7th Heaven
7th Heaven is an US television series about a minister's family living in the fictional town of Glenoak in California created by Brenda Hampton.The central characters are Reverend Eric Camden, his wife Annie and their children. Originally the family consisted of five children (Matt, Mary, Lucy, Simon and Ruthie), but several seasons into the show the character of Annie got pregnant and had twins, Sam and David. Two of the children, Matt and Mary, have moved away from home and no longer appear on the show.
The part of eldest daughter Mary was written out of the show after the actress who portrayed her, Jessica Biel, posed for some nude photographs for Gear magazine; she had been dissatisified with her "goody goody" image. Ironically, Mary was sent to her grandfather's house (he's a retired army colonel) for some tough love to counter her rebellious behavior.
Although originally produced by FOX in 1996, the show is now shown on and produced by the WB television network. Its producers, including Aaron Spelling, consider it wholesome family viewing, incorporating public service announcements into the show.
