our beloved Camdens grow up and taste reality in 7th Heaven's finest hour
I always said that if the DVD manufacturers didn't get around to releasing all 11 seasons of 7th Heaven, I would be satisfied if they could just give us the first five. Well, not only is the series' (arguably) strongest and most credible season hitting stores in early December 2007 (just in time to stick it on your Christmas list if this is one of your favorites), but now that the show's run has finally been completed after 11 historical seasons, there's a good chance that the remaining 6 sets will find their way to DVD in time--and that is great news for the fans who have been loyally tuning in for all these years.

Although I continued watching this show to the very end, when the final episode officially aired in May 2007, it's the first five years that probably had the biggest impact. While Seasons 1-3 focused mainly on the young, fresh, and vibrant Camden family that we came to know and love, Season 4 started suggesting that their lives might be headed in a direction...

Really strong television show
My family (husband and 14-year-old daugher) started watching the series on DVD a few months ago. We are gradually working our way through the series since we didn't watch it when it originally aired.

We have enjoyed each and every season of the Camden family adventures. These season is focused on the advantures and mis-adventures of the oldest daughter Mary and some of the teenage angst of 15-year-old Simon. The program is just good, enjoyable television that we can watch together. In addition to the entertainment value, the problems and situations the kids face are a great starting point for discussion with my own daughter. We can talk about good choices and poor choices that are being made by characters near her own age and the consequences the kids face due to the choices they made.

As I said in my review of Season 1: There is very mature content in these shows. While they are handled well and I am very comfortable with my daughter watching, if she were...

Bloody Mary.
7th Heaven - The Complete Fifth Season is a strange season but it's one of my favorites of the series. Jessica Biel's character Mary becomes rebellious which I think was a good idea, this show needed a bad seed, these kids seemed too good to be true! Season 5 is more dramatic and that's the way I liked this show, the last couple of seasons were so cookie-cutter, it made me sick. Season 5 is definitely worth checking out.
