Poll: What's Your Opinion About Faith on TV?
Religion and faith have always had a place in primetime television. Sometimes, it's been dealt with directly, on shows like Touched By An Angel and 7th Heaven.

We'd like to know what you think about primetime's portrayal of religion, and whether television could use more or less of it. Let us know in the poll after the jump...

Ringwald, Smallville Dad Find a Bit of Heaven
ABC Family on Wednesday announced casting for its new, as-yet-untitled series from 7th Heaven creator Brenda Hampton (which, in case you're curious, is currently referred to as the "Untitled Brenda Hampton Project"). Not only has the show signed on Smallville's John Schneider (Jonathan Kent) and Oz's Ernie Hudson (Leo Glynn), but also the former Sixteen-year-old America loved, Molly Ringwald. The series, to air this summer, will be a one-hour drama that — as Ausiello previously reported — centers on a family and their friends after 15-year-old Amy Nicholson becomes unexpectedly pregnancy (no, Diablo Cody is not signed on). The show's recurring cast members will also include newcomer Shailene Woodley (previously seen on The O.C.), Camille Winbush (The Bernie Mac Show) and Allen Evangelista (Zoey 101). How exciting will it be to see these new cast additions together? We'll have to wait for the drama to unfold. — Anna Dimond

The CW Tries Out a Brand New Personality
A year ago, the former stars of the WB and UPN found themselves uncomfortably mingling on one stage for the first upfront of the new CW network. They looked like the kids at the wedding of two single parents.This year, the CW took a step toward developing its own personality, shedding the aging Gilmore Girls, Veronica Mars (the longest-running unsuccessful show in prime time) and All of Us (the weakest link in its lineup of urban sitcoms). The network is even taking the teen out of teen-angst drama One Tree Hill. When that show returns in mid-season, the characters will have been fast-forwarded to their lives after college.The network is replacing All of Us with Aliens In America, a comedy about a Muslim exchange student coming to live in Wisconsin. It looks funny and a little provocative. Who would have thought the CW would have the first sitcom to deal with post-9/11 attitudes?Tuesday at 9 pm brings Reaper, about a slacker whose parents sold his soul to the Devil, played with a br...

Haylie Duff Lives a Nightmare as Heaven Shuts Its Gates
As kid sis Hilary welcomes MTV fans into her pop-star world with a new reality show, Haylie Duff is having a hard time sleeping. In the Lifetime movie Nightmare, premiering Saturday, April 7 at 8 pm/ET, Duff takes on a "smarter" role in a thriller that steers her away from the sweet, maternal character she plays on 7th Heaven (which, it was announced this week, will air its series finale on May 13). TVGuide.com caught up with Duff during her much-needed break to talk up her scare-filled segue as well as get a gander at Heaven's finale. Plus, find out which shows she'll be watching when she's not busy working. TVGuide.com: Tell me about Lifetime's Nightmare.Hayl
7th Heaven Finale Teases "New Beginnings"
When 7th Heaven (once again) wraps up its storied run, the May 13 series finale will tie things in a neat little bow, yet also offer hope for the future. As Haylie Duff tells TVGuide.com, "There is a lot of resolution, and a lot of new beginnings, as well." Though she was only with the Aaron Spelling creation for two of its 11 years, Duff — who stars in the April 7 Lifetime movie Nightmare — says it was an honor to be a part of "a show that will go down in history," noting, "Everyone's experience was so wonderful and we took away from it everything we wanted to, which I think is special and important." — Additional reporting by Megan Cherkezian
Heaven Sent Packing: Latest Finale Airs May 13
The longest-running family drama on television, 7th Heaven, will bow out after 11 years on the air and broadcast its series finale on May 13, the trades are reporting. The series previously (while on WB) aired its "final episode" last May, but was granted a reprieve when the CW gave it a last-minute pickup. But since Everwood isn't around to slight again, this particular finale will probably stick.
Richard Lewis Riffs on This, That and Anything But Love
Like countless other geeky gals, I had a crush on my best male pal throughout college. So watching the late-'80s sitcom Anything But Love, starring Richard Lewis and Jamie Lee Curtis as workplace buddies reluctant to act on their mutual attraction, was like my life — only much, much funnier. Although the black-clad, mullet-sporting Lewis was already a stand-up comedy legend, the series introduced his neurotic, Jewish Jersey boy persona to the prime-time masses. But while the show had a devoted following, it was never a certifiable hit; in fact, it was actually canceled after its second season, until ABC reconsidered and brought it back completely retooled the following year. (It didn't last too long after that.) Despite all the behind-the-scenes drama on this scr
Stephen Collins: "Dating" Diane Keaton Is Pure Heaven
Stephen Collins must have an "in" with The Big Guy Up There, because this weekend the patriarch of the CW's long-running 7th Heaven (Sundays at 8 pm/ET) is hitting the big screen to woo no less than Diane Keaton. TVGuide.com spoke with the actor about slipping out of the reverend's collar to reunite with (and mack on) Annie Hall, and invited him to dispel the "7th Heaven versus Everwood" myth. TVGuide.com: First, let's put some people at ease. Stephen Collins does not have a serious heart condition. Rev. Eric Camden does. I hear there's some confusion?Steph
The Darfur Tragedy Hits Home on 7th Heaven
If you've watched 7th Heaven over its 11-season run — or even caught a glimpse of one episode — you know that the Camdens aren't just about achieving family harmony but about helping the entire community that surrounds them. This week's new episode (Sunday at 8 pm/ET, on the CW) is no exception. In fact, it covers a pressing issue that we've been hearing about every day: Darfur — a topic so devastating, it's a real departure from the common troubles we usually see on this family drama. Filled with information about the crisis abroad, executive producer Brenda Hampton spoke with TVGuide.com about the motivation behind this episode, 7th Heaven's again-uncertain fate, and saying goodbye to some of our favorite Camdens. TVGuide.com: I just watched the Darfur episode, and it's amazing how much dial
CW Picks Up a Pair for Full Season
A fresh press release ("fresh release"?) from the CW network:"The CW network has picked up the back nine episodes of freshman comedy The Game and returning drama 7th Heaven, giving each series a full-season order, it was announced today by Dawn Ostroff, President of Entertainment."Since many of you are about to ask: No, no word yet on Veronica Mars, which this week drew about 200,000 more viewers than the Camdens, against what I would say is more formidable competition (The Unit, Law & Order: CI, Dancing with the Stars). However, I did just get off the horn with Tina Majorino (Mac), who is filming Episode 9 right now and said the ratings thus far are encouraging: "We're thinking we're going to be OK, but we're crossing our fingers."

Men in Trees, meanwhile, was down 350,000, to 7.15 mil.At 10, Numbers (with just shy of 11 million viewers) again topped Law & Order (a season low of 9.4 mil).SUNDAYThe only stories this week were NBC's football coverage (Broncos-Raiders) being down almost 4 million (to 9.4 mil); Housewives placing first at 9 but again with a new low (20.02 mil, down 750,000 week-to-week); and CW's transplanted Monday dramas — 7th Heaven (3.15 mil) and Runaway (1.8 mil) — bringing in, across the two hours, nearly the same viewership as the Chris-All of Us-Girlfriends-The Game sitcom quartet, though Heaven was down m...
Is it true that 7th Heaven is ...
Question: Is it true that 7th Heaven is back for a full, 22-episode season?Answer: Yes, which is strange since I'm pretty sure the CW originally picked it up for only 13. It'd be nice if just once the CW made a decision that resulted in fewer 7th Heaven episodes, rather than more. Is that too much to ask?
