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.
