Longest Running Show
A little-known fact about 7th Heaven is that it was, and still is, the longest-running series to air on the now-defunct WB network. It is also the longest-running family TV drama series in television history. The show spanned 11 seasons and almost 250 episodes, and this in itself is a wonderful achievement. These days a lot of shows struggle to make it past the first couple of seasons.
7th Heaven obviously struck a chord among viewers to go on and achieve this impressive feat. At the start of the show’s 10th season, it surpassed Little House on the Prairie and The Waltons to become the longest running family drama show in the history of television. To eclipse both of these ground-breaking shows was a huge achievement for 7th Heaven.
