Protestant minister Eric Camden and his wife Annie have always had their hands full caring for seven children, not to mention the friends, sweethearts, spouses, and other visitors that continually come and go in their home. When the series premiered in 1996, Eric and Annie were young parents with three teenagers, one middle-schooler, and a pre-kindergartner. Then, when an unexpected pregnancy hit the Camdens at the end of Season 2, the birth of their twin boys brought the total number of offspring to seven. Eleven full years of "7th Heaven" gave audiences the opportunity to follow this fictional television family through various seasons of life: adolescence, marriage, parenthood, and all the good and bad decisions that come in-between. Over a decade of filming meant that the characters grew and changed tremendously over time, but from the pilot episode to the series finale, one thing remained constant: they were a tight-knit, loving, and generous family that strived to practice their Christian values both inside and outside the home.
