Notes

Stephen Collins, Catherine Hicks, Beverley Mitchell, Mackenzie Rosman and Happy are the only five cast members to appear in all 11 seasons of the series. (edit)
Despite the fact that he was the executive producer of ten seasons of 7th Heaven along with his best friend Aaron Spelling, E. Duke Vincent did not do any episode of 7th Heaven's last season. (edit)
Stephen Collins, Catherine Hicks, Beverley Mitchell, Mackenzie Rosman, and Happy are the only actors to appear in both the pilot and the series finale. (edit)
This show lasted one year longer than Beverly Hills 90210, another Aaron Spelling show. (edit)
Stephen Collins has the final lines of the series. (edit)

Quotes

add »
Eric: So, eh why not? Today's the first day of the rest of my life Stanley. (Final line of the series) (edit)
Margaret: Are you ever coming back?
Eric: I don't know that, either.
Margaret: But what about everything here? Your home, your things?
Eric: Oh. You know, I've lost my enthusiasm for "things", so......I don't really care. (edit)
Lucy: You're fine?
Eric: Yes. Why can't anyone believe good news? (edit)
Lucy: (to Kevin, after getting off of the phone) She is on her way here with Aaron and their suitcases. (edit)
Mac: (to Eric) Hey, you think I could drive that RV? (edit)

Trivia

add »
Eric mentions the RV is a gift from his parents. (edit)
It is mentioned by Eric that Simon is graduating college. (edit)
Ruthie finally picks the guy to be with for the rest of her life: T-Bone. (edit)
Apparently, at the end of her junior year of high school, Ruthie is eligible to graduate. This is due to the fact that her semester in Scotland was finished with enough credits to graduate. Strangely, she went from pre-kindergarten in Season 1, straight to first grade in Season 2, so Ruthie must be really smart. (edit)
The main rule for everybody going on the road with Eric and Annie are: one suitcase and three important items (Cellphone and charger being one item). (edit)

"Tearjerker"
THis show was about the whole team going on an Rv trip. The entire family left was going as well as others in the community, as always seems to happen with the Camdens.
