7 th Heaven

    From Spelling Television comes 7th Heaven, a contemporary family drama about a minister and his wife sharing love, laughter and life with their seven children. The WB's highest-rated series is celebrating its remarkable 10th season this winter, 7th Heaven has been praised for providing high-quality entertainment geared toward the entire family, being named one of the most family-friendly shows on network television by the Parents Television Council.

    Now in its tenth season, the series stars Emmy Award-nominated Stephen Collins (The Two Mrs. Grenvilles, The First Wives Club, Sisters), Catherine Hicks
(Peggy Sue Got Married, Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home), Barry Watson (Teaching Mrs. Tingle, Shearer's Breakfast), David Gallagher (Phenomenon), Jessica Biel (Summer Catch, Ulee's Gold), Beverley Mitchell (Phenom) and Mackenzie Rosman.

    The Camdens are a surprisingly functional family, enjoying close relationships despite their occasional differences and the usual problems that every large family faces. Eric (Collins) is a progressive father, who just happens to be a minister at the local church. Raising seven children leaves Eric and his wife Annie (Hicks) little time for themselves, but they still manage to keep their romance alive. Together, they're ready to face any challenge that comes their way on the roller coaster ride known as "parenting."

    Chronicling the many complex issues of growing up in the world today, the teens on 7th Heaven, Matt (Watson), Mary (Biel), Lucy (Mitchell) and Simon (Gallagher), are exposed to issues ranging from dating crises to teen suicide, sibling rivalry to gang violence. In past seasons, storylines touched on such poignant topics as the Holocaust, hate crimes, drug use, vandalism, drinking and driving, teen pregnancy and homelessness.

    

    7th Heaven is created by Brenda Hampton who also serves as executive producer along with Aaron Spelling and E. Duke Vincent. Spelling and Vincent are also executive producers of The WB's Charmed.
