Here Come the Brides is an American comedy Western series from Screen Gems that aired on the ABC television network from September 25, 1968 to April 3, 1970. The series was loosely based upon the Mercer Girls, Asa Mercer's efforts to bring civilization to old Seattle by importing marriageable women from the east coast of the United States in the 1860s, where the ravages of the American Civil War left towns short of men. Robert Brown and Bobby Sherman lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. The series ran for 2 seasons (1968–1970), building a story that gave its audience time to invest properly.
