Sorry, bellcurve, I don't think so. The audience of "7th Heaven," trust me, cannot GET ENOUGH of this show. Those churches and youth groups that made it a hit on The WB for, what, 10 consecutive seasons? They're just glad a good, Christian show is on television. Trust me, if the CW hit every church in America and put out bulletins about the show's new time and network, it'd be raking it in again.

The only reason 7th Heaven was being cancelled was because of high costs. I think bringing it back was a smart idea, but they should've retooled the idea and created a spin off. That way you keep the high 7th Heaven ratings plus you have another new show to bring promotion to the network. The mistake was bringing back the original series with most of the original cast.

I also think Everwood could stay cancelled. It's ratings were never great and I don't know that it was bringing in a lot of buzz until it was in cancellation danger. I do love the show, but I'm looking at it unbias. Cancelling it would be yet another open slot for a new show and new shows are what help bring attention to the new season.

Doubt it. And if church audiences were so gun-ho about Christian Programming that appeals to them, why didn't PAX succeed as a network?

I don't mind having programming on TV that skew Christian Audiences(TOUCHED BY AN ANGEL was good, cheesy fun every once in awhile, as are those HALLMARK MOVIES), but ten seasons of that was enough. At least give another "feel goood show" similar to that of 7TH HEAVEN a chance to succeed.

I disagree, bellcurve. Take The CW message boards, for instance. You have fans of the show saying they don't like the new season but guess why? It's mostly for two reasons: one, the lack of the whole family, but moreso, it seems, is the fact that the season is "sexier" (and some of you laughed when I said the season premiere with Lucy's sex-filled "My husband is hot, you know you would sleep with him" sermon was pushing the envelope for this show). They don't like that Eric and Annie are having so much sex now, they don't like that Lucy is talking about sex in church, they don't like that Lucy is talking to a FIFTEEN year old ('another man') about her marital problems and they don't like that Martin tried to get Sandy to sleep with her again. 'I usually watch this show with my 11-year-old but these days, the show has become all about sex just like all the other shows on TV' one mother is paraphrased as saying. 'All they talk about is sex these days!' another says. When, if you watch the show, that is so NOT the way it is, lol. Yes, there's more sex mentions, but they're all between married people...except of course with Martin and Sandy. And with Martin, the show has drove it home that he's 'troubled' and not 'good', and Sandy, the woman who's training to become a minister, the one whose pants he wants to get in, well, they portray her as 'good' and 'levelheaded' so I think the message is shown 'against' their copulation. But that's how the fans of this show are.

And to respond to your worthy comment about Pax, I think there's a bottom line to that, and that's the shows sucked and/or they weren't on a widely distributed network. The WB was more accessible and "7th Heaven" had been a critical hit and caught on by word-of-mouth among the church groups. I know I've heard woman RAVING over it and how their hold family watches the show together, lol. It really is that way.

    • I think they’re desperately trying to cover his awful tattoos. But anyway them being unable to style short kings properly has been a major pet peeve of mine for a while now.  I honestly don’t understand what some people expect from actors to even begin considering them for recognition. Let’s be real—awards mostly mean that an actor is respected by their peers and has some level of cultural relevance. Actual judgment on the acting itself? That’s often secondary—highly subjective and shaped by the times. I completely agree on both points. If you’re an actor or a dancer you shouldn’t get any tattoos (sorry not sorry). Tomas’ tattoos are ugly too. And regarding the couples- you’re completely right. These writers are unable to write romance.   Further comments: - Kat cannot be this dumb to keep tampering with evidence over and over again. And I’m officially not a fan of the actress—every time she’s in a scene with Leslie, she doesn’t seem intimidated at all. She plays it like comic relief, which is just too much, especially when paired with Leslie’s histrionics and over-the-top antics. Leslie is older, dangerous, and has literally been portrayed as homicidal—Kat should be at least a little scared. • I also didn’t like Kat playing damsel in distress with the hotel manager. It gave off the same weird energy as Dani with the cop. I would’ve much preferred the version Paul Raven suggested, with her sneaking in through housekeeping. • And yes, Dani again accused Hayley of faking the pregnancy—this time even specifying she might be using a pillow under her shirt. (No fake miscarriage being mentioned) I stand by my take: this is ridiculous writing. No one in the real world—except us, the chronically online soap watchers—would even think of such a conspiracy theory. Haley is no Beyoncé. • What in the world was Chelsea wearing in her hair the other day? And this whole thing with Madison is beyond cringe. Chelsea’s coming off as needy and toxic—basically like every other Dupree. • I’m glad the casino storyline is moving forward, but it’s still boring as hell. Honestly, I’d be so here for a plot twist where Vanessa and Doug take Joey out. • The direction and editing lately have been rough. Abrupt cuts, weird pacing… something just feels off overall. There’s a strange uneasiness to how it’s all coming together. • And finally: Tomas is too much of a saint. Where are the messy sluts when you need them? (Vanessa doesn’t count.)
    • Andrew sure has hard nips.
    • I was watching some August 1987 episodes and they brought back so many memories. I had some thoughts: Lisa and Jamie were so dull. Lisa was such a nothing character. It boggles my mind that so much story was centered around her in such a short amount of time. Joanna Going is a talented actress, but the material was just not there.  It was so good to see Wallingford and Mitch again. I know there was talk about Felicia a while back, but these episodes reminded me how integral Felicia was for the show.  Sally Spencer was done so dirty. She is turning in superb performances in an icky storyline. I wish she had stuck around longer. She has chemistry with everyone. The McKinnons should have lasted longer. Spencer had some strong stuff with Stephen Schnetzer and Mary Alexander. AW waster such a talented actress by getting rid of her. Justice for Cheryl too. I also missed Ed Fry when he left. Sandra Ferguson was a star from the moment she came on. She was charismatic and just popped. She had immediate chemistry with RKK and blended in well with Wyndham and Watson. I'd forgotten about the teenage Matthew.  I have no memory of Peggy Lazarus. She must not have lasted long. Was the original plan for John that he was going to turn out to be the twins' real father?      
    • If the new and improved copies that @rsclassicfanforever has uploaded can be manually moved into the "by month, by year" folders, that would be awesome. I personally don't think it's necessary to keep the older versions (which either have Dutch subtitles hard coded on them, or are lesser in picture quality). That's a lot of valuable drive space that could be cleared. Just my view but can appreciate others may feel differently. The structure had been by month by year previously, so I think it would be easier to conform to that, where so much prior work to get it to that format has already been done. Hopefully you can "drag and drop" so the new copies are in the right month/year? Re Clips, I never look at them now we pretty much have the episodes in full. Appreciate others may use, however. Thanks for all your hard work here @BoldRestless!
    • Oh yes defintely, Josh Griffith repeats and repeats the same storylines.
    • Isnt’t this storyline similar to the Cameron Kirsten situation though? Sharon thought she killed him. He ended up being alive and Sharon was being tormented with thinking she was seeing his face everywhere and that’s how we got that iconic scene with her and Nikki in the sewers.   I understand in Mariah’s case this is different circumstances but it does seem like a play on that whole thing. Maybe I’m wrong. I just wish if they were going to make any character follow in Sharon’s foot steps it would be Faith. Mariah wasn’t even raised by her, and her personality is different. I would expect her to take a different path. I understand I could be completely jumping ahead because the storyline hasn’t even played out yet but we’ll see. 
    • Thanks again @Paul Raven Monica was completely without redeeming qualities at this point. I always found the whole Monica = Carly narrative regressive, as I don't think shows comparing characters so heavily is ever a great idea, but she's actually worse than Carly was. Was it the Pollocks who had Leslie have a miscarriage?  Giving her a child, especially by rape, was not a good idea, but a part of me wishes they'd committed to it just to see what story it might have had in later years.
    • @janea4old Your detailed explanation and delving into the psychology and motivations is no doubt the opposite of what we will see onscreeen. As @ranger1rg stated we will get a few scenes and some sketchy explanations. Like the adoption of Aria, most of it will take place off screen.
    • I'm suddenly fearful that DAYS is going to pull a Flowers-for-Algernon stunt and Bo's progress will be reversed.  While @te. is stuck on Abe's tiny bedroom, I can't stop thinking of the size of Bo's huge hospital room.
    • Okay, why are Paulina and Abe sleeping like that?!  I'd take a screen grab if I wasn't lazy, but come on.
