7th Heaven canceled...again.

*Raph's Girl* · 04-03-2007, 03:54 PM

It's a wrap for "7th Heaven." The long-running drama, which debuted in 1996 on WB Network and now airs on the CW, will have its series finale May 13 in its regular 8 p.m. slot. The hour-long episode, titled "And Away We Go," will actually mark the second time the show was scheduled to have a series finale.

"Heaven's" 10th-season finale aired on WB in May amid much fanfare about it being the series closer, delivering its highest marks in more than two years with an episode that appeared to wrap up many loose ends in the show about a minister (Stephen Collins) and his sprawling family.

But the CW, which launched in September after the merger of WB and UPN, gave "Heaven" a last-minute renewal in May, announcing that the show would return in fall 2006 in its signature Monday 8 p.m. slot as part of the CW's inaugural lineup. In October, the network switched its Sunday and Monday lineups, moving "Heaven" to 8 p.m. Sunday.

Season-to-date, the series is averaging 3.4 million total viewers and a 1.3 rating in the network's target demo of adults 18-34.

"Heaven," whose debut on August 26, 1996, marked the first-ever Monday broadcast of the then-fledging WB Network, will bow out as the longest-running family drama on television.

Raph's Girl note: 11 seasons and yet...nobody ever watched it.

i could watch it if i could follow the series in episodes.

It is actually a good show if you sat down to watch it.

Ugh, you're not the only one. I hated that show with a passion as a kid, and I hate it with a passion now. And that song...good lord, how many times have I heard that hideous song?!

**Jester** · 04-03-2007, 10:43 PM

It was ok, in small doses. I wish Everwood wasn't cancled though, that was a good show.

Praise Jesus!

Dude, people call it a bad show BECAUSE they sat down and watched it.

**Jo Dawn** · 04-04-2007, 12:40 PM

I didn't mind it, really. I mean, it wasn't hurting anyone or anything. Gave some good messages and all that. I just got confused with all of the boarders they had there sometimes.

This was one of the bigest bible thumping, racis, hatefull shows I've ever seen grace tv.
I even remember them going so far at one point to make a comment about marilyn manson being evil and sinfull because he wears makeup.
If that's not moronic and crude I don't know what is then.

I mean seriously they might as well of had Pat Robertson as the grandfaher on the show.

I have no problems with them wanting to teach lessons, or even being over preachy sometimes. my issue was the writing. The writing staff needed to take a few more classes, cause they sure didn't seem to have any natural talent.

I dated someone who watched this show, which meant I had to watch the show for 3 years. every episode was basically the same thing. there would be something tragic, some statistics about the tragic event would be said (and the lines would sound like they came right out of a text book, not out of a real person's mouth) Then at the end of the episode, the youngest daughter ended up looking like the smartest person in the family. Every episode I saw followed that basic formula.

Let's not mention that horrible opening theme!

I've never seen that happen on the show personally, but if that's the case then I'll have to agree. Just because I don't believe it's right to Judge people based on their decisions such as that. If a guy wants to wear make up, more power to you.

**Jo Dawn** · 04-04-2007, 01:49 PM

Huh! Well I guess I missed those eps, haha. Really, I've seen a few episodes... Maybe not enough to give a full opinion of it, then!!

**GK Punk** · 04-04-2007, 01:51 PM

I watched it wayyyyyyyyy too much. It also may contribute to my overly negative opinion on it though, I will admit that. Me and my ex used to make jokes about creating a drinking game for the show, the Statistc quoting, and the youngest daughter sounding smarter than everyone else were the big ones

~~LogicDonny~~ · 04-04-2007, 03:37 PM

It is really awesome to see how far the show has come and how the people have grown up.

It wasn't that bad. Nowhere near as bad as the 700 Club. It tried to be a clean wholesome show with important messages about family and stuff, even if the writing wasn't that great. I guess if they did their research they'd know the evils of Marilyn Manson was that Beautiful People was really the only good song he ever did.

~~LogicDonny~~ · 04-07-2007, 01:57 AM

you know the prob is the shows out there, there not enough good shows like 7th heaven.. don't you know what I mean?

postive shows good for your health.

The 700 club can't even be compaired to anything it's almost as bad as those guys on the corner.

I also have to dissagree with you they when first started off touched issues that I found to be very biggoted.
yeah I'm so sure the guy has atleast one good song on each album.

Or to bash everyone else who isn't a christian....get real unlogicalDonny
Btw I am and I find the show not only to be ignorant but insulting to others of the same faith.

*Spike Spiegel* · 04-07-2007, 12:10 PM

Wasn't the GREATEST show ever,but it will be missed. Never thought it would be canceled.

*Drtooth* · 04-07-2007, 01:40 PM

Hmmmm... what the hell was the point? Really! I mean, did anyone even care they brought it back, since it got abysmal ratings and was pre-emptied for encore episodes of the next top pussycat (which I make very sexual jokes about the title of that I can't post here)?

And to respond to Putrescent, I can't recal the 3 episodes per season I was forced to watch being anything like the $700 Club. Personally, I agree... I am a Christian and I find those exact type of people dispicable and doing a disservice to Christ. Even still, I believe in sepperation between religion and entertainment... though I will ashamedly admit to liking that religious Vegetable thing.

Personally, I think this was Aaron Spelling's death bed religious conversion of sorts. You know, when someone does bad things they make a plea with God just before they die, thinking it'll get 'em to heaven. Make a religious series to ward off memories of the sexy programming he used to have (Charlie's Angel's anyone? Like the episode where they're escaping from jail just as an excuse to put girls in bondage).

But Program content itself, the show was bullcrap. I hate family TV shows. According to Jim especially. And is Reba given the chopping block too? Cuz that would be sweet!
