Catherine credits Season 3's In Praise of Women (where Annie gave birth to twins) as her favorite episode of 7th Heaven, going on to say that she never saw a filmed birthing scene that looked authentic, so doing it right was important to her.

Catherine Hicks: (when "7th Heaven" was starting its 11th season) The show is like a public service at this point. It gives a lot of people something at a time when the world is falling apart. edit »
Catherine Hicks: (about the success of "7th Heaven") I think it came at a time when my generation, as parents, didn't know what we were doing. We read a lot of books, but we don't want to be as strict as our parents were, so as a result we're very lenient. I think Eric and Annie are role models. I think that the parents look to us; the kids look to the show. Everyone can see themselves represented in one or another character. edit »
Catherine Hicks: (about her "7th Heaven" character) In real life I have one little girl, and I can barely do that right. I don't know how Annie does it right for each child, and I admire that she's not selfish. There's no time to get a manicure or pedicure, or get her massages or facials. She's there for the kids, and yet she's funny. She has a sense of humor. She's not just a hausfrau. edit »
