7th Heaven

I this episode was so bad. I have made the assumption that Eric died on the opperation table the episode before. Because there is no way in hell that all those bodies would have fit in that RV. Plus what the hell is Ruthie thinking picking T-bone over Martin. It's so obvious that she likes him more. The writers did really bad. The very ending when that man shows up that right away this is heaven for Eric, because he lets some stranger show the way across the country. You know that, that is god for him or Jesus because you must follow them. Over all it was a terrible ending.

Okay so this show is AMAZING but this episode was not so good. I expected it to end with more closure than the Camdens just driving off into the sunset. That just does not seem like a thing the Camdens would do. After Eric's heart returning to normal, he does not just drive off into the sunset! As much as I love this show, it does not seem like it ended well at all. I would have prefered a closure to Lucie and Kevin's story too. We never do find out if they decide to move or not! If you like this show you won't like the ending.

Season 11 has had its ups and downs and is easily considered the worst season of 7th Heaven (although I think its a tie with Season 8). Honestly, I felt that the episode previous to this one set up the series finale to actually be the saving grace of season 11. Eric is healthy. Martin finally got his act together and told Ruthie his true feelings. Lucy announces she is pregnant. It all set up a great series finale but once again the writers disappointed me. Eric and Annie: I've got to say that I enjoyed Eric and Annie is this episode. I think its completely believable that after the year they had they would want to go out and experience life in a way they haven't before. The only complaint I have is how exactly can they afford this trip. The Camdens are always on a budget and gas isn't exactly cheap. Lucy and Kevin: I was really excited when I first heard about the Crossroads story but when I saw it executed, I was disappointed. Not only did Crossroads turn out to be a pseudo-cult but the plot had to be dragged. And of course, the writers can't commit themselves to making a decisions so the viewers are stuck wondering what Lucy and Kevin ultimately decide. And may I add, how dare the writers make us doubt whether Eric's really healthy. Ruthie: Okay, Ruthie is my biggest complaint of this episode as she has been for the entire season. If the writers never wanted Martin and Ruthie together in the end, then they never should of brought Martin back into her life at the last minute like they did. There was no point. Granted some may say it was showed character growth for her to reject Martin. But real character growth would have seen her rejecting boths boys because T Bone did nothing for Ruthie's growth. I would argue T Bone made Ruthie more immature. Ultimately, the problem with Ruthie's storyline is we never see her thinking the T Bone vs. Martin thing over and we never get any lead in to her graduating early. I know Mackenzie Rosman's shooting schedule is to blame for so much this season occuring off screen. Its such a shame since Ruthie had the most potential to all the characters on the show. The others: Everyone else in this episode are just a nuisance. Sandy has her place but am I really to believe that all those people would just drop their lives to go off in an RV? And why the heck wasn't Martin included? Out everyone, Martin was most like family. The actor and the character deserved better than to be in one scene where he gets rejects by someone, who I believe to be his soul mate. (Sorry I had to get my Marthie in there). Overall, I ended the episode very glad that the show was over just so I didn't have to keep hoping the writers would get better. Despite the dismal series finale, 7th Heaven will always remain one of my favorite shows and one of the best family dramas in TV history.

I loved it I would like to know what the song was that was played at the end, and who sings it. I have watched 7th heaven since the first episode. I still watch the reruns. I have been trying to find out about that song. I don't rememmber many of the words, and all the video clips I can find only show the beginging or other parts of the final episode. I wish that 7th heaven could have stayed on the air, but everyone was growing up and moving away. I am also very glad that Eric did not dye. I was sure with all his heart problems and dreams that he had been having that he ws a gonner.

The Colonel and Ruth have sent an RV as a gift for Eric's good news. Eric and Annie decide to leave for a trip the next day. Lucy doesn't think it's a good idea, but wants to go anyway. Eric, Annie, Lucy, Kevin, Ruthie, Happy, Samson, Delilah, Savannah Sam, and David are the original travelers. Then Jane, Mac, Margaret, T-Bone, Sandy, and Aaron also go with them. The rules are one small suitcase and three other things. Lucy and Kevin think that Eric may be lying about being better. Ruthie says that she graduated high school early. She also knows something about Simon. They are ready to depart on their trip.



This episode was okay, but as a series finale, it could've done much better. I liked the opening credits, but everything else just wasn't there. No flashbacks, no special songs and what's really upsetting is...NO SIMON, NO MATT, and NO MARY!!!! This episode gets an 8.5 out of 10!

I can't believe it's over. I'm gonna miss it sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much. It seems like the pilot was aired yesterday. Another great show is over, and I don't know what we're gonna do without it. I watched every single episode of 7th Heaven, sometimes even a reply. I'm just mad because they didn't bring back all Camdens. I was so happy when i heard that they gonna bring it back for another season. But now, that season is over too, and they won't bring it back again. This was the best show that i ever watched. Goodbye 7th Heaven, and thank you!

ugghhh im so mad that ruth chose t-bone instead of martin! martin was way better than t-bone! the director/writter knew that the whole wrold wanted ruthie and martin but noooo!!! ahhhh!!! this always happens! the only part that i liked was the end when they were all leaving and the annie had a bottle and her and eric broke it were it says 7th eaven in the rv!!! oh yeah it was funny that they could only take 3 things and 1 suite case! sam and david are so cute ;D! im going to miss all of them! especially ruthie! she grew up to fast and into a beautiful women! i grew up watching her! sometimes i got annoyed because she became a brat as she got older but whatever! im gonna miss the show!

I thought this episode was absolutley horrible. I dont understand why the writers couldnt come up with something better. They have been writing fabulous episodes for 11 years! I am so mad!!!!!!!!!!!!!! afjkhd fjdhafjdf jhdfasjdfhkas jdfhasjdfhkjshd jfhsjdhfjk dfjkshdfjkl shdfjhas hdshdlkjashd jsahdfkl jdfjhasdfj hjdsfh jksdhfjdshfjhd h h h h h h h h h h h h jh jkhjhjhkjh kjh kjh kjh kjh kjhkjhkjh jh j h h jijgf fd f f f f d d s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s that was just to make 100 words. :)

I am back. It's been a year since I have written a review. Troubles with this site and my computer. But I am back. Stay with me folks, it's been a while. I may be a bit rusty here. Anyways, this is it. The end of 7th Heaven. The REAL end. Or is it?. Given the open ending, or no ending if you like, of the finale, the Camdens may be back on our small screens in the future to give us some actual closure. That would be good, because this finale certainly wasn't it in any way. It has to be said that 7th has had an amazing, long life. To come back from cancelation for an 11th season on another network is just another twist in this little show that could's life. Sadly, it's return was a mixed bag. Season 11 was full of some good ideas and moments, and some that were...not so much. The show premiered quietly for the new season, and it stayed quiet all season long. It could be said that the CW didn't do much to help 7th, and you would be right. Needless to say, 7th didn't have the life it used to have for the 10 years before this. Season 11 had it's merits. The Eric storyline was good and had some stronger and deeper than normal material for the show. The addition of all the new kids was another matter entirely. But, we're talking about the swan song here, aren't we?. The latter half had some good episodes(Deacon Blues, Tit For Tat, and some others), and it was building towards being better than the end of last season....that is, until we got to the two episodes in a row dealing with just the kids. It hit a road block. "Good News For Almost Everyone" was a wonderful episode, and would of been better as a finale than the one we got. "And Away We Go" is kind of an odd finale in such that it isn't really like a finale at all. In this way, last year's "finale" was much better. More on this later. First, what exactly went down in the Camden's final little screen appearance?.



Eric comes home from work to find a giant RV parked in the backyard of the Camden abode. Annie tells the surprised Eric that it was a present from the Colonel in regards to Eric's clean bill of health. After one last Eric/Annie whoopee session, the good rev decides to chuck it all and go on a road trip. Just he, Annie, and the boys. Or so he thinks. Once Eric's news gets around, the rest of the family pretty much gets on board for the trip across America. Where are they going?. Who knows!. What are they going to do?. Who knows!. Will they be back?. Who knows!. Eric's rule for everyone is that they only bring 3 items. They could be gone forever, but 3 items is apparently enough, even with Lucy who has a small child and is expecting another, we learn. Lucy and family, along with Jane, Margaret, Mac, T-Bone, Sandy, Dr. Sanderson(yeah, right) are all a part of this. In the end, good 'ol Stanley climbs on board. Eric and Annie christen the behemoth vehicle, emblazened with "7th Heaven" on the back of it, and pull out of dodge. The last scene ever of 7th Heaven?. Eric looking at himself in the side mirror. What a let down.



In side news, Ruthie rejects Martin(yay!), and Lucy and Kevin are still undecided about Crossroads. We don't get an answer. I am glad that Ruthie turned Martin down. First and foremost, they were not right for each other. They looked completely wrong and ridiculous with one another. Martin was pretty unlikeable all year, as he was last season. He made his way around with a few of the females on the show, and then decides it's Ruthie, who has moved on with T-Bone. Sorry Martin, too late. Just too late. I am glad Ruthie realized this and the writers too. I am no fan of Ruthie at all, but I was proud of her in that scene.



Compared to last year's finale, this one is pretty poor. Last year had it's problems and attacks from fans and critics, but at least it had a sense of the show, a sense of finality. It had Matt and Mary, Simon, and even Sarah. It had the flashbacks to the first show, and little touches of the early years here and there, including Roy Orbison's "You Got It". This one didn't really have anything. There was nothing significantly special about this episode at all. There were no answers, just more questions. Nothing was wrapped up with a neat little bow. It felt, in ways, to be more of a season finale cliffhanger than anything else. Something a lot of people felt last year's finale was like with the whole Simon/Sandy thing. Except for the opening credits, which had pictures from past seasons, there was nothing really here, except for Ruthie's little "what are we doing?" comment from years past. And so, after 11 seasons and 243 episodes, it's over. The Camden clan with extended family ride off into the sunset. 7th Heaven became sort of odd in it's later years, and this finale is no exception. Brenda Hampton has a way of annoying even her biggest fans with 7th's finales. Season finales?. Great. Series finales?. Not so good at.



In the end, the finale of 7th Heaven was nothing great nor anything special. No real ending, no fanfare. Should it of come back at all?. I have been a fan and faithful watcher since 1998. I was glad to see the Camdens back, but not see them a shadow of their former selves in terms of ratings. How would I of ended it?. Eric and Annie traveling was not such a bad idea, really. It was the execution that ruined it. In my finale, Eric would of retired, and the church, along with the Camden house, would of been passed over to the new Reverend, Lucy. She and clan get it all while Kevin goes back to work for the Police department. A passing of the torch kind of thing. Eric and Annie would move on, but eventually come back. Now that, I would of accepted.



Was there anything I liked?. Well, I liked the song they played while everyone was loading up. That picture of them all standing in line was kind of classic. Also, Brenda threw in some clever dialogue that I liked. The scene where Eric was looking for the road map. He says "1996. Kind of dusty", or something along those lines. A reference to the show itself, which debuted in 1996, and some would say was "dusty" by that time. Also, T-Bone talking to Eric about being a family man and being the last great family man and all that. It seemed to allude the stories going around about 7th's demise and the demise of the family show and fathers and such. Nice touches there, Brenda. I give you that.



So long Camdens, and when that cramped RV starts getting on your nerves, come on back to Glen Oak and give us some answers and some real closure.

The show was a great show. And it lasted as long as anybody expected it to go. Will miss the show as the family plans to go on a RV all over the US. With only a suitcase and three important items with cellphone being one of them. While Ruthie will plan to spend the rest of her life with T-Bone. Shannon is graduating from college. Good-bye 7th Heaven, you will be missed!

I can't believe the show is over. I remember when all of the kids were so young and know they are all grown up. This episode in my opinion was the best! I am so happy Kevin and Lucy are going to have another baby. T ending was so good. I love how they are all going to go on a vacation together as a big family. I am also happy about Eric's sickness being gone and it was funny when he started feeling better and the doctors were woried about him! I wish the two oldest kids were in the finalle it would have been better.

Wow! After eleven wonderful seasons, this show has come to an end! I am very sad to see it go! However, i think thatu there is a very very good chance for a spinoff in 2008! this was a great show and I am going to miss it! Eric's parents send him an RV as a "got well present" and Eric and Annie decide to take the RV on the road, the next day!! As each minute passes by more people join Eric and Annie on their adventure until evenually it's: Eric, Annie, Ruthie, Lucy, Sandy, Kevin, T-Bone, Mac, Margret, Jane, Aaron and Savannah as well as Jesus and Mom (the boys' hampsters) and Smason, Deliliah, and Happy! Wow! With the possibility of picking up Jonathon and Simon!!! ;) That's a large number! However, they all board the RV with their '3 things' and sutcases! This show went out with a bang! I will miss this show so much because it's a good family show and teaches ggood morals anfd life lessons!

is seventh heaven really over for good or is it just a break cause i hear that this show will be back soon and i dont know if they are taking a break from the show or coming back or if they are really really over for good could some one please tell me so that i can know??????????????????????????????????????? also, when is beverley mitchell getting married cause i heard that she was engaged but did she or is she getting married soon and what about october road????????????????????????????????????????

Like to know if Simon is going to stay in the series. Is Mary coming back. Would be nice to see Mary and Carlos' twins and Matt and Sarah's twins. Bring back Lucy and Kevin. Ruthie would like to travel and maybe settle down. Sam and David are now in 2nd grade and going after their dreams of one day becoming a baseball, football or basketball star to follow their siblings. Annie and Eric are still on the road, when they get back they will visit their children who have moved into their house. Will come back to visit children.

So this show was resurrected for another last season, and I'm not sure it was worth it. I haven't been a dedicated 'Heaven' watcher for a couple of years now, but I did watch the finale last year, as well as this one. Last year's finale was so much better. First of all, it had the entire cast in it. (Even if Jessica Biel's screen time was only a few minutes.) Despite the fact that the Camdens have always taken various "family-less" young people into their home, this year it seemed out of control, probably due to the number of original children that didn't show up for another last season. And in what reality do young people want to travel America in an RV with adults that they aren't even related to? Most young people won't even spend that kind of time with their relatives. And finally, I'd like to meet the minister of any modest-sized church that can afford to take off from his job for an eternal vacation and still have money to provide for the dozen family members and "adopted" family members traveling with him. I'll agree that this episode was an okay way to not leave any storylines hanging, but they could have come up with something a little more believable. (Something like the finale of Growing Pains...)

The series finale of 7th Heaven, I loved last years series finale but this was so much better. It fell some tears from my eyes it were so beutiful. When erice said the last words ever of 7th Heaven I said thank god for a good ending. The perfect ending with a road trip with the family and friends. So well writen, so well played and so sad. I think it was the perfect way too say goodbye. The fans must love it, goodbye 7th Heaven and Away We Go For The Very Last time ever, Goodbye 7th Heaven !!

I thought it was appropriate that Eric and Annie decided to see some of the United States after all these of not going anywhere. Funny how originally it was only going them, Ruthie and the twins and it mushroomed into friends and family coming along.



The only thing I didn't like was Lucy acting like a little kid because her parents were going away and she wasn't. She's in 24-25 years old, married, with a two year old daughter and another baby on the way and she still gets upset. Ruthie acted more mature then she did. I just don't get why she would care that her parents are going on on a trip and on a happy note too.



Other then that I thought the ending was good. It showed how Eric and Annie have contributed to the Glenoak community for the past 11 years and now they've decided to do something for themselves. Being carefree, spontanious without any worries. Ideal life for anyone, if they can have it.



I'm going to miss 7th Heaven but it is their time to go. I started watching it at the beginning of season 2 when all five kids were in school for the first time and was hooked ever since. One thing that has remained true for the show over the years is how they deal problems that people face and how Eric and Annie have shown their kids to reach out to those in need.

Whatever happened to 7th Heaven being a family drama? Being a show that entertains just about everyone? I liked the beginning of Season 1, most of 2, some of 3, then things got a little better in 4. As far as Season 5, I don't remember much happening that was of much importance. Season 6... I remember it having a great opener, then getting kinda cheesy, then coming back up again for the last five or six episodes. As for Season 7, I don't remember seeing many of those episodes, so I don't really have much to say. Seasons 8 and 9 were pretty good, as far as I'm concerned. The middle of Season 8 I remember being great. Season 9 ended well, although it could of been a little better in my opinion. The Season 10 opener was excellent. It brought out an unknown character in Martin, for one. It simply showed how irresponsible people can get, and how how careless people can get. That's why I thought it was really good. The Season 10 opener was realistic, yet unrealistic at the same time. The rest of Season 10 was great, also. An episode I remeber being really good, actually excellent would be a much better word for it, was episode 212:And Baby Makes Three. That episode was absolutely amazing, but one question I still have for it, is why Sandy was allowed to leave the hospital when she was in labor? That I don't get. I mean, come on, it is 100% UNREALISTIC!!! Seriously, women are not allowed to do that! That shouldn't of gone that way, but still, it did, and there's not much we can do about that right now. (oh well) Season 11 went really well. Deacon Blues was my favorite episode, because of the honesty Sandy showed in front of the church, and the respect she showed for Eric and Lucy, as well as the people of the community.

As for this episode..... hmm.... What happened? Let's See Here...

uhh, wait, still thinking...

Nope, not there yet, hang on...

Uhh...

Having a problem here...

OH YEAH!!!!!!

*Eric and Annie decide they're gonna... Wait, there's something before that... OOPS!!!

*The Camdens recieve an RV as a present for Eric because he got better... wierd reason, oh well. Anyway, yeah there was that... then...

*Eric and Annie plan to go on a vacation trip ALONE. *Others want to join in on the trip...

*Eric and Annie basically say Yeah, sure, what the heck. You can come... to Sam and David and the others currently living in their houshold.

*We find out everybody going on the trip across America must only have one suitcase, and three items, like cell phone, toy, bokk, and things like that.

*Lucy and Kevin decide to go, and Lucy takes it upon herself to invite the girl she used to absolutely hate, who's now basically her new best friend, Sandy.

*Sandy decides to join in on the trip, and brings Aaron along, too. *Everyone's ready for the trip, and then Stanley decides he wants to join the Camdens on their family and "extended family" trip.

*Eric decides he is going to let Stanley join in on the trip. (even though he isn't family) He just says "So? Why not. Today's the fist day of the rest of my life, Stanley." (yeah, I posted that quote, along with Lucy's "I'm really happy we met you, Sandy" and "Why weren't we worried about this before... We belived him... Why don't we believe him now... I don't know, it's not like I don't believe in miracles... Those are mine, so you all know.)

*And then, it was over... Just like that. For "the longest running family drama in American history ever recorded" this was pretty crappy, but, you're lucky I liked some of this episode. Seriosly, this episode should've shown respect since it has been worked on for the last 11 years.

i loved this show so much and have been watching it for a long time and cant believe that its finally coming to an end (i gues we'll see if its really the series finale or not, lol) but this epsiode wasnt the greatest season finale due to the fact of there being random people going onto the RV and not Martin, whos been on the show for a while. and i wish they had all seven kids on there, like a true season finale should have. it should of been matt, mary, lucy, simon, ruthie, and the twins, and parents. but all well, it was still a great show and will miss it very much.



Congratulations to 7th Heavan!!!

First of all people do not just get up and leave their house. That's odd. Teenagers are not that excited to get in a car to go who-knows-where with their family. And when you write a SERIES FINALE for a show you tie up all the loose ends you don't create new ones. Is Reverend Camden really better? We'll never know. Who's Simon marrying? We'll never know. Will Ruthie and TBone really stay together? We'll never know. Will Martin and Jane get back together? We'll never know. Is that guy really TBone's father? We'll never know. A lot of us have grown up with these characters, they've come into our homes for eleven seasons and we've watched them through good times and bad. Is it too much to ask to know how their lives turn out before they go away? Guess so.

This episode, for being the last was not given the proper respect it deserved. The show has grown up with so many viewers since they were young and the people on the show had become family members to the viewers except for this last year's additional cast that had been added in due to errors on the networks part from the previous cancellation. What a mouthful. Now we are left with questions on Eric's health. What's that about. In reality nobody up and leaves in one day; it's not possible after that many years of being rooted somewhere and in addition to taking all kinds of other people, some having roots as well. It would take at least a few days to get all your business and home affairs in order. Also as a minister, a man of God, who built a church for his whole life, he would not leave those people he cared for just hanging like that. Last week's episode showed how much they cared for him and he cared for them. Network's have no respect for their viewers and that's the way it is. They just cancel and that's it.

The first 30 minutes of this was ZZzzzz for me. They spent all that time talking about what they were taking and who was going when (after 11 years) they blew other opportunity to close some Glenoak ties. The health discussion between Lucy and Kevin was badly misleading. I was thinking as Eric kissed Annie and went to sleep "Oh, no....they are going to have him die now."



So they are off on this trip. With ALL those people. Not to mention two toddlers. Wow.



I still think a better ending would have been Eric helping people (which the show left from and has suffered) without being a minister.



The ending just seemed thrown together and weird. But then the writing has been bad the past couple of years. Look at how much of the main cast was not there. What does that tell you?



Anyway, the show is off the air now. It is done.

Brenda Hampton wrote the series finale that felt sloppy and disjointed. The plot is simple enough -- Eric gets an RV and decides to take off and travel the country. The entire surviving cast gets to come along as well with trite and contrived goodbyes. There is a subplot about Eric that was thrown in there (but never resolved) about if Eric indeed had a heart problem and this was his goodbye. Perhaps Brenda meant to say that the heart issue is not the point. the point is to live life to the fullest at all times (heart or no heart). That is the focus of the episode -- shot entirely on the stage and it hurts the episode tremendously because of that. Why not a wide shot of the RV traveling the road? I wanted some more resolution and more solidification of plot points. From a cynical point of view, perhaps Brenda had no time or just was moving on to other venues. I don't know but I do know this is an abyssmal goodbye to a show that a lot of loyal viewers have stuck around with since the beginning.

No Jessican Beil or Ashley Simpson this show was done as soon as they left. Last night since it was a sunday and nothing else was on i thought i would watch the series finale of this show. I was so dissapointed i thought it was the worst ever for any show. Needed some sort of action. Maybe have them realize taht the dad really was sick. I can recommend the first few season to anyone.. But after Jessica left the show this was a waste of time and last night i wasted my time. i think it sucked. No good.

Well there I was watching last night with my 11 year old daughter, and we were crying like babies. Mostly I was crying because the show is over, and for me thats sad. I love love love 7th heaven, especially the early years. Its a great family show, and my husband, daughter, and I watch it together. As far as the finale though, I did think it was better than last season, but this one left too many questions unanswered for me. For example, I wish that Kevin hadn't brought up the fact that Eric could be lying that he is ok now. I didn't like that. (I know it is only a TV show, but I love Eric!!) :) Also, I found it incredibly unlikely that he would leave the following day. I would have liked to have seen him at least say goodbye to his congregation. I also would have liked to have seen Detective Michaels, Mrs. Bink, people like that. (The other minister he was such great friends with too, I cant remember his name right now!) Also it would have been nice to have Matt, Mary, Simon, and everyone. I did think it was a good episode, but I think they could have done better.

I feel like this was a great finale, better than the season 10 finale. The only thing I wished they did was bring back the Colonel, Ruth, Charles, Matt, Mary, Simon and everyone else. And Ruthie should've chosen Martin!!! I liked the tribute that WB did last season for the show more than this season. All they did was alter the opening sequence a bit. Episode was better, but I want a better tribute.
