The heart-warming television 'dramedy' 7th Heaven blends sometimes-outlandishly comic situations with dramatic plotlines about serious social issues into a positive affirmation of family values and Christian morality. 7th Heaven centres on an all-American minister's family headed by Reverend Eric Camden (Stephen Collins) and his stay-at-home wife Annie (Catherine Hicks) as they struggle with the daily stresses and joys of parenting. Meanwhile the Camden's five children--oldest son Matt (Barry Watson), athletic good girl Mary (Jessica Biel), boy-crazy Lucy (Beverley Mitchell), pre-teen Simon (David Gallagher), and precocious schoolgirl Ruthie (Mackenzie Rosman)--navigate through the trials and tribulations of growing up with wholesome aplomb.
