Hi, reader. I wrote this in 2002 and it's now more than five years old. So it may be very out of date; the world, and I, have changed a lot since I wrote it! I'm keeping this up for historical archive purposes, but the me of today may 100% disagree with what I said then. I rarely edit posts after publishing them, but if I do, I usually leave a note in italics to mark the edit and the reason. If this post is particularly offensive or breaches someone's privacy, please contact me.
Benoit told me that the family he stayed with in Charlotte, NC was almost exactly like the family in Seventh Heaven. Today's rerun of Seventh Heaven featured the family hosting...a French exchange student!
Highlights included the line, "We French are as addicted to women as we are to cigarettes!" and cheesy accordion music in the background whenever the guest was onscreen. Oh, and a few comic-relief Asian-American kids who eavesdropped on a chatroom conversation between the minister and his wife.
