I used to watch Here Come The Brides when I was in JHS and HS. I just saw it again on Antenna TV and had forgotten how good it was. I had a huge crush on Bobby Sherman, although I liked Robert Brown and David Soul too. My friend Candy was so excited that a character had the same name as she did, especially since it was Bridget Hanley, who was absolutely gorgeous.I hope it keeps being shown on Antenna TV because it is a well written, well acted show, with lots of heart. A few people have said only season one is available. Hopefully, by now, season two is also, because I have to get it. Until then, I will watch it on Antenna TV.

the years this TV show broadcast were tumultuous in our U.S. VN was ending. Nixon got US troops OUT of VN. Nixon, who opened to the US, the inscrutable China will only be remembered for a common illegal practice: __________fill in the blank. He just got caught. POOOLIZE...HERE COME THE BRIDES took us away from the real world of huge conflict and social misery. HERE COME THE BRIDES presented the consistent, biological adventures of men and women.HERE COME THE BRIDES diverted me and assisted me to get through the animosity of the times. I imagined characters and the era as an escape route, knowing i would have to put it back down eventually.Reality was not altered, BUT I DID NOT THROW MY SELF ON THE REAL AND SYMBOLIC PYRES OF FLAG AND BRA BURNERS. This particular show was a reprieve and affirmation that all going on was transient.It was transient, and i did no drugs, was sexually abstinent, and had both a filial AND COMMERCIAL TV SHOW telling me i was OK.i hope someone in the cast, crew, production, writer or anyone who worked on this show gets my message. HERE COME THE BRIDES along with my family ALLOWED ME to transcend unhealthy fads and grow past the socio-pathology of those days. YES. THE 60ies WERE A SOCIAL MISTAKE, AND HERE COME THE BRIDES GAVE REPRIEVE TO NON=ADHERENTS. l, maureen

Being FROM Seattle, I knew I would like this right away. In actual history a man named Asa Mercer did bring brides to Seattle, and did a good enough job to have my junior high school named after him. I got the DVD and not long after I began going down memory lane I decided this was a series I could share with my young grand daughters who seem to think that Laura and Mary Ingalls are related to them, they see and read them so much. My children weren't born yet when this was on so it is a delight to my daughter as well. For being almost 40 years old this program holds up a lot better than some of the stuff they are making right now. And has a "full" season of shows unlike right now too! Its not brain surgery but it qualifies as great entertainment!

This was a great show to watch and remember watching it as a kid in moving to TN in 1984. It was on the CBN Network aka now ABC Family. No sex, violence, and/or four-letter words. Robert Brown started out as the star of the show. But then the focus turned to Bobby Sherman as he indeed added sex appeal and became more of the focus of the show. Can't wait for the DVD release!! Future Starsky & Hutch star David Soul is in a secondary role as the middle brother. Loved Lonne as she was the mother figure of the brides. As well as the man that played the captain as he added comic relief to the show. Again this show will remind me of when I first moved to TN and started loving this show. Great family show to watch.
