Not so much breaking news as about *!#&(* time news in my opinion. It is finally coming to an end after 11 seasons about 5 of which were good. Jessica Biel bared all and got kicked off, Lucy got married and decided to become a pastor since her whiny nature and indecisiveness would be so well passed on to others, Ruthie grew up, and the birth of the twins... there were so many times and ways that this show jumped the shark, the ultimate though was when they decided to come back after filming their series finale last year. Brilliant move there CW, really. (Yes, my eyes have rolled so many times here that I have spiral vision.) People tuned in not because they thought it was a great show and wanted it on another year (point proven by this year's ratings), but because they were anxious to see it end and see if Jessica would return for the farewell.
Reading that first paragraph you may think that I hated the show... which is not the case. The first few years were fantastic, BUT then it went from a well meaning Christian family show to one that HAD to deal with issues and take a moral high ground and those issues usually took the main characters to places that the initial set-up did not lend them to. The show changed to adapt to society and lost what made it great in the first place. I mean seriously, Ruthie got a tattoo of the guy she was pre-engaged to, what is that?
So, how long is too long? When did you think 7th Heaven jumped the shark and if you didn't watch choose another show that long outlived even its fan's loyalty and tell when you thought that show jumped the shark?
