"7th Heaven" could get stay of execution By Nellie Andreeva

LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - "7th Heaven" is entering the final stretch of its 10-year run on the WB, with two episodes left before its May 8 series finale. Or maybe not?

For the past month, there has been on-and-off speculation that the acclaimed family drama might continue on the new CW network, which will replace both the WB and UPN this fall.

About a month ago, members of "Heaven's" core cast, including Stephen Collins, Catherine Hicks, Beverley Mitchell and George Stults, were approached about the possibility of returning for another year on the show, sources said. Although no formal offers were made and there haven't been recent inquiries to the cast or their representatives, sources indicate CW executives are keeping the option to bring back "Heaven" on the table, and no final decision will be made until the future network's four drama pilots are evaluated.

The WB announced last November -- before the surprise revelation of the CW -- that it was axing "7th Heaven" despite strong ratings. Sources indicated that the reason was primarily financial. As series age, they get more and more expensive, with the price tag especially high for a show with a large cast like "7th Heaven."

as much as I would love to see it continue, I think 10 years is a great run. Its lasted longer than some of my other favorite shows (Full House and Growing Pains).

The show needs to end at some point. It doesn't seem like it would work as well with all the kids as adults. They really need to end it after this season and I think it will probably still end it.

And there's no 100% guarantee it would move to CW anyway.

There's always the syndication reruns on ABC Family if we need our 7th Heaven Fix.

I just hope they'll rerun the 3rd episode from this season again..........the night it aired, my WB station went black and had one of those colored bars "pages" on the station for like the first 10 minutes of the show. I was really upset.

I haven't watch the show since Lucy got married. I never liked Kevin. I'll probably watch the final to see how it ends although I'll probably be lost.
