7th Heaven (TV series)
7th Heaven is an American family drama television series created and produced by Brenda Hampton that centers on the Camden family and their lives in the fictional town of Glenoak, California. The series follows the Reverend Eric Camden—a Protestant minister living in the fictional town of Glenoak, California—as well as Eric's wife Annie and their seven children. Although originally produced for Fox in 1996, the show aired on The WB. After much deliberation within the now-defunct WB network, it was made public in November 2005 that the tenth season would be the program's final season because of high costs, which were revealed to be due to a poorly negotiated licensing agreement by the WB network a few years earlier. Along with the show's unexpected and last-minute renewal came some changes. The Parents Television Council often cited 7th Heaven among the top ten most family-friendly shows. However, other critics feel differently about the show, citing 7th Heaven as "arguably one of the worst long-running shows on television". Some criticize the predictable plotlines of each episode, that follow always the same pattern: "One of the Camden family has a problem and/or secret; some sort of "Three's Company"-esque misunderstanding ensues as a result of that problem and/or secret; a confrontation and/or intervention takes place, usually involving a minisermon by one of the Camden parents; and whoever stands at the center of the drama eventually figures out how to "do the right thing." According to one critic, "the sappiness and sanctimony of the characters often made the moral lessons impossible to swallow". 7th Heaven was the most watched TV series ever on the WB. CBS Television Distribution handles the domestic and international distribution of the series. In the United States, the show began airing reruns in off-network syndication on September 25, 2000, but ceased to air in syndication in September 2002, while the series was still in first-run broadcast on The WB and later on The CW. It started airing on "superstation" WGN America on September 8, 2008, though it had previously aired on from 2000 to 2008 during its initial off-network syndication run. The series also began airing on Hallmark Channel around the same time as when WGN America began to carry reruns of the series again. As of 2010 Crossroads Television System aired the show in Canada. As of 2012, GMC (now known as UP) is the first network to air 7th Heaven in the United States since 2010 and began airing the series with a marathon on July 7, 2012. In the United States, all eleven seasons of 7th Heaven are available to stream on Hulu and Paramount+. In the United Kingdom, it aired on Sky One on a weekly basis as a part of its primetime slots at 8pm. In Australia, 7th Heaven was originally broadcast on Network Ten. It is on RTE (Radio Telefis Eireann) in Ireland. CBS DVD (distributed by Paramount Home Entertainment) has released 7th Heaven on DVD. On August 22, 2017, it was announced that the complete series would be released on DVD for November 14.
