And, as usually happens in romantic comedies, once the couple finally fell in love the chemistry between them went away. Even so, if you discount the last half season, MOONLIGHTING remains one of the best-written shows in the history of network television.

SEVENTH HEAVEN, WB, 1997 to present. This series has won acclaim from critics and parents alike for its loving portrayal of family life. Stephen Collins and Catherine Hicks star as Rev. and Mrs. Camden, parents of seven children, hence the name of the series.
With seven kids in the family it should be obvious that Mr. and Mrs. Camden are deeply in love. Their romantic actions often embarrass their kids who range in age from newborn to 19.
The series has been accused of being too sweet at times but it does offer a healthy presentation of loving family life. Even though the series is romantic it is something the entire family can watch together.
