Official Show Description

From Spelling Television and Brenda Hampton comes "7th Heaven," a contemporary family drama about a minister and his wife sharing love, laughter and life with their seven children in the fictional city of Glen Oak, Calif. The WB’s highest-rated series for the past two seasons and celebrating its 100th episode this winter, "7th Heaven" has been praised for providing high-quality entertainment geared toward the entire family, being named one of the best family-friendly shows on network television by the Parents Television Council.

Now in its fifth 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.

This season, the surprisingly functional Camden family faces a tough time when Eric (Collins) and Annie’s (Hicks) oldest daughter Mary (Biel) opts to postpone college in favor of a little soul searching and the glory of minimum wage, while Annie leaves Eric with a handful at home so she can complete her teaching degree. Meanwhile, Simon (Gallagher) enters the treacherous terrain of high school, Lucy (Mitchell) rules the school as a senior, Matt (Watson) considers the pre-med track, third-grader Ruthie (Rosman) is well on her way to being more demanding than all the other kids rolled into one, and the twins embark on the terrible twos.

Eric is a progressive father, who just happens to be a minister at the local church. Raising seven children leaves Eric and his wife Annie 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 young adults on "7th Heaven," Matt, Mary, Lucy and Simon, 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" was 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."
