'7th Heaven' picked up by The CW for fall

LOS ANGELES, May 12 (UPI) -- The longest-running family drama in U.S. television history, The WB's "7th Heaven" is about to extend its streak, it was reported Friday.

Although The CW network refused to comment, sources told TVWeek.com Friday that "7th Heaven" will be on the schedule when the new CBS Corp./Warner Bros. network starts its 2006-2007 season.

The report came five days after what was considered to be the finale of the series, which has been a consistent ratings winner for the past 10 seasons.

The WB had announced prior to the merger that The CW network could not afford an 11th season of "7th Heaven," citing the high cost of the production as well as its constantly expanding ensemble cast. However, financial constraints are not a concern for The CW, TVWeek.com noted.

Aaron Spelling produces Brenda Hampton's drama about the trials and tribulations of the Camden family.
