Viewers see how the Camden family, together with friends and spouses, work through their problems -- even those that seem insurmountable -- and ultimately find solutions.
I gave "7th Heaven" another look and discovered it had more to offer: Teen-age characters with distinct personalities, caring parents who are involved in their children's lives and commendably high morals that are missing from most of what's on TV.
On 7th, moral lessons are taught regularly but without self-righteousness or cant; this is one of the rare shows in which religious beliefs are shown to be part of a family's everyday approach to life rather than a set of self-imposed rules.
