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.

    • "And OMG, watching the scenes of Roger's return in comparison...the quality in the writing really nosedived. The stupid mask." Very much agreed.  Having Roger hide behind a mask for weeks/months, with it culminating with him swinging in on a vine at Blake/Phillip's wedding....geez.  So juvenile. IMO, Guiding Light never did a good job reintroducing major characters, either from the dead or elsewhere.  Masked balls = awful.  Amish = awful. When Reva was brought back from the dead, she should've just showed up in Springfield as Reva, and informed everyone that she had been gone for years because she felt like it.  She had a four-year fling with some dude who ended up dumping her due to disloyalty. Josh would be pissed and declare that their love is not *always* but *sometimes* and he'd act accordingly.  Her kids would hate her.   
    • Agreed. The Emmys next year are gonna be a pretty tough competition and I hope we get a Days sweep lol  Not only does Deidre deserve a nomination for these last few weeks, but I also think Paul Telfer, Raven Bowens, Carson Boatman, Dan Feuerriegel and Alison Sweeney have good chances as well.
    • It’s not about a lack of faith and trust in MVJ, it’s about a a lack of faith and trust in Ron Carlivati, who I think can be very sneaky and manipulative when he wants to be.  And, all that “He’s just a breakdown writer” talk never changed my mind about anything, because at Days, it was “just a breakdown writer” that gave us some of the worst episodes I’ve ever seen.

    • 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.)
