It's the show that shouldn't be a hit. A series about a family that sticks together through thick and thin -- nobody's going to watch that, right? Well, nobody watched it for a while, but now, in its third season, the WB network's "7th Heaven" is huge.
The gentle humor arising from family conflicts has a cornball charm and some authenticity to it, though real-life parents of five will not recognize a household in which everyone takes turn speaking.
