SEVEN BRIDES FOR SEVEN BROTHERS
September 19, 1982

With music and dance that recall the 1954 MGM musical, California's Mother Lode country provides the backdrop for a series about a contemporary family of ranchers.

SEVEN BRIDES FOR SEVEN BROTHERS
The 90-minute premiere episode tells how a spirited cafe waitress learns - after the fact - that she has married into a parentless but self-sufficient brood of seven rowdy brothers. After her initial shock has passed, Hannah turns her attention to taming the rough and tumble McFadden clan. It's almost impossible, though, when the brothers discover that their bull has been killed. The furious young men suspect Wheeler, a nearby ranchowner who would stop at nothing to force the McFaddens into selling their land. Knowing that the brothers want revenge, Hannah comes up with a plan to capture one of Wheeler's prized bulls to claim as their own.
