11-22 Recap	And Away They Blow... And Away We Go... - Because someone at the CW was under the impression that the audience for this show hadn't left it a long time ago, 7th Heaven was brought back from cancellation for one last crappy season. But now it's finally over...we think. RevCam, fresh from his miraculous, if nonsensical, recovery from a terminal heart condition, decides to abandon the church and community he's devoted his life to in favor of driving in an RV with a bunch of random people.	2007.05.13 2007.05.18	D	Sara M
10-22 Recap	And Thank You And Thank You - 7th Heaven leaves our airwaves with a show about Simon not marrying his fiancée no one except Annie likes, and all the Camden kids coming back, in one form or another, to see it and announce that they're pregnant with twins that are sure to make the ensuing reunion movies doubly creepy.	2006.05.08 2006.05.13	N/A	Sara M

9-21 Recap	Mi Familia Es Horrible Mi Familia, Part I - At least, that's what Mary thinks.

On the other side of the country, supposed minister RevCam tricks Asslee's dad into adopting four children, while Simon's refusal to have sex turns into a marriage proposal.	2005.05.16 2005.05.19	C-	Sara M

9-16 Recap	Brotherly Misunderstandings Brotherly Love - Everyone takes SamVid's word for it that Simon has gotten his girlfriend pregnant. SamVid know this because they heard the CamRents talking about it. I'll remind you that half of SamVid is probably deaf, and let you guess how well that all turned out.	2005.02.21 2005.02.26	C	Sara M
9-15 Recap	Songs In The Key Of Terrible Red Socks - Proving that even the crappiest thing on television can still get crappier, the Camdens spend Valentine's Day breaking into song.	2005.02.14 2005.02.19	F	Sara M
9-14 Recap	There's A First Time For Everything First Date - Ruthie goes out on her first "real" date, and everyone else in the CamPound goes insane, making Ruthie actually seem likable and cool by comparison.	2005.02.07 2005.02.12	B-	Sara M
9-13 Recap	Art Is Subjective The Fine Art Of Parenting - Lucy and Kevin fight over whether or not they should move out of the CamPound. Ruthie indirectly asks out a boy whose parents never learned how to parent, because they never went to church.	2005.01.31 2005.02.05	N/A	Sara M
9-12 Recap	Big Big Shop of Horrors Paper Or Plastic? - Lucy's baby finally escapes from the womb, only to be rewarded for her efforts with the name "Savannah" and a family full of creepy Camdens. No wonder the afterbirth apparently decided to just stay in the uterus.	2005.01.24 2005.01.29	F	Sara M
9-11 Recap	A Sphincter Says What? Wayne's World - "What?" says Lucy. "What?" says Martin. "What?" says Ruthie. "What?" says Wayne Newton.	2004.11.29 2004.12.04	C	Sara M

9-9 Recap	Cornucopia of Crazy Thanksgiving - Annie's looking forward to the first Thanksgiving in years with all the CamKids around. Unfortunately, everyone has plans to be elsewhere, which may have something to do with the fact that their mother is insane and therefore not very fun to spend time with. Meanwhile, Lucy proves that the crazy apple pandowdy doesn't fall far from the tree.	2004.11.15 2004.11.20	A+	Sara M
9-8 Recap	Fostering Failure, Adopting Apathy Why Not Me? - Simon gets kicked out of campus housing, sending RevCam off on yet another Helping People Without Actually Helping Anyone Crusade. But first, he has to teach Kevin a lesson about what a crappy father he'll be.	2004.1.001 2004.11.06	F	Sara M
9-7 Recap	Another Episode About Dead Soldiers Regret To Inform - A Marine dies just in time to stop Martin from escaping the CamPound. Honestly, I'm starting to wonder if this is Brenda's subversive way of telling us, right before the election, how wrong and needlessly destructive the "War on Terror" is.	2004.10.25 2004.10.30	F	Sara M
9-6 Recap	Father, Why Bother? Fathers - The show that takes every opportunity to tell us how great Martin's dad is for abandoning his son to fight in Iraq devotes an episode to teaching us about the importance of a father being involved in his child's life. This is especially true when the mother is prone to fifteen-hour shopping excursions.	2004.10.18 2004.10.23	C-	Sara M
9-5 Recap	Bold Stance Vote - In an episode all about the upcoming presidential elections, Brenda manages to avoid offending any of her viewers' delicate sensibilities by refusing to name any of the candidates or political parties that the various Camdens support. Right, like anyone who watches this show votes Democrat.	2004.10.11 2004.10.16	A	Sara M
9-4 Recap	Pregnant cause Bad Boys, Bad Boys, Whatcha Gonna Do - RevCam and Annie save an uneducated, unemployed teenage couple from giving up their unplanned, unwanted baby for adoption. Whew! Close one!	2004.10.04 2004.10.09	N/A	Daniel
9-3 Recap	The Crap Miner's Daughter The Song Of Lucy - Lucy sings about being a coal miner's daughter, then writes her first sermon as the church's new Associate Pastor. Ruthie wants to date a tween idol who, at sixteen, is pretty much over-the-hill as far as that goes. Simon goes to therapy. Annie is surprisingly sane. RevCam is a tool.	2004.09.27 2004.10.02	C	Sara M
9-2 Recap	Laid The Best Laid Plans - Lucy reveals that she's scared about being a mother. Simon reveals that he's been having pre-marital sex, and a lot of it. RevCam reveals that he's incapable of accepting behavior that doesn't fall under his rigid set of morals. Although we knew that last one already.	2004.09.20 2004.09.25	B	Sara M
9-1 Recap	Drop This Show Dropping Trou - It's Season Nine, people. Season NINE. And this goddamn show is on. Unbelievable. In the season premiere, Simon's shirt-buttoning indicates that he could be having the sex; Lucy's pregnant, but acting surprisingly non-crazy about it (we'll see if that lasts); and Ruthie is as evil as ever. But this time, she gets punished.	2004.09.13 2004.09.18	C	Sara M
8-23 Recap	Lies, Lies, Lies, Yeah! Little White Lies, Part II - ...and still, no one really lies. Lots of other stuff happens, though: Invisible Mary has her baby. The CamRents go to see it. Martin and Asslee break up. Matt and PC get back together. Peter and Ruthie break up, then get back together. Chandler makes out with his adopted kid's tutor. Simon comes home.

8-22 Recap	Tell Me Lies, Tell Me Sweet Little Lies Little White Lies, Part I - Or not; only one lie is told in this entire episode. Matt and Simon are back, as is Mary, who will remain neither seen nor heard, even though she's giving birth. Ruthie might be going to Mexico for a year. Please let this happen. Please. Please.	2004.05.10 2004.05.15	C	Sara M
8-21 Recap	Refugee Camp Kwitcherbitchin' Lost And Found - Everyone whines about issues so petty that they don't even deserve to be called problems. Then Ruthie and Peter meet the Lost Boys, and RevCam, in his infinite smugness, realizes that his life is way better than theirs, so he shouldn't take it for granted. Annie spends the entire episode cooking, like the good little wife she is.	2004.05.03 2004.05.08	N/A	Sara M
8-20 Recap	High High And Dry - ...is what you'll need to be to get through this episode, in which we learn, over and over and over and over again, that drinking is bad and wrong, even if it's in moderation and done by legal adults.	2004.04.26 2004.05.01	N/A	Sara M
8-19 Recap	For Stale By Owner There's No Place Like It - Lucy and Kevin engage in a bidding war with Chandler and his boyfriend -- er, "son" -- over a house that isn't even worth the asking price. Smart. RevCam and Annie decide to use their pitifully small savings to buy the CamPound. Smarter. Peter suspects his dad is dating Aunt Julie. Smartest. Also, Roxanne is a bottle blonde.	2004.04.19 2004.04.24	C-	Sara M
8-19 Extra	Chainsaws Don't Kill People; People Kill People The Texas Chainsaw Massacre - Jessica Biel stars in a movie about the one family that may be more dysfunctional than the Camdens.	2004.04.15 2004.04.14	C-	Sara M
8-18 Recap	I Dream of Weenie Angel - Chandler dreams about dancing Glenoakians, then decides to adopt a child. Annie spreads a bizarre, almost definitely drug-induced form of joy around town as a way of "mourning" her father. That's right: it is the worst episode of the worst show on television ever. Watch, and never be the same again.	2004.02.30 2004.03.06	F	Sara M
8-17 Recap	Li'l Orphan Annie Two Weddings, An Engagement, And A Funeral - Annie's dad finally dies, and no one else cares. Maybe it's because no one else on this show is related to him anymore. In other news, Mrs. Bink ties the knot with the lamest guy ever, and Brenda Hampton's bizarre obsession with retarded people continues.	2004.02.23 2004.02.28	N/A	Sara M
8-16 Recap	Incestual Healing The Anniversary - Couples act like family members, and family member act like couples. Just a normal day in family-values-rich Glenoak.	2004.02.16 2004.02.21	C	Sara M
8-15 Recap	Illin' Don't Speak Ill Of The Dead Or Of The Living - Peter and Ruthie "speak ill" of George Washington and Abraham Lincoln in an actually creative and interesting school project. Kevin and Lucy "speak ill" of Roxanne and Det. Michaels when they assume that the two are secretly dating. Martin's friend Mac "speaks ill" of Asslee's friend Pam by not dating her because she wet her pants ten years ago and no one has let her forget it since. The actor who plays Annie's dad was ill, but now he's one of "the dead," although since this show has yet to acknowledge that, we're supposed to think he's still among "the living." And Annie is ill in the head.	2004.02.09 2004.02.14	N/A	Sara M
8-14 Recap	Soldier Boy Healing Old Wounds - Martin's dad, the Marine, comes home. He's supposed to talk to Martin about going to college instead of playing professional baseball, but winds up making out with Roxanne. Whoops!	2004.01.26 2004.01.31	F	Daniel
8-13 Recap	Ruthie's World! Party Time! Excellent! Major League - Ruthie wants to party, Martin wants to play pro ball, Lucy wants to annoy her mother greatly, and Chandler wants to stab his mother repeatedly.	2004.01.19 2004.01.22	F	Daniel
8-12 Recap	Love conquers all The Prodigal Father - If you have an aversion to saccharine, rose-coloured portrayals of mentally handicapped people as simple creatures full of goodness and wisdom, avoid the last fifteen minutes of this episode. If you have an aversion to bad acting and terrible dialogue, this episode may have been fatal.	2004.01.12 2004.01.17	F	Daniel
8-11 Recap	Bad Happens When Bad Conversations Happen To Good People - Matt comes home to tell his parents that he failed at marriage and school. Ruthie breaks a cookie jar and frames the twins, who have enough to deal with without getting blamed for her stuff, like the fact that they don't know how to use underwear. Richard Lewis guest-stars yet again. Annie withholds judgment and baked potatoes.	2004.01.05 2004.01.08	N/A	Sara M
8-11 Extra	RevCam's Secret Past The Babysitter's Seduction - Before he got saddled with a naggy haggy wife and seven crappy kids, RevCam was a mass-murdering cradle-robber in this TV movie.	2003.12.30 2003.12.29	N/A	Sara M
8-10 Recap	Matt Is Still Stupid The One Thing - To what should be no one's surprise, Matt isn't a very competent doctor, despite his proficiency at blood-drawing and intubating. The regular cast phones its performance in, both figuratively and literally.	2003.11.24 2003.12.01	C	Sara M
8-9 Recap	Missing: Alice, and Eleven Cast Members Go Ask Alice - RevCam messes with the wrong principal when he takes on Mizzz Jones, so he turns his attention towards the one family that might be more dysfunctional than his own. Meanwhile, the love triangle between Martin, Asslee, and RevCam gets even more complicated when Martin and Asslee have a fight. We see blessedly little of the rest of the cast.	2003.11.17 2003.11.22	B-	Sara M
8-8 Recap	Sleepover Madness Baggage (a.k.a. Out Of The Past) - This week's fascinating episode focuses on sleepovers. Paris wants Chandler to spend the night with her, but he spends it with Roxanne instead. Don't worry, virginity enthusiasts -- he's still as pure as driven snow. Peter spends the night at the CamPound, because it's healthy for thirteen-year-old couples to have sleepover parties. Lucy most likely spends a night locked in her bathroom because she's mad at Kevin, and Ruthie's mad because Asslee might as well sleep at the Camdens', since she's around so darn much.	2003.11.10 2003.11.15	A	Sara M
8-7 Recap	Annie's BlocKKK Party Getting To Know You - What better way to deal with a neighborhood full of bigots than to give them a block party so as to facilitate the handing out of white power literature?	2003.11.03 2003.11.08	C-	Sara M
8-6 Recap	A Muslim In Need Is A Friend Indeed Charity Begins At Home - RevCam tells everyone to stop being so damn selfish and help someone else for a change. Various cast members respond by performing self-serving "good" deeds, like volunteering at a youth group for the sole purpose of seeing an ex-girlfriend, or making a new son-in-law fly across country for a sandwich. Ruthie the Good Christian helps and befriends all the lonely Muslim girls, for they surely cannot do it themselves.	2003.10.20 2003.10.25	B+	Sara M
8-5 Recap	Of Camdens Simon's Home Video (a.k.a. The Kid Is Out Of The Picture) - 7th Heaven outdoes even itself in sheer boring and terrible television, in a clip show with no clips and even less sense.	2003.10.13 2003.10.18	N/A	Sara M
8-4 Recap	St. Martin of Ass-kissy I Wasn't Expecting That! - Brenda Hampton takes a big risk by appealing to the majority of America's pro-military sentiment with new character Martin, who apparently thinks that having a dad stationed in Iraq entitles him to break into other people's homes and eat their food. Meanwhile, Kevin gets emasculated in the line of duty, and Simon desperately appeals to his family for some affection before he goes to college. And guest star Richard Lewis provides us with the most disgusting thing in television history when he makes out with Annie.	2003.10.06 2003.10.11	N/A	Sara M
8-3 Recap	Secrets Revealed PK (a.k.a. Preacher's Kid) - It turns out that Det. Michaels has a whole life outside of the Camdens, containing such potentially arresting (forgive the pun) drama as divorce, a son who abandons his own child, and undercover work. Of course, the show focuses more on Kevin babysitting and Simon getting help from a network of preacher's kids to go to college early than any of that, with some stuff about Chandler dating up a storm with the weird women who attend his church thrown in for good measure.	2003.09.29 2003.10.03	N/A	Sara M
8-2 Recap	Blah, Blah, Black Sheep An Early Fall - Mary's back for a contractually obliged visit. Even though she obviously hates and/or resents her oldest daughter, Annie arranges a "family" dinner to celebrate. The possibility of free food and drama attracts the entire town to the festivities. Then Mary announces that she's married to a man who used to be homeless, and everyone's appetite is ruined. Simon expresses his desire to go to a distant college in the near future. Simon and Asslee and Roxanne and Chandler break up for good. Unfortunately, Peter and Ruthie are still going strong. Even more unfortunately, Mary and Carlos figured out how to breed, and a second-generation CamSpawn is on the way.	2003.09.22 2003.09.26	F	Sara M
8-1 Recap	The Long Bad Show The Long Bad Summer (1) - The eighth season starts in style as all of last season's cliffhangers are wrapped up with boring exposition dialogue, thereby rendering any time you might have spent caring about them over the summer a complete waste. Lucy's not pregnant, the "death" we were promised last season turned out to be some guy we never heard of before, we never find out if Chandler and Roxanne had sex, and Mary is still stupid.	2003.09.15 2003.09.19	B	Sara M
7-22 Recap	Die already Life And Death, Part II - Lucy may be pregnant. Xtina may be a hooker, or may have a heart of gold. In the CamVerse, it can't be both. Either way, Simon can't take her to the prom. We never see him make up with Cecilia. Chandler confronts his dying father. Ruthie tells everyone about getting her period. Mary and Robbie are back, but does anyone really care?	2003.05.19 2003.05.20	N/A	Alex Richmond
7-21 Recap	Cycles Life And Death, Part I - Barry and wife are expecting a kid -- or are they? Ruthie got her period -- or did she? Chandler...Hampton's dad is really nice -- or is he? Mary has a cell phone. She really does. Plus, this new girl, Christina, moves in and puts the moves on Simon.	2003.05.12 2003.05.12	N/A	Alex Richmond
7-20 Recap	Dick sucks! Dick - Peter still hates Dick, who intends to marry Peter's mom. Chandler has to marry a few couples in Eric's stead. One half of one of the couples is special guest star Mayim Bialik. Cecilia's parents want to be married by Eric, too. It's just a big old wedding theme. "Old" being the operative word, as Lucy just got married two weeks ago.	2003.05.05 2003.05.06	F	Alex Richmond
7-19 Recap	Take Back Your Bink That Touch Of Bink (1) - Eric takes the pulpit, only to have the roof fall in on his pointy head. Lo, let there be fundraising. Special guest Eileen Brennan is the best little fundraiser in Glenoak. Her technique? Blackmailing everyone in town. Lucy and Kevin are still disgustingly happy. Plus, Peter's mom's new beau is, um, a freak. And not in a good way.	2003.04.28 2003.05.03	N/A	Alex Richmond
7-18 Recap	We Do We Do - It's the long-awaited wedding episode where Lucy signs over her life to the scary T-1000. From the stupid "will the guests arrive in time" subplot to the not-at-all-surprising "surprise" guest, this "special" 150th episode sure is one big snoozefest.	2003.04.21 2003.04.23	C	Cate
7-17 Recap	High Anxiety High Anxiety - Simon and Asslee get kicked out of a kiddy flick for making out. RevCam and SuperMom try to help the Hamiltons, with truly dull results. Roxanne threatens to quit the police force after her father shoots the man who murdered her mother. Lucy threatens to quit school so she can plan her wedding, but Kevin sets her straight.	2003.02.24 2003.03.02	F	Cate
7-16 Recap	Stand down Stand Up - Lucy's wedding becomes a battleground for Annie and Eric's churchy issues. Of course, Eric decides to return to the church. Anything to shut his family up. Plus, Simon catches a thief at his new job, and Ben loses a rescue dog.	2003.02.17 2003.02.18	C-	Alex Richmond
7-15 Recap	I Love Lucy I Love Lucy - Kevin finally proposes to Lucy while their families look on. Chandler proposes to a mirror and then almost proposes to Roxanne, but she tells him to wait. Ben makes out with Peter's mom.	2003.02.10 2003.02.15	F	Cate
7-14 Recap	Smoking Smoking - It doesn't matter what the individual plotlines are about. All you really need to know is that smoking is bad for you, and that Brenda thinks all smokers are stupid and rude. Oh, and that Jason London is way hotter than Jeremy London.	2003.02.03 2003.02.09	A+	Cate
7-13 Recap	It's Not Always About You It's Not Always About You - The thirteenth episode of the season is totally unlucky -- for the viewers. Simon gets to date Cecilia, but only if he agrees to keep it in his pants. RevCam goes to therapy some more, and Annie joins him. The T-1000 becomes more abusive than ever when Lucy tries to get out of jury duty.	2003.01.27 2003.02.01	N/A	Cate
7-12 Recap	Back In The Saddle Again Back In The Saddle Again - Ruthie meets an upbeat girl with cystic fibrosis who inspires her to beat everyone senseless with this week's theme mallet.

7-11 Recap	Sunday Sunday - Chandler and Roxanne daringly hold hands on their first date. Lucy would stalk them, but she can't find anyone who'd like to accompany her. RevCam writes an erotic novel that gets Annie all hot and bothered. No such problems for Simon and Cecilia. While they do decide to have sex, they also decide to discuss it with their parents first. This pretty much guarantees them a nookie-free future.	2003.01.06 2003.01.12	F	Cate
7-10 Recap	Ushering in the crap A Cry For Help - Eric Camden becomes a DJ at a college radio station for, like, an hour, and saves someone who thinks suicide is a solution. Usher, on a break from selling Twix cookie bars, guest-stars as his producer, who sneakily hired Eric to lure him back to helping people. Not to rescue the suicidal kid. Seriously, that's what came out of Usher's own mouth. His agenda was to help the preacher mired in self-pity, not the kid who wanted to off himself. Swear to you-know-who.	2002.11.25 2002.11.25	C-	Alex Richmond
7-9 Recap	Lost Lunch Lost Souls - The scene? A pool hall hosting a honky-tonk country band. The players? The Camden family, plus Roxanne and Cecilia. The premise? Find Lucy. She's having a picnic in the church with the new pastor. And where oh where is Reverend Camden's faith? He's lost that as well; he "quits" the "God business" and doesn't want to help anyone anymore. A little neighbor boy finds lust in the form of Ruthie, but is lost from his house just down the street. Get it? It's a theme. Other things that were lost during this episode include various lunches, marbles, sense, minds, and "it."	2002.11.18 2002.11.19	C-	Alex Richmond
7-8 Recap	Under Pressure Peer Pressure - Eric pressures Rabbi Richard Lewis to spy on Rev Lite with him. Lucy pressures Simon to spy on Kevin and Roxanne. Ruthie pressures a little Muslim girl into defying her religion and wearing make-up and obsessing over boys with her. Ruthie's boyfriend pressures her into being in an "exclusive relationship," because a girl is pressuring him to go to party and he can't say no on his own. Get it? There's pressure.	2002.11.11 2002.11.12	C-	Alex Richmond
7-8 Extra	Freaks And Greeks Sorority Boys - Frat brothers Barry Watson, Michael Rosenbaum, and the rapidly aging Harland Williams dress as women and live in a sorority house, thereby making the show Bosom Buddies seem creative and intriguing by comparison.	2002.11.09 2002.11.08	N/A	Sara M
7-7 Recap	Gabrielle Come Blow Gabrielle Come Blow Your Horn - RevCam is still laid up, but domestic help comes in the form of Phyllis Diller, playing a housekeeper. Irony, thy name is SevHev. Also, Lucy misunderstands something and gets really mad at Kevin, and Simon is steamed because Cecilia has a hot French boyfriend. You like French guys?	2002.11.04 2002.11.04	C+	Alex Richmond

7-5 Recap	The Heart Of The Matter The Heart Of The Matter - While Eric undergoes open-heart surgery, his vile family (and assorted hangers-on) gather at the hospital and pretend to offer their support. In actuality, they're all obsessed with their own petty, selfish little concerns. If Eric were smart, he'd fake his own death and ditch this entire pack of losers.	2002.10.14 2002.10.21	N/A	Cate
7-4 Recap	Bowling For Eric Bowling For Eric - Eric learns he must have o
