DragonKing Dark: The 7th Heaven controversy

Karl Stern’s Dark 100 lands on the strange stories around an actor on the popular TV show.

I continue with my Dark 100 series on the 100 darkest moments in pop culture history with a stop at 7th Heaven — a sappy, moralistic drama series which ran for ten seasons (!) on the CW Network. It was also famous for launching the career of Jessica Biel.

The focus revolved around a Christian family doing Christian things in a sugary sweet world where everything ends up working out fine.

Then, it was revealed that Stephen Collins, the actor who played the father (and minister), did some very bad things in his past.

We get into it on this week’s DragonKing Dark.
