7th Heaven.
I remember when we first saw the program. It was that new network, and the show was supposed to be about a good family, one that stayed together and loved each other and stuff. I remember that we both thought it was probably going to be dorky, but we decided to watch it anyway. And there was this grandma on the show, and she was dying of cancer, and it was so sad and so good the way her daughter and the main character who was her daughter's husband were so nice and loving with all their kids. And Abby and I looked at each other and I remember what we said like it was yesterday.
"Wow. That's pretty cool."
"Yeah. I'm going to start taping it."
"Me too."
There was another show on after it that was really gross called Buffy. It had this girl who fought vampires or something, and it was pretty scary and she was always dressing like a slut too. And there was this other girl in her school who was a real B-C-H, if you know what I mean, and Abby and I knew enough girls like that in our real lives that we didn't want to watch a show with one of them in it.
But 7th Heaven was way cool. There was this minister, and he had five kids, and the mom was awesome, and minister was too, because they were always loving and taking care of their kids. So was the older brother, and he was a hunk, too. And there was this girl, just the same age as Abby and me, named Lucy, and she was smart and the actress playing her was just so awesome. There was this one time when Lucy's best friend died in a car wreck and she cried so much and was so sad ....
Stop it! This isn't supposed to happen!
Stop it! Stop it!

I want to wash my hands again. I don't care what you say. I want to wash them again. I want to wash them again and again because I can still feel it on them, sticky and red.
Please.
Please.

Abby and I watched 7th Heaven every Saturday. We'd both already seen the episodes, of course, because we'd watch them when they aired on Monday nights and then on Tuesday after school we'd go online and see if there was any information about next week's episode. After a year or so there were lots of fan sites on the internet and you could download pictures of the actors and actresses and you could post what you thought of the show there too, and that was way cool.

* I love Matt!!!! He's sooo hot!!!!
* This is a great show because it has all these family values and they are good Christians and everything. I mean most Tv is just about killing and violence and here is a show about a fmaily who really love each other. I love 7th Heaven and I watch it every week and I will forever!!!
* I think the halloween ep was great like the way lucy was the only one to be nice to that poor guy who was just trying to live his life after he got hit onthe head or whatever and the way she got him to carve the pumpkin and enter it in the contest and then the way simon was all a good sportsman and all was a realy good message to kids and i love this show LUCY RULZ!!!!!
* As a 35 year old mother of four, I'm glad there is finally a show that I can sit down and watch with my kids. The Camdens and their five children set a good example, and afterward, by talking about the show, we can talk about things that parents should talk to their kids about. Maybe it's a bit sappy, but that's a small price to pay for the quality time it's helped me have with my children.
* I wish the camdens were my famly.

Saturday. So we'd get together and watch the episode. Just me and Abby. I know we both had crushes on Matt, because he was such a cool big brother. Neither Abby or I have a big brother; she's an only child and I've just got Mark, who is a booger head. And we'd sit and watch and it was cool even though we knew what was going to happen.
I remember the episode where that guy snapped Mary's bra and she stuck his head in the toilet. She was so cool and Abby and I rewound the scene and watched it a couple more times, too. The actress who played Mary was so pretty, and so was the one who played Lucy; did you know that the one who played Lucy is older than the one who played Mary? It's true.
Snap. Toilet head.
Abby laughed. "That's never gonna get old," she said.
"Don't you wish you could do that to Jim at school?" I asked.
Jim was a jerk. He was always leering at the girls and talking trash about us. And he was ugly, too, with pimples, and his hair was dirty all the time.
"Yeah," Abby said. "That would be so cool. Don't you just love the way Matt tells that guy he doesn't need to fight his sister's battle for her?"
"I wish Matt was my brother."
She nodded. "Me too. I wish I was a Camden."
