Unlike the Brady Bunch, the Camdens of Seventh Heaven aren't a blended family. And unlike the Partridge Family, they aren't a band. They're just a family--a large, if normal family with normal problems and concerns. A little like the Waltons, perhaps, but set in the present day. The parents are Eric (Stephen Collins from All the President's Men), a minister, and Annie (Catherine Hicks from Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home), a homemaker. They live in the suburbs of Glenoak, California, with their five children: 16-year-old Matt (Barry Watson), 14-year-old Mary (Jessica Biel), 12-year-old Lucy (Beverley Mitchell), 9-year-old Simon (David Gallagher), and 5-year-old Ruthie (Mackenzie Rosman). By the end of the pilot ("Anything You Want"), they'll add the dog Happy to their household. Created by Barbara Hampton (Blossom) and produced by Aaron Spelling (Beverly Hills 90210), Seventh Heaven premiered on the WB in 1996 and would become its most enduring hit. It may lack a gimmick, but this heartwarming family drama doesn't lack a theme: communication. And since the Camdens are a minister's family, faith comes up often, as well, which gives the show something in common with such otherwise disparate programs as Touched by an Angel and Joan of Arcadia. Throughout 1996-1997, the Camdens would deal with many tough issues, both internal and external, including teen pregnancy ("Family Secrets"), death ("In the Blink of an Eye"), racism ("The Color of God"), spousal abuse ("What Will People Say"), and alcoholism ("Last Call for Aunt Julie"). In the years to come, the cast would have their own real-life issues with which to contend, such as Watson's battle with cancer (after taking 2003 off to recover, he would return in 2004) and the gradual loss of Biel (The Texas Chainsaw Massacre) to the movies. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

 Really good, family show March 31, 2009
Holly Kincaid (Fishers, IN USA)

My husband, daughter (age 14) and I have just recently watched the first season of this series. I really hadn't been aware of it before, but someone recommended it to me and we are now hooked. We often sit down and watch one of the episodes together after dinner and it is a nice way to end the evening.
The Camden family is a nuclear family consisting of the parents (on their first marriage) and their five children ranging in age from pre-school to high school. The father (Eric) is a minister and the mother (Annie) is a stay-at-home mom and they have their hands full dealing with all the issues that arise with raising five children.
Warning: while this is definitely a family show, topics are dealt with that may not be appropriate for younger children. There is teen-age pregnancy, church burning and racism along with a host of other serious/mature issues. All are dealt with very well in the show and I feel very comfortable with my 14-year-old watching this but I would not have liked for her to see this much younger than that (maybe age 12 and up would be the right age?).

We absolutely love this series so it is so good to be able to see all of a season at your own pace. We'll be collecting the other seasons, too for sure.
 Silly little show. March 8, 2009

7th Heaven is one of those shows you love to hate. I couldn't stand this show but I kept coming back every week like a junkie. The family is too perfect you just want to punch them. Jessica Biel was really the only star to break out and she's not that good of an actress! You may call this Aaron Spelling show a guilty pleasure, I wouldn't disagree.
 Horrendous Shiping January 29, 2009

I haven't gotten this product yet. I just wanted to advise anyone considering to use Amazon.com to purchase this to think twice. Their shipping is very slow, it was supposed to arrive days ago and it still hasn't come. Very frustrating, it's been over a week.
Good family viewing January 8, 2009

Yes, the story lines are a little simple, and the acting isn't always so great. One theme usually dominates everyone's life at the same time - which seldom if ever happens in real life. And yet it is one of the most addictive and loving series ever put on DVD. Watching as a family: It's a wonderful way for parents to open up discussions on a variety of life issues with children of all ages. For the kids: It offers realistic advice for teens and pre-teens who may be wrestling with life issues and aren't sure about the answers. And it gives good pointers on relationships at all levels and ages. On top of all that, it's fun. You'll laugh and cry and have something to think about with every episode. Treat yourself to something good today and buy this DVD series.
