This program started out with a very strong cast and good story lines the first season & then in season 2 went off into limbo. It was a show I enjoyed the first season, then lost interest in it when the cast shifted. I am not sure if it was contracts or what that made that happen.
Robert Brown, David Soul & Bobby Sherman were up and coming actors when this show started. As the Bolt brothers, they were a very good team. They board Captain Clancys ship & go to Boston to get 100 brides for the men in Seattle as they have no women. When they get the women back to Seattle, all kinds of little things happen. That includes the evil Stemple trying to throw the Bolt brothers out of business & create a monopoly on the lumber industry & the women.
While some of this sounds rough, the women are all New England Puritan types headed by Matron Joan Blondell. Joan is considered the star because by this time she was a grand dame of the screen. Candy Pruitt is consider the hot young virgin with eyes for Jeremy Bolt, and Bitty is the daft comedy relief woman who even has trouble trying to score desperate Seattle men with her own craziness.
The catchy theme song & wild Northwest country themes are what caught me into this program while it ran. Candy was good eye candy though a prude compared to the genie I had eyes for. The show had good plot lines early on. Sadly, Season 2 went away from season 1 & the show went off. Would imagine unless there are legal issues the DVD of these should arrive sometime. The series was slickly produced and veteran Wild Wild West director Irving J Moore was behind the camera.
It is hard to believe Robert Brown is 90 years old this year(2016) and most of the younger women in this cast are in their 70's if they are still with us.
