I've been watching all the episodes in a row and I like some of the actors /characters more than others. Matt was fairly consistent and I really liked him. Same with Eric--what a great father. It is refreshing to see abstinence preached instead of everyone rolling into bed on first dates, like most other TV shows. No one is perfect-- that's true even with moral people. Just because you try to live a moral life doesn't mean you always succeed. Id rather my children--if I have any--watched this program than most of the crap and even animated series on TV today. Keep Modern Family. Give me the Camdens. True most families aren't like the Camdens but that doesn't mean the world wouldn't be a better place if they were.

I went through the reviews, and yes, i guess mine is biased cause i love the show, but i got a little peeved. You here people complain or say how TV these days is filled with sex, drugs, backstabbing, and other loads of crap, but heres this show, trying to demonstrate how virginity isn't something to be given away lightly, drugs=no no, and family comes first. So yes, while maybe it isn't realistic how comfortable the kids are with talking about sex, or how every issue seems to be resolved in one episode, would you rather watch this with your family, or Jersey Shore and Pretty Little Liars and Secret Life of the American Teenagers? And Uh *SPOILER* they aren't perfect! Mary gets pregnant out of wedlock and Simon ends up with piercings at some point. Matt smoked early on in the episode And for those who took offense from watching this show, they NEVER said smokers and druggies were always bad people. As for the religion aspects, people still do go to church every Sunday in the REAL world,i personally don't find it that heavy and this is a Christian, FAMILY themed show, and if you have a problem with either, don't watch.Sometimes the acting is lacking (though is it even close to being the only show to do so), but what big name actor(ress)s had or has the guts to do something like this then or today?

This is one of very few story lines that brings in a healthy, moral dynamic to the everyday life. So many times, a pastor is perceived as having the perfect life and perfect children which is not the case. We all face the same types of situations but this show brings in the perspective of a faith driven home that deals with problems with God as a solution. I know that all shows usually come to an end but hope that another series can be created that offers a family oriented program like 7th Heaven. We really do need to be able to offer a program that families can watch with their children.

why do we have to make some shows like this?? i mean the REALLY life isn't like this!! Okay I leave in Switzerland and here it's absolutely normal to see drunk children everywhere I've also been drunk a few times and i smoke sometimes... So what?? Are we supposed to be the devil or I don't know what...I have some friends who have some huge problems with their parents and they are always under drug. THIS is sad and it is the reality not like this stupid show who shows that the entirely world is wonderful because everything has a happy ending!!! However I respect the religion, I'm American too but just can't stand 7th heaven ! I watch sometimes some episodes but just for laughing and for no other reasons!! sorry for my bad English...
