Back To Index 7th Heaven - The Complete First Season
 Barnes & Noble Created by Brenda Hampton (Mad About You) and executive-produced by the godfather of TV glitz, Aaron Spelling, 7th Heaven is the gem in the WBs dramatic crown. One of the WB shows that garners consistently high ratings with kids and young adults -- despite its more wholesome content -- 7th Heaven revolves around the trials and tribulations of the Camden family: a minister, Eric (Stephen Collins); his wife, Annie (Catherine Hicks); teenage son, Matt (Barry Watson); teen daughters, Mary (Jessica Biel) and Lucy (Beverley Mitchell); preteen children, Simon (David Gallagher) and Ruthie (Mackenzie Rosman); and Happy, the family dog. Although its never quite clear what denomination the Reverend Camden represents, this family drama makes a point of focusing more on the love, trust, and honesty shared among family members than on specific religious issues. The series doesnt shy away from controversial topics, tackling such subjects as homelessness, premarital sex, hate crimes, and school violence. While these issues generally dont affect the Camden household directly, the series is able to explore these important topics through friends of the Camden kids. The premiere episode, "Anything You Want" introduces the Camden clan and also deals with a common teenage problem when Matt picks up the habit of smoking. Annies mother, Jenny, is dying of leukemia, and "In the Blink of an Eye" centers on her last days. The Camdens learn that a family friends church was burned down by a racist group in "The Color of God," while "Saturday" finds the Rev. Camden counseling a young boy about his drug habit. The always-welcome Peter Graves guest-stars with Barbara Rush as Erics overbearing parents in "Seven Is Enough." Although the series can sometimes get a little preachy when dealing with wrongdoing, 7th Heaven has captured the hearts of audiences with its intelligent writing and believable characters, offering fans a safe haven for family viewing.

Reverend Eric and his wife, Annie, teach their five children (Matt, Mary, Lucy, Simon, and Ruthie) God’s values and right from wrong. The Camden family is not an average American family but does have characteristics that the typical American person possesses. I can relate to Eric and Annie’s teenage daughters, Mary and Lucy, because they make mistakes and have good heads on their shoulders. I can also space out and ignore anything uninteresting that is around me. In today’s society, a close family is very rare. While watching 7th Heaven, you can escape into a world that is relaxing and humorous. I enjoyed the Camdens’ casualness because they can speak to their family members and show the viewers that they can also speak with their own family about their life and what is going on in it.Also Recommended: Friends (Season DVDs), Gilmore Girls (Season DVDs), Touched by an Angel - The Complete First Season Interested in the song lyrics? - Check out themostlyrics.com!
