Mitchell marked the 23rd anniversary of The WB drama's premiere on Friday, adding: "Now if only we could get a reboot! Would you be down to watch?”

I want one too!

God bless you and Beverley always!!!

I would like to see a revival of this as well.

I don't think that it's entirely a good idea to reboot or revive 7th Heaven considering the big elephant in the room concerning Stephen Collins. Even if he wasn't going to be in this proposed new show, don't you think that there's inevitably going to still be some backlash against the rest of the cast/crew?

Yeah... are they just going to never mention the dad? Or have him killed off?

To me, until we get a new show if we ever do, the next closest thing to a show like 7th Heaven is Blue Bloods.

God bless you always!!!

Was 7th Heaven too much of a product of its time even without the baggage of Stephen Collins' off-screen behavior? What I mean is that wasn't 7th Heaven a part of what could be considered a trendy, cool Evangelicalism marketing (http://content.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,138337,00.html) movement (https://www.researchgate.net/publication/341551487_Christianity's_Broad_Appeal_in_the_1990s_Touched_by_an_Angel_and_7th_HeavenTouched_by_an_Angel_and_7th_Heaven) of the '90s (https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:F-unqGKIdxMJ:https://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/fl-xpm-1996-09-14-9609120457-story.html+&cd=13&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us)? This also included Veggie Tales, purity rings, WWJD bracelets, Touched by an Angel (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u917jznAvA8), and coffee and bagel church sermons. A show like 7th Heaven (https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/59mmpq/satans-favorite-tv-show-the-false-moralism-of-7th-heaven) even back then, would have to do a careful balancing act of avoiding alienating both the conservative (https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/shannonkeating/7th-heaven-south-of-nowhere-conservative-christian-values) Christians and the liberal viewers. Without getting too political, have you ever noticed that certain controversial (https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2007-may-07-et-channel7-story.html)/taboo (https://www.denverpost.com/2006/05/06/7th-heaven-dies-just-as-it-lived-in-moral-bliss/) topics weren't or rarely discussed (https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Headscratchers/SeventhHeaven) on that show?

If 7th Heaven is to be rebooted, then are we in agreement that Brenda Hampton can't get too much (https://jewcy.com/jewish-arts-and-culture/7th_heaven_creator_comes_jews) creative control? Let's be real here, Brenda Hampton (http://thebitterscriptreader.blogspot.com/2011/01/tuesday-talkback-what-hell-is-brenda.html) just isn't (http://timstvtalk.blogspot.com/2013/12/top-ten-worst-tv-shows-of-2013.html) a very good writer. And you can make the argument that her views (https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2495038/shailene-woodley-shares-blunt-thoughts-about-being-stuck-on-secret-life-of-the-american-teenager) are too outdated (https://screenrant.com/2000s-tv-shows-aged-poorly/) for the "woke era".
