It was a secular/proggie perspective of how they wanted Christianity to be. Same with ‘Touched By An Angel’.

Collins directed three episodes..”Paranoia” “Nothing Endures But Change” and “I Really Did” one episode had to do with the character Lucy losing her best friend in a car accident, the other episode had to do with his son Matt getting married, and the third episode had to do son Simon not getting on the baseball team

Yep and they is why they continue to throw it in our face. I am disappointed with UP for ditching the show. Hopefully they will come to their senses and put it back on because the show has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with Collins.

IN FACT, I demand CBS take of football (coincidentally playing tonight) for the same reason UP did to 7th Heaven since one of their football players punched his finance now wife.........we don’t seem to see that happening.

This whole thing makes me sick. Starting with Collins, then his wife, then the media, then the networks, and so many others.....

Another man-hating, hard on the eyes angry feminist. Leftists are nothing but bitter, miserable people.

How does one die at 40 of natural causes? (or does that just mean everything?)

Amanda, that’s why they call it “acting”.

[ Does this idiot understand that Stephen Collins is AN ACTOR..he portrayed a character on TV!!! That is the problem with liberals, they have their heads so far up their asses that they can’t differentiate the difference between REALITY and FICTION ]

These are the same people who think Tina Fey is Sarah Palin....

Oh they know the difference between Tina Fey and Sarah Palin, they just hate Sarah Palin so much they refuse to acknowledge the fact that Tina Fey is the one that said “I can see Russia from my house”

Collins is a sleazeball, but so is his wife. Lock them both in a room, give each of them a gun and let them settle it..according to the wife, when she gave birth to their daughter in 1989, Collins told her “Im glad its not a boy otherwise I don’t know how I would have controlled my urges to suck on his.....” well, you get the rest..now you tell me, if that is true..what kind of woman stays married to someone who said THAT..she is all about the money, she knew children were being molested and did nothing..now she wants her payday..they are both equally scummy
You are right about the UP Network..I was surprised at 2PM on Tuesday when they were no longer airing the show. They had “Super Nanny” on instead, I didnt understand what happened til I went online and found out they yanked the show off the air. Guess they didn’t want to have to give Collins anymore royalties

Stephen Collins recently played Elizabeth Mitchell’s father on NBC’s “Revolution,” which was cancelled after two seasons.

I really liked that show too. Hated that it was canceled.

I use to like watching the Waltons. But when I found out grandpa in real life was a flaming communist homosexual, it ruined it for me.

Doesn’t the left always remind me that “it is just a role....he is an actor?” whenever I don’t like something the hollyweird elite do?

I am genuinely sorry to hear this about Mr. Collins. My wife and I have always enjoyed his work from "Tales of the Golden Monkey" all the way up to Revolution. Yes he is just an actor but he is also a person who Christ loves and died to save. I pray for his soul and for the lives of those whom he has been accused of molesting.

I hope the allegations are false, the trial will determine this. If not he will probably end up doing hard time and end up in solitary confinement for fear he would be killed by other inmates. I pray he doesn't take his own life.

“Revolution” was the only NBC show that I watched faithfully. It really had me sitting on the edge of my chair. Sad to see it gone, especially with so many plot lines unresolved.
