Comment: It made have a one of the most terrible titles to every hit the tubes,but it was one of the most wholesome family-oriented shows to premiere for the 1968-1969 season. For the two years that this show was on the air,the action-adventure laced comedy-western series HERE COMES THE BRIDES was a show that took placed west of the Mississippi since the series takes place in the Washington-state territory of Seattle. The series starred Robert Brown as Jason Bolt,and this was the show that launched the careers of not only David Soul,but Bobby Sherman who became a HUGE teen idol during it's run. Producer Bob Claver,who also served as executive producer along with Paul Junger Witt and Stan Schwimmer brought to audiences a down to earth family style show that included some western adventure and excitement in some of the episodes. It was the same Bob Claver who also behind after this series went off the air the family-oriented series "The Partridge Family" that premiered on ABC in the fall of 1970. Robert Brown was outstanding as Jason Bolt. He was indeed the matinée idol type: bold,handsome,intelligent and resourceful when it came to defending his honor,and his brothers in some tight situations. Bridget Hanley was the girl every guy wanted to fall in love with while Mark Lenard was classic as the villain--stoic,miserly and always scheming after one thing..anything to get even with the Bolts and to get the territory and the land for himself. Down right evil. But seeing the great Joan Blondell(a veteran of Hollywood's golden age of the 1930's and 1940's) as the Madame was in a classic by itself. The series had some good stories with some great action sequences added in. A Must See!
