Discussion about this date:
I remember my very religious mom told me that she felt like something was off about 7th Heaven when it first aired. When it was revealed years later that the actor who played the dad had a dark secret in his closet, she felt vindicated. It's a shame none of the cast can get any money from reruns due to one man's crimes.
