I recently rewatched this show and actually, the first few seasons were really good. Focusing on parts of adolescence that most shows don't talk about was really important. For those of us who grew up without loving parents or a family who cared about us, 7th Heaven offered a decent example of what good parents look like.

I'm not saying the parents were perfect. I'm saying they weren't abusive, absent, dead, or narcissistic, which makes them an improvement on most parents on the WB.

The show did get much worse (and more sexist) over time.
