Hee hee hee.... I, unfortunately, was very familiar with Here Come The Brides. I lived in Okinawa in 1977-8, and they showed it on FEN, the military TV channel, which was the only English-language channel on the island. When you have little to choose from, and are desperate for entertainment, you take what you are given. (Although I did draw the line at The Real McCoys... "Grandpappy Amos!" 0.0 )
However, that familiarity did mean I enjoyed the novel you refer to much more than if I hadn't known about the show. (Fun crossover trivia -- Mark Lenard, who played Spock's father in the series-es/movies, also played the antagonist in Here Come The Brides. Made for some fun little in-jokes within the novel, as that character was later revealed in the story to be one of Spock's human ancestors.)
