fall of ‘68 to the Summer ‘70, two seasons. I wrote the Network as did so many others when it was canceled. The change in time slot on a Fri night caused a drop in ratings. I thought some of the second years scripts weren’t as good as the first.
I was one of those prepubescent girls in love with Bobby Sherman who adored the show. Until Donny Osmond came along and stole my 13 year old heart away.
But Bobby still has his own claim on a corner of that heart too. I wanted to be Bridget Hanley. I thought she was so lovely. Wonderful memories!
My girlfriend. made me go out and buy her the "Easy come easy go" '45 record for her back then!
I loved all the Bolt Brothers but my biggest crush was Big Swede ❤
Fun stuff, thanks for sharing! Which episode is the most memorable for you?
In 1968 my mom was 42 and I was 6 and we both had huge crushes on Bobby Sherman. 😊
Fun stuff, thanks for sharing! We're a fan of Bobby too. What other types of video would you like to see on our channel?
I watched HERE COME THE BRIDES re-runs on Los Angeles television as a kid, just when Bobby Sherman's teen idol popularity peaked. Although based on a part of American history HERE COME THE BRIDES, just like the musical SEVEN BRIDES FOR SEVEN BROTHERS, was also inspired by the Roman legend of "the capture of the Sabine women"; a situation of too many bachelors and not enough females to go around.
We're happy to know that you love the show. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. If we may ask, which episode did you like the best?
Also Paint Your Wagon..Clint Eastwood...lee Marvin...Gene Simmons
Barn dance on 7 brides 7 bros. Genius!
Bridgit Hanly was a cheerleader and graduated from Edmonds (20 miles north of Seattle) High School in 1960.
I really liked her character Candy.
Joan Blondell fan. That they would take a powerful winning show, tamper with its basic appeal and then show it at the worst time of the week..... only TV producers could sink into such idiocy.
@@Maria-z3mp - Joan Blondell was nominated for an Emmy both seasons!
The bluest skies you've ever seen are in Seattle . Several big singers covered it.
Including BOBBY SHERMAN
I couldn’t understand the cancellation back then. I don’t remember the shift from comedy to action. I was part of the babysitting crowd on Friday nights. This is what we watched! As teenaged girls we didn’t get sent the little Nielsen ratings books to fill out. However, many of us signed petitions to keep it on the air!
I’ve never seen a rerun and don’t really want to do that my idealized memories to be broken. However, I did see Bobby Sherman and David Soul in concert! Still have my 45’s and albums! Those I cherish!
10 the show is set shortly after the civil war, as was mentioned in the pilot; 2) the Bolt brothers owned a lumber company and aaron Stempel owned the lumber mill; 3) Mark Lenard played Sarek before being cast in HCTB; 4) the show was canceled by Leonard Goldberg (of Spelling/Goldberg Productions) when he became head of ABC and canceled many of his predecessor''s shows. While the show had gone down in ratings and was on the bubble, pre-production had begun on a third season. The source for most of my information ismy friend the late Joanie Winston, a former executive at ABC at the time. Interestingly enough, Joanie and her friends ran the first Star Trek cons and wrote 2 books about Star Trek - Star Trek Lives and The Making of a Star Trek Convention
I love this show.
We're happy to know that you love the show. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. If we may ask, which episode did you like the best?
Bobby Sherman, my butt. The best looking man was Robert Brown. Second was Mark Lenard. I loved this show and watched it faithfully.
You're definitely right about Robert Brown.
@@carolynking5470 Agree, he was a hunky logger, the image made for him.
Mark was a very kinid and gentle man. I had the privilege to get to know him a bit when I worked for a convention organizer from1986 until his death.
The "Bobby Sherman, my butt" comment made me laugh out loud (or 'lol' as youngsters would type)! I love honesty and a good reaction and you ladies are wonderful at both, thankyou. The classic example of a handsome man vs a pretty boy (no disrespect intended). Also, as a general comment, it's always great to see women who are great actresses (does that word still exist?) as well as being pretty and HCTB had more than it's fair share of them.
Was running through some older shows who's theme songs I remembered and happened on to your video. I loved the show, even if I was pretty young. Never knew the situation with it. I remember reading the ST novel Ishmael, and being gobsmacked as I realized the tie in! Now I need to find out where the show is showing nowadays so I can enjoy it again.
Thanks to this show, anyone who had never been to Seattle actually believed Seattle was on the coast. No, it is on Puget Sound, not the Pacific Ocean!!! 😖😵💫🥴
We're happy to know that you're a fan of the show. In your opinion, what is its best episode?
@FactsVerse Actually I abhorred the show. I cannot stand sitcoms. They are all ridiculously stupid. I have not watched TV for many years. 👍👍👍
Lived in Seattle when this first aired and I was around 9 years old. I just remember my dad walking through the TV room laughing when he heard the song "the bluest skies..." as we usually saw rain out our windows. But yes, when it wasn't raining, one sure appreciated that blue sky. It was a fun show and great family entertainment.
Watched this until it was cancelled. I was in love with David Soul.
We're happy to know that you love the show. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. If we may ask, which episode did you like the best?
I was in love with David soul when he appeared on starsky and hutch. From Ms. Harper Stacey.
Oh my gosh...loved the Series..but way to short..😯

Loved the show was so upset it was canceled didn't get to see the wedding of Jeremy and candy.i had such a crush on Bobby still do and I'm 67 now lol
Ditto Vada, ditto
Wife loved the show. She went to college in Seattle
We're happy to know that you love the show. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. If we may ask, which episode did you like the best?
Both Robert Brown (The Alternative Factor - 1967) and David Soul ("The Apple - 1967) also appeared in ST episodes
My Sister and I loved this show! I had Bobbie Sherman's poster on my bedroom wall!❤
I guess I watched the first rerun because I saw it when we came back from Okinawa in 1971-1972 & 1972-1973 when we lived in Spokane Washington. I was 12-14. Bobby Sherman was my first crush.
I can't remember if all the characters had theme music but I can still recall the bittersweet tune they played whenever Essie the School teacher was in a scene. Can't find it on TH-cam though. Yeah my sisters had a crush on Bobby and David also.
You missed two other Star Trek connection:
Robert Brown guest stared in the Star Trek episode, “The Alternative Factor.”
and Kathryn Hayes from “A Kiss For Just So” appeared in the Star Trek episode “The Empath”
Thanks for the addition! What other types of video would you like to see on our channel?
@@FactsVerse i would really love to see 'The High Chapparal' series again. Is there any way you could upload it onto TH-cam?
I bought DVD set for series one, really enjoyable, and I saw it decades ago as a child
Fun stuff, thanks for sharing! Who was your favorite cast member?
@@FactsVerse Robert Brown
Three handsome men made it easy on the eyes.
My favorite line- "We're Presbyterian orphans." Lol
>Clancy to crook>"His Bosphorus is broken! Crook>>Is that bad?>Clancy "There's nothing left but to call for a priest. Go to town and get Father Jason!"
Or the episode where the Brides pull a Lysistrata on the boys to stop the brawling with Stemple's men. One of the loggers climbs a ladder outside one of the Dormitory window and calls one of the girls. Biddy opens the shutters and says" If only you'd called the right name...mine!" as she shoves his ladder over.😆
20 years ago I worked with Jungian therapist (Kris)tina Holland, who played a bride in at least 2 episodes. I was watching an episode on TH-cam and spotted an oddly familiar face. She also had regular role as Bill Bixby's personal assistant on The Courtship of Eddie's Father. I knew none of this until I had been seeing her for months. She seemed a bit shy and embarrassed about telling me about her acting career, I'll leave it up to you to figure out why.
I really enjoyed this series, although it's odd to think of this as taking place in the 1890's instead of the late 1860's. The women's clothes and hats seem based on styles of the late 1860's - early 1870's. One episode featured the famed singer Jenny Lynd who died in 1887, before the supposed 1890's time-frame. Anyway, let's suspend our disbelief and enjoy the series lol. Even as a kid I saw Joan Blondell in movies from the 30's, 40's & 50's so I enjoyed seeing her in this series.
We're happy to know that you love the series. In your opinion, what is its best episode?
Late 1860s to early 1870s. That's a pretty small window to recognize women's fashion styles 150 years later. How old are you?
The Beginning Of The Shows Has A 1867 Advertising For Women To Go To Seattle. So There!!
Also, in the first episode Lottie says to Jason something like "There's been a war Jason, and lots of decent ladies are looking for husbands". Thanks for spotting that 1867 ad and confirming what I've believed all along.
Joan Blondell had a great career, sadly she is virtually unknown today
It was a good show, got canceled way too soon
How could they have missed the fact that both David Soul and Robert Brown had prominent guest roles on the original Star Trek?‽!
I watched it faithfully when it originally aired, and loved it. Surprisingly, I didn't find myself enjoying it as much when I finally got to see it again years later....
Same here. Loved it back in the day.
So, the "Because of this" was nothing more than network time slot shuffling? They should have left well enough alone. I was 5 or 6 When HCTB started. Naturally, I crushed on Bobby Sherman - he was so cute and about my height. Do you guys remember when he guest-starred on the Partridge Family? Purple shirt, leather choker...I giggled like an 8-year-old.
didn't Mark Lenard appear on Star Trek first (which aired a year before the pilot aired?)
I just checked Merk Lenard in IMDB...
2 roles in Star Trek TOS:
Journey to Babel (1967) ... Sarek
Balance of Terror (1966) ... Romulan Commander
Aaron Stempel in Here Come the Brides
All 52 episodes (1968-70)
I was just a kid, about to experience adolescence, when Here Comes The Brides was broadcast, and I first discovered it in summer reruns in 1969. If memory serves correctly, there was a softening of Mark Lenard's character, Aaron Stemple, but I cannot remember which of the brides became his sweetheart. Can anyone help me with this lapse of memory?
Fun stuff, thanks for sharing your life story. What other types of video would you like to see on our channel?
There was an episode in the 2nd season, Another Game in Town, where Aaron Stempel falls for a con woman running a "dance hall emporium", Patricia Vanderhoff. Other than that he was occasionally paired with Biddie, not that she was really his sweetheart, and there was mention of him dating other brides early on.
I loved Here Comes the Brides when it initially aired. I loved again when GetTV aired it on the weekends. Was very very disappointed and sad when Get TV took it off their station.
Us too! Which episode is the most memorable for you?
TH-cam has all the episodes on April Wades Channel. Or just look up Here Come the Brides on TH-cam. You can watch them anytime you like!
@@FactsVerse The pilot was terrific and was like watching the play “7 brides for 7 brothers” and the orchestration of Hugo Montenegro was excellent and fit the show like a glove! The writing and character development kept the show in the top ten all season!
Bobby Sherman 💜loved his music too !
Here Comes the Bride's was a fantastic show & should not have been cancelled.
Well said, we strongly concur! Thank you for watching our content and for sharing your thoughts. What other types of video would you like to see?
We watched the show when I was little, I remember some of it, mostly Bobby Sherman. I had a big crush on him at the time!
Fun stuff, thanks for sharing! Which episode of the show appealed to you the most?
I watched it faithfully when I was very young. I became a lifelong Joan Blondell fan because of it. My sister's infatuation with Bobby Sherman was insufferable.
We're happy to know that you're a fan of the show. In your opinion, what is its best episode?
I loved HCTBs any time I want because I own both seasons and I can watch it on TH-cam also on the Roku channel.
My wife's from Seattle and definitely crushed on Bobby Sherman.
"Fish Face" Clancy!
I see Joan Blondell was in this series. I did not know she had been a bigger star earlier in the 1930's in the movies. I liked this series but I was really little and rarely stayed up to see it because I think it wasn't on until 10 pm.
Loved this show. Especially Josh.
Loved it. The bit I remember is the long fist fight which was the "most violent" bit of TV after the debts of Bobby Kennedy and Martin Luthor King. I was surprised they didn't mention appearance of Brown on Star Trek.
It premiered in 1968, not 1969.
I'm 69 so Star Trek in the 60s and I was pretty young and Star Trek when it came back as there was a lot of negativity when it was canceled as well wait both my favorite shows. My sister and I and friends loved Bobby Sherman we just thought it was weird that the main girl character wasn't with Jason bolt Bobby Sherman looks too young and boyish for her. We all thought that. But also very interesting about the Star Trek commonalities I think besides myself no one ever knew that in fact I didn't even recognize that stimpel was Spock's father until watching this. This was a great review of the series
Loved Here Comes the Brides. Love Bobby Sherman! Sad it was discontinued.
We're happy to know that you're a fan of the show. In your opinion, what is its best episode?
1st Hotelier? 1st Madame!
Never heard of this show before in my life. Perhaps I’ll check it out sometime. I sincerely hope that thing about the lords and ladies was a joke because it had me cracking up.
Just 2 names: Bobby Sherman and David Soul . . . enough said.
finding women to settle the West was a huge problem, women were needed to be nurses, teachers, wives, mothers etc.
I own the second season on DVD. The first season is REALLY expensive, so maybe one day someone will gift me one! Love the cast but didn't care much for the changes in the second season.
Used copies available on a popular website that sells used items. Can't mention here for the censors.
Loved this show
We're happy to know that you love the show. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. If we may ask, which episode did you like the best?
I love it too my late mother it was her favorite show she ever seen😇
Yes. Had a major crush on Bobby Sherman
I loved this show! Robert Brown was SO hot!!
Yes, he was!😍💞💞
Only Just hear about it now After David soul past away ❤
You forgot to state David soul was in an episode of Star Trek return to Eden
nein- it was "The Apple" in season 2
ACTUALLY Star Trek was filmed in the early 60's and Here come the Brides came out in the late 60's
I just looked them both up and their years overlap a little. Star Trek 1966-1969 and Here Come the Bride's 1968-1970
Bobby Sherman was such a dream to my nine year old self...
I grew up in Montréal and the French CBC had it on their schedule Saturdays at 7 pm just before the hockey game starting in 1971.
Loved this show!!!!
The series' rating fell not due to timeslot -- the core audience of young females would have followed the show wherever it landed -- but b/c they married off some of the key Brides beginning late in Season 1, effectively taking them out of the potential hookup mix among the cast and limiting possible story lines. The audience weren't there for the history or drama of a conventional Western (which format was all but dead anyway by 1970), but for the romantic plotlines and mystery that could prevail between a large cast of good-looking, unmarried people.
I disagree. They could have featured a different bride getting married every episode, making for 100 episodes
Adding those two kids - as Candy's little brother and sister - ruined so many of the episodes. There was no reason why the second series had to focus mainly on them, and their relationship with Candy, and not concentrate more on any of the Bolt brothers actually getting married. Fans were so hoping to see Jeremy and Candy get married...but it never happened, due to concentrating way too much on those two kids. That probably turned a lot of die-hard fans off of the show. Stupid producers and directors and network execs ruined what was an excellent series.
I honestly never heard of this show, maybe because it was before my time. But this video is interesting. Thanks for sharing.
You're very much welcome! We're so glad you enjoyed this video. What other types of video would you like to see?
Incorrect - Mark Leonard played Stemple AFTER he played Sarek in Journey to Babel - not before
Thanks for watching! We're glad to know that you love our video. What other types of video would you like to see on Facts Verse?
obviously, a bot answered that after such a horrific story...
I always loved this show
We're glad to know that you love the show. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. If we may ask, which episode did you like the best?
@@FactsVerse That's a hard one. I think maybe the one where that guy gets killed because the workers were goofing around. It had a good moral and was very emotional.
I wish you had mentioned the name of the actor who played Captain Clancy. I have been trying to remember his name for quite some time, but nobody ever mentions him. I remember watching the series in afterschool reruns.
Henry Beckman played Captain Clancy. He died in 2008.
Henry Beckman, born in the maritime Canadian Provinces.
