  • I loved this show and I always loved Bobby Sherman. I had forgotten how many stars came out of that show.

  • now I understand why Kurt Cobain had a thing for Bobby Sherman.

  • When I look at this video, I am instantly transported back. I thin of this scene as he was the last boy and she was the last girl and there was that 'look," back a moment in A I then go back to that Spring of Appril '75 when I was the last boy on the Junior High dance floor and Emma was the last girl and we looked at each other with this awkward glare. We hesitantly took each other's hand and the the rest of the evening became a sensual and glorious blurr.

  • Thanks so much - I had forgotten this show and now I remember how much I liked it. Mind you, having Bobby and David to look at sure wasn't hard to take! Great memories.

  • I love living Seattle! I really feel this should be used in a tourism commercial. Because it's true.

  • I remeber when this show came out. I loved it ......still do ..good times for me

  • I remember there was a song on one of Bobby's albums. Can't recall the name or the album but one line of the lyrics was "how slowly each day passes by, but my how the years seem to fly". Does anyone remember what song that was????

  • @gayleputt I think more was "tell me why I remember kisses so tender, promising true love that never came true...where has it gone? Wish I knew. I've tried searching "wish I knew" but can't find it...HELP

  • @SparklyPony1 My sentiments as well-SMILE!!!!!!!

  • If you want to see the "real" Seattle, come to Seattle and take the Seattle Underground Tour. The worlds finest toilet is on display in a glass case, and Seattle never had any houses of ill repute. We did however have a "Seamstress Tax" that the police would pick up ever Friday and we had a LOT of Seamstresses for the loggers. Last "Seamstress" place was closed down in the 1960's

  • I wanted a wife who looked and was as smart as Bridget Hanley. I got an email from her and I almost framed it

  • @SparklyPony1 Thanks for letting me know that I'm not yet totally alone with my fond memories.

  • Boy, I don't think I ever watched this show back in the day once. I never really watched an episode of the Waltons either.

    I guess I just did not go for this kind of stuff. I watched Star Trek, The Immortal, The Name of the Game, Get Smart, The Outsider, Combat ,the Invaders and some comedies. I also watched a lot of Saturday morning programming like the Herculoids, The Banana Splits, Space Ghost, Bullwinkle and Underdog.

  • @johnnystaccata

    If you had watched it, you would have seen Sarek /the Romulan Commander.

    Of course, not as those characters.

  • I was about 7 ,or 8 when this Song and T.V Show came out and I cry just absorbing its lyrics, fondly and with forelorn remembering how innocent those times were, or at least seemed to be; how much we seemed to be loved and love life. I want to go back for at least a week . I want my family life with Mom and Dad. I want those innocent lazy days of summer. I want my old girlfriend, the pizza place, the bubblegum music and times. Am I alone in feeling this way?

  • @jeff62rey - They were special days, weren't they? Nope, not alone!

  • Love love love this song and the show. Miss it so much,

  • I'm from Brazil and I loved this show during childhood. Me and my brother used to watch it. It was really funny.

  • I loved Bobby Sherman & Here Come the Brides!

  • Kurt Cobain brought me here :3

  • One of my favorite shows as a child!

  • i'm a male

  • yep i loved that show was a show i watched with my mom we both liked

  • I remember that show.  I was 13 when it came on.

  • I was in the 5th grade when this series premiered. I loved it!

  • THis show has been my fav since I was 8 years old. Robert Brown brought a wonderful broadway like quality to it. Thanks you for posting !

  • When I was little I saw this show where there was purple lighting on the town and said to my mom "I want to move to Seattle, it's nice 'n' purple."

  • Wow! This one takes me way back to my high school years! Don't know if that's good or not. Lived on Whidbey Island, WA and this was a popular show up there.

  • I named my son Jeremy for Bobby Sherman's character. I had such a crush on him.

  • I watched this periodically when it aired. I live in Seattle now but I haven't met these people! (Unfortunately).

  • this was a great show when i was a kid i sure miss it

  • I loved this show when I was a kid. I liked Bobby Sherman. I wish it was on longer than two years.

    They do not make shows like this anymore. I am glad I grew up then and not now.

  • I loved this show and just knew I would meet and marry Bobby Sheman silly girls dreams and hopes oh to go back.

  • thisshow rocked

  • Growing up I was POSITIVE that I would have three boys and they would be named Jason, Jeremy, and Joshua! I LOVED those names, this show - and the stars. Thanks for the video!

  • grunge is lazy not rugged

  • As I was looking at those muddy kids, I pondered, "Was this the birth of grunge.....in Seattle"?

  • HELLO, ALL. I have Season 1 on DVD and I play it whenever I need an emotional lift. Good hearts, genuine love, loyal friendships, strong family ties, solid, positive values, optimistic story lines all on display. I also love the beautiful, charming clothes. SOCIETY did used to be cleaner, gentler, much more sophisticated. It can be again if we just share these images with the children (My husband and I do). BEST WISHES TO ALL.

  • Wonderful job on the video--thanks for posting it!

  • Just found out who this guy is due to a Simpsons Episode. But I find it interesting to see the positive responses of Childhood compared to today's child hood. I grew up in the 90's. I know things now today are getting progressively worse.

  • It was a great time to be growing up......

  • Thank you for posting this. It brings back memories, Bobby Sherman was my first big crush!

  • hey if you grew up in this time ,its fun to watch.

  • Bobby Sherman was a true 60s icon! having been a regular on ABC-TV's "SHINDIG!"

    this man played a vital part of the Teen Beat years,before landing the co starring part

    on Screen Gems' "HERE COME THE BRIDES" series in 1968. i have a few of his

    records,,and at the time,he was up there,with his music! then there was the spin-

    off from "The PARTRIDGE FAMILY"-"GETTIN' TOGETHER!" in 1971-that sure

    had some potential,although short-lived!

  • at 1:40 sorry no Ponderosa pine in western wash, that's eastern wash around Spokane.

  • Too bad the song came out after the Seattle World's fair in 1962. It would have made a great theme song.

  • @MARILYN19481 should, be Seattle's song , only 39 yrs old , mom liked bobby, used to make fun of, until i started watching "here come's the brides"on antenna t.v. on sunday's @10 a.m. pacific

  • I DONT KNOW WHO MADE THIS VIDEO ,BUT I HAVE TO SAY THEY DID A EXCELLENT JOB,NEAT SONG LOVE SEATTLE ,LIKED THE SHOW ,HAD CRUSH ON BRIDGETTE HANLEY

  • I never cared for Bobby Sherman, but this is a beautiful song!

  • YOu have to be a 60's child with a good memory to remember this one--loved the catchy main tune, Bobby Sherman (looks and voice) and the best looking bunch of lumber jacks and their ladies to hit the small screen. "the bluest skies you've ever seen in seattle" Thank you for posting this--you've brought back some wonderful tv memories for me.

  • oh that just brought me back to those days i still remember the lyrics!

  • "The bluest skies you've ever seen...." Heh, heh,...obviously written by someone who's never lived there! Cute song. I remember this series. Was just a tyke.

  • Just about the dumbest series ever but I enjoyed it when I was young. I often feel no connection with young people. They are shown stuff just as dumb but it is often so weird and violent. This one was pretty geeky but nice and fun.

  • I loved this show; wow tv has changed so much. Not for the better either.

  • I remember this show and I remember, given I was 3, loving it. Loved the song and had a crush on the red head...Bridget 'something'...! Was like 'Gunsmoke' with music, which I did not like but my g'mother did (though I doubt she understood half of it as she was born and raised in Italy), so we watched it. I still enjoy the song, I think, or maybe just the memories the song reminds me of in my life. More innocent. Less drama and trauma and confusion. Even paid for song from itunes. Good memories,

  • Anyone else notice how small the dormitory was considering it had to house 100 women? Boy, it must have been cramped!

  • Seven Brides for Seven Brothers ..... A small memory of the early 70's

  • I loved this show and glad my local station has started running it on Sunday mornings!

  • I love love love this!!

  • Oh, how I loved this show! Agree with you, Jannieja, that was a wonderful period for TV. *sigh* It was great for Pop music, too. So many happy tunes with an actual melody, and you could EVEN understand the words they were saying.

  • With maturity my eyes are ALL for the oldest Bolt brother!  Bobby Sherman was the one I drooled over as a kid but now...well he seems SO young!

  • @chavah5760

    I loved this show when I saw it in prime time, back when I was eleven. But while I remember Bobby having a nice voice, Jason Bolt was ALWAYS the one I drooled over. Second on my crush list. First was Edward Mulhare as Captain Daniel Gregg on The Ghost and Mrs. Muir. Both shows started in the fall on 1968 and were cancelled after only two seasons.

  • Loved this show. One of my all time favorites.

  • Jason, Jeremy, Joshua, Candy, Biddie, Miss Lottie and Capt. Clancey. Fun charactors. Yes even Aaron Stemple.

  • I grew up mainly on early 80's action shows/cartoons, but this looks like a show that would be worth seeing, if only for the great theme song. It looks a bit like the reruns of Gunsmoke that used to air on saturday afternoons in '85.

  • Wow!! David Soul was fine!

  • Here Come the Brides-Loved this show and the song. Have chosen a long version done by Bobby Sherman showing a lot of scenes from the show. Fun times on TV.

  • Bridget Hanley as Candy was my second celebrity television crush. The first was Barbara Feldon as Agent 99 on Get Smart.

  • What a pretty song. The show looks wonderful; I'm surprised I wasn't devoted to it.

  • OMG...I so never missed an epi when this was on..

  • This would have been a great theme song for the 1962 World fair.

  • Great Show !

  • I was about 10 or so when Here Come the Brides was airing on Friday nights. I remember all of us guys thought Bridgit Hanley was a real cutie and all the girls liked Bobby Sherman. I remember teasing my cousin Kim by telling her she was lying about liking Jeremy and that I heard she really liked Clancy, the old Irish guy....LOL. I miss those days so much.

  • @ridgerunner721601 I still have the "Ship in a bottle" model of Clancy's boat my Grandfather made for me when I was a kid. I wonder whatever happened to the real one used in the show?

  • @AliceFan1 LOL...There's no telling. A lot of that kind of stuff is auctioned off by the studios. It would be nice to be able to afford something like that.

  • I was 8, I loved this show... I watched tthem all. wow! what a Blast from the Past! lol

  • I loved this show!! I couldn't wait for, I think it was Friday nights, to watch it when I was a kid. I had a big crush on Bobby Sherman (who also sings the theme song). I found this because I was watching some Elvis vids, then it made me want to look up Bobby's music, then it led me to this. Memories...

  • I remember this from my childhood, and I just have to say the comments on here are hilarious. "Bring back these kind of good clean shows". "Those were the days" etc.

    What's the moral value in sappy inane escapism? It was the Vietnam War. There were worldwide Revolutions in '68! Were you people totally checked out? No wonder we went to crap.

    If you don't watch crappy network reality shows, we are living in the Golden Age of television. The Medium has finally come into its own!

  • I loved watching this show! I'm a 57 classic. I would watch it again. Wise up T.V. Land.

  • I haven't seen this program since it was first released. I was living in Ohio at the time but I now live in Seattle and I love it here!

  • Is that David Soul in 1:57?

  • @pufferfish75 Yes, that is David Soul.

  • @pufferfish75 yes

  • I missed those family shows in 60's. It was all clean and entertaining.

  • Dear Lord, I miss shows like this- what in the world is happening to our planet? I wish they would bring back great acting and entertainment like this- not the trash that's on TV today!

  • Perry Como had the hit version. Believe a studio group did it for the show. 

  • Yes Bridget Hanley --- Whatever happened to her? All the young guys thought she was hot--- 

  • I agree with jannieja.

    Those were the days.

    George Vreeland Hill

  • great voice!Seatlle is real;y blue and green!

  • What a wonderful tribute! I have nothing but great memories of this show.  Thank you for creating and sharing this.

  • Whoever put this up, THANK YOU!

  • Okay, now I know I've gone back in time. I remember having a crush on Bridget Hanley, and I remember Joan Blondell, David Soul and of course, Bobby Sherman in the show. Good clean shows back then unlike the profane disrespectful garbage we have today.

  • @Beautifulmusiclistnr Bridget Hanley! I could not remember her name. She was big in the 70's, as I recall. She was a doll!

  • @kezm1310am Bridget Hanley was on an episode of The Brady Bunch one time as an actress named Myrna (in that instance pronounced Meerna ;) ). While looking at some stuff for Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, I just noticed that today is Bobby Sherman's Birthday (# 67). He was always a nice guy, and he's an EMT now. Happy Birthday Bobby. God Bless you!

  • @Beautifulmusiclistnr: i totally agree- i miss shows like this

  • I loved this show! I was a young girl and thought Bobby Sherman aka Jeremy was so cute.me,.my sister and cousin .use to act out the show and made our own words,,,,Those were the good days.... Wheres Bobby at ??

  • What a GREAT tribute Thank you for sharing it with us, brought back a TON of memories..... Bobby Sherman does a fantastic job with this song ( as does Perry Como on his hit version of this tune) YOU ROCK Klaatubes !!!!!

  • What a GREAT tribute Thank you for sharing it with us, brought back a TON of memories..... Bobby Sherman does a fantastic job with this song ( as does Perry Como on his hit version of this tune) YOU ROCK Klaatubes !!!!!

  • HERE COMES THE BRIDES had EVERYTHING POSITIVE. Characters with genuine integrity, solid sense of community; people looking out for each other. So nice to be reminded how open and unspoiled the landscape used to be. THANKS FOR POSTING! I'm going to get the DVD so my children can see what quality television looks like.

  • Wasn't Bobby in Shindig-like the host-??or was it Hullaballoo?? Argh!! Anyway, I loved him..!

  • Also from that era-born in 61. Watched this show mostly because it was a feel-good type show with some likable characters. To be truthful though, the show was full of fashion anachranisms, archetypes & cliched story lines. At my age, that was acceptable. I just loved Bridget Hanley. 1 of my youngest crushes-never forgot her. She (& Bobby to a point) was the only reason I was sad to see the show go. It was mediocre at best. In hindsight, wardrobe looked less genuine, and more like costumes.

  • I loved this show when it aired but it was a bit progressive and didn't last as long as it should have. Thankfully season one is out on dvd and I encourage everyone to buy it so that the company will see a need and release season two. Please do the same with Room 222 so we can see future seasons of that great show as well.

  • I should get off my butt and actually meet Bridget Hanley since she lives fairly close to where I live. I keep putting it off.

  • AMEN jannieja!! =)

  • One of my all time favorite shows. Bobby Sherman was my teen idol back then and I still love to listen to his music. Thanks for the video!

  • Douglas fir, hemlock, cedar...no native pine trees though. Not in Seattle.

  • Susan Tolsky was a cutie!

  • Gawd. I forgot how corny this was.

  • This was a good show. I wish someone would make a tv channel with these kinds of shows on it. I'll bet that kids would like it too, just like we did.

  • what ever happened to Bridget Hanley? You never hear anything about her anymore..She was very popular when i was little..

  • I have not seen this show since I was 10, when it first aired on ABC. Love the clips you used to make this video. Lots of real outdoor shots and some nice camera work. Oh ya, also the home of my second crush - Bridget Hanley aka Candy Pruett.

  • I loved the year we focused on Northwest History in elementary school (3rd grade back in the 70's), and this song was a favorite in music class! 6th grade was the Old Prospector's Song..."surrounded by acres of cla-a-ams!" Yes, Puget Sound comes with its own culture, gotta love it!

  • Excellent . I have not heard that for awhile. 11 or 12 before life really began !  wow thanks

  • Thanks for the memories. I grew up in Seattle and was 8 yrs old when "Here Come the Brides" debuted. What a stud Robert Brown was, but of course Bobby was quite the cutie, too.

  • 1:28 ....nice teeth =p

  • Beautiful, Heartwarming song, Just love it. Such great memories, so glad I was raised during this time. I actually feel sorry for kids today, things used to be so much simpler and wonderful. It 's a harsh world out there now.

  • still my favorite show of all time:)

  • Can someone please post the lyrics?

    I am hard of hearing BUT remember this show on TV.

    Thanks.

  • Very Very nice editing!

  • Be sure to buy the book, "Gangway,Lord [The] Here Come The Brides Book" by Jonathan Etter. Its great!

  • I hope they release season two soon. Bridget was wonderful on the show.

  • I can remember this TV show from back when I was a little girl in the 60. Seattle certainly isn't anything like that now. Still it's a fun city to visit.

  • The studio group "the New Establishment" song the song on the show.  Perry Como had the hit recording of it.

  • Perry Como had the hit version. I thought it was the one used in the show.

  • Cool! I love that show.

  • On the rare days that you can see the sky, it probably does look a little extra blue. Like the rest, I thought all was lost, then along came youtube to bring back the dreams of our youth.

  • I bought the complete series on line from the states....the quality on a few shows isn't the best but you can still see them and it is the whole second season...I'm not too picky..I'm happy with it..

  • @dakotahstr Where can you buy the whole series? Please let us know soon.

  • i loved it

  • i heard this song first on The Critic. when that woman mistaked Jay Sherman for Bobby Sherman. but i can tell yeah, Jay sings this song so much better

  • I like when they clear cut forests :)

  • Thank you for the absolutely fantastically wonderful memories! Beautiful job putting together the clips--they fit the song so nicely.

  • Comment removed

  • OMG.... I LOVE THIS SHOW>>. Bobby Sherman was my biggest CRUSH :)

  • I love this show..I wrote to Robert Brown a month ago.....he's still going strong..my fav character on the show ..the show stands on its own tho...it was great and still is..I have the whole series so I can go back anytime...

  • Dakotahstr, how on earth did you get the entire series?? They've only released season 1 on DVD. Lucky you! I am dying to find out what happens to all of them in the second season!

  • Ahhh, yes. The late 60's and early 70's. LOL Hippies, drugs, decadent rock stars, Woodstock, Charles Manson, witchcraft, Richard Nixon, The Hells Angels scandals, corny TV shows with actors-turned-singer, polyester outfits, flared bellbottoms, bad hairdos, porkchop sideburns, yellow smiley faces, peace signs, brown panelling, scary movies about devil worship, the rise of the junk food industry, and nobody worried about HIV. Aren't you guys glad that's over? LOL

  • Not all of the 60s was bad. My 1960s childhood and 70s teenage years were cleancut and "geeky" one...consisting The Beach Boys (without Manson lurking around), Shindig, Family Affair, Motown, Easy Bake ovens, double dutch jump rope, eating cookie dough without worrying about getting sick over it, being able to walk to and from school without worrying about molesters,

  • I totally agree !!! It was a relaxing squeaky clean time !! I would not want to have grown up today.

  • well spoken, I would not trade the times I grew up for today's ever mgc2125! For me, it was just such an easier more laid back time filled with friends & the best teen idols to ever walk the earth!

  • @belladeballe All of the above and more...thank you.

  • jannieja, you have hit the nail on the head, go to the head of the class.

  • where are the Pougues?

  • I liked watching this show as a kid -- in Seattle! The only problem has been with the song -- that "scent of pine trees in the air" bit when there aren't that many pines in Western WA; it would've been more accurate to say 'scent of fir trees' instead since they're everywhere.

  • ..and that totem pole is ridiculous! LOL..

  • Aren't firs part of the pine family? Down here in Oregon where I live it seems like people use the terms interchangeable

  • 1968--I was about 6. I was so disappointed when I found out that I could not grow up and go to Seattle to be a mail-order bride.

  • So, who _didn't_ have a major crush on Bridget Hanley? :D

  • You can count me in that club... Bridget Hanley had me "fainting" and I was just a little boy then... hehe... aren't crushes a wonderful part of growing up... ;).

  • I'm back,love this shit :)

  • Oh my God, I had almost forgot this program, but this really takes me back.

  • me 2

  • loved it!

  • I liked this show, it was great. So glad I was born in 1958 and was a kid in the 60's and 70's. We had the BEST shows then. All they are today are crime shows, violence, sex or stupidity. I actually feel so sorry for kids today, they don't have a clue.

  • @jannieja yup i know what you mean i as born 1990 but i grew up like show like here come the brides and i love Lucy and the hardy boys and other great show like that thank GOD i had TV land than most show to day suck really bad

  • @jannieja: i was born in '58 too and i cried when i saw a rerun of this- it really made me miss those great old TV shows too- you're so right- there's hardly anything good on anymore- too much trash and not enough of sweet shows like these !

  • @teceyS3 You're so right! There is just trash on TV now! Watching a show like this makes you really appreciate what we had back then. I miss good clean shows. Try turning on a TV show today without hearing a bad word. It's almost impossible. There is nothing good to watch. I miss the clean and decent shows like this that can bring a tear to your eye.

  • @Beautifulmusiclistnr: i know- i miss this stuff so bad i looked on amazon to get the series on DVD- i don't even go to the theater anymore- nothing decent to watch much there either. i want to get these old shows on DVD and sit back w/ a huge bowl of popcorn smothered in butter and enjoy ! ! !

  • @teceyS3 Believe me, I hear ya! I'm so tired of reality shows. They're just soap operas with unpaid actors. I so miss the old TV shows and movies and old songs. I came across the movie "Hello Down There" with Tony Randall and Janet Leigh here on YT. I also found "Where The Red Fern Grows". Just wonderful! I miss that kind of stuff......the clean stuff, the good stuff. I think I'll get some clean DVD's myself also! FYI, I stopped going to the movies in 1987 because there was just junk.

  • @jannieja I could not agree with you more fellow 58er. We had some of the best tv back then clean and moral and good!

  • Bridget Hanley was hot. Whatever happened to her?

  • love the big beautiful sad eyes at 1:54

  • oh wow, this is great! I was 10 to 12 yrs. old and my mother and I watched this together. My favorite was Bobby Sherman and hers was Robert Brown (now I see, he's a heart stopper). This tribute was terrific but missing a few stars...it needed more Joan Blondell and there's no David Soul. What a wonderful, innocent show.

  • The Song is a classic, but Perry Como is definitely the one who sings it right!

  • Only one brief glimpse of Joan Blondell (kind of, sort of, almost)! What's up with that?

  • This is a great vid. I love Bobby Sherman's voice and you have captured all the reasons why I loved the show while matching them to the words perfectly. Great job!

  • Haven't seen/heard this since it aired on TV. Somehow, I remember the theme song to be much grander, but I guess it couldn't have been since Bobby Sherman sang it.

  • Beautifully put together! Well done - and Thank You!

  • This doesn't make sense. is it 1800s Seattle? this doesn't look like modern (or at least 60s) Seattle.

  • That's cuz it's from the 60's show Here Come The Brides was was set in the 1800's. :) Great show! And the Bolt Brothers! I watched his back in the 60's and still love it...
