Reasons Why 7th Heaven sucks

It's already old news that 7th Heaven was renewed for another season. My question is WHY, why are earth would the choose to keep this show on the air for 11 years? The last couple of years the show started to decline. I can pinpoint where they went wrong.

1) Hiring the two non actor brothers: Geoff and George Stults.

Ben and Kevin. Bad actors. Judgemental characters

2) Lucky and Kevin

Oh MY GOD words can't describe how much I hate this couple. Kevin is annoying, judgemental and bossy. I didn't like the way he started acting like he was the boss. His treatment of Lucy was disgusting. Before Lucy met Kevin she was confident. It took a long time for her to be happy with herself. When Kevin came along, all that confidence and self esteem went straight out the window.

3) Roxanne

Why, Why, Why did they have to hire this person? The only time I liked her character was when she got knifed by that drunk. On the commericials they made it so serious. It was very funny. The character Roxanne added nothing to the show. Much like Kevin added nothing. Her past with Robbie was stupid because they mentioned it once and then never said anything about it again. I cared nothing for Roxanne. Or her problems.

4) Hiring Ashlee Simpson

This had disaster written all over it. Bad actress Worse singer.

5) Ruthie's language.

Okay I get it Ruthie is smart, gifted, whatever. I have seen kids that are gifted and NONE of them talk like Harvard graduates. Heck most Havard graduates don't talk like Harvard graduates.

6) Mary marrying CARLOS WTF

He was on for ONE episode. In season 1 or 2. Mary was inlove with both Wilson and Robbie. Big moronic moved having her marry Carlos.

7) The twins.

They can't act and the repeating things is annoying.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The missed a great opportunity in Lucy and Chandler. I wanted them to become a couple.

1) Have Kevin cheat on Lucy with Roxanne. or 2) Make Kevin a controlling wife beater.

Either scenario Lucy turns to Chandler for comfort. A Lucy/Chandler pairing would have been great.

Simon should have died at the end of Season ( the one where he comes back after accidently killing the pot smoking kid). Yes it's cruel and horrible, but it's drama. And drama brings in ratings and viewers. Plus it woud have given the actors some good material to work with.

Well my rant is done.

Ahem, the show is SO awful and always has been so that I can't even compliment on their storyline mistakes.

Let me just stress that the whole "concept" is repetitive ín too many way (Every storyline seems to happen with nearly every Camden brat), the actors are beyond awful except for the dog and that little girl playing Ruthie (?) and most of all the whole "values" portrayed in 7th Heaven are way beyond time.

IMO, the series is unwillingly hilarious at best but just crappy at most.

    • Days of our Lives S60E204 – Thursday, June 5, 2025 Okay, today’s episode was kind of boring. It was nice seeing Jack and Jen back, but they wasted an entire episode on Jen chatting with Julie - one scene would’ve been enough. Also, why didn’t Jack and Jen go comfort Marlena? And wouldn’t a flashback with Jack, Jen, and John have been great? Maybe something from the Cruise of Deception era? Bottom line - it feels like once John’s memorial is over and the returning fan favorites leave Salem… the show’s going to be dull again.
    • Everything with Elon and Trump is a stunt. If people, and the sycophantic press, are talking about their "feud," they are not talking about Republican plans to gut Medicare, Medicaid, and the ACA. 
    • I can't fully remember, but I don't think they tried to get Beth Chamberlin back. I think Laibson/McTavish likely saw Beth as old news and wanted to move Philip on; either that or have her return only when Philip was closely tied to a new woman. Thanks as always for these recaps. I think I had stopped watching around this time and mostly kept up by reading in the soap magazines. Bridget's degradation was horrible to watch, as the character had grown so much over the years and was clearly regressed just to be a foil for a "hot" couple viewers had zero investment in. 
    • Having the majority of the cast on those low numbers is no way to tell story. And just 2 dayplayers for the month. So sad for the #1 soap.  
    • I believe it was. And this is actually one of the cases where I wouldn’t mind some dumb soap opera bringing back from the dead. They gave Mishael, Amanda, with all of Hilary’s connections but none of the personality except for fleeting moments. Hilary absolutely should’ve just left town. They decided to kill her and the baby. Just baffling,
    • That was Mal Young right? He thought a tragic death was a better option than crafting a story where Hilary leaves town. Was it a case of punishing someone who wants to leave? And then they have to jump through hoops to bring the actress back.
    • Ooo @TaoboiI will say I just watched Amanda give it to Abby and I loved it. Honestly just made me miss Hilary more. I will never understand or get over that decision to kill her off. Also call me crazy but I could definitely see the Damian actor playing NuTed on BTG. Very much still enjoying the Lily attraction.
    • I rewatched these episodes---they broke my heart. Somehow, Nola had seen Vanessa leave the hospital, and follows her home, and Maeve just lets out this primal scream---chills went down my spine. And knowing the history between them---never quite liking the other and always getting on each other's nerves (to put it mildly)---makes it a much richer to have them put it all aside in the moment and be family to each other. I've never seen/heard what Maeve thought of the story itself, but she did want a break, so it's not like she was fired and then brought back. Yes, Vanessa could be this stubborn and unwilling to ask for help. She'd pretty much always been an "I can do this on my own" type of woman, although when she first came to town, she would still run to Henry. But after she met Billy, she stopped relying on her father. It's part of the reason she (briefly) got addicted to pills after Bill's birth---she was determined to take care of him all by herself and became obsessed with the idea she was the only one who could. Of course, nothing before to this extreme. I should say, there's no way (IMO) they could've told this story---Vanessa letting her loved ones thinking she'd died---if her father Henry had still been alive. She never would've been able to do that to him. And it does chafe that she's letting Bill believe it, when her mantra had been all about protecting him since the day he was born. I honestly don't recall what I thought about it at the time. But now I'm thrilled she's free of Matt at least. LOL.
    • I had no idea Peter Reckell was 70. He doesn’t look or feel it and I guess I thought Bo and Hope were closer in age than 9 years. Wow even the new writers had to have Jack praise Leo. Melissa Reeves continues to slip back in effortlessly as Jennifer. I like Ari and Holly being old friends. Holly learning about John’s death reminded me of how John used to call her Nikki if my memory is serving me right. Doug who happily sleeps in high school Holly’s room shirtless and in his underwear is now asking about birth years. How old is he anyway?    The Cat and Chad romance is insulting. 
    • Her husband is Marty Levy. Chocolate Fortunes (her company) was started in 1987.  So that explains the mystery of 'Whatever happened to Pam Peters?' She had been running a successful business for decades.
