Reverend Eric Camden and his wife Annie have always had their hands full caring for seven children, not to mention the friends, sweethearts and spouses that continually come and go in the Camden household.
This tv show contains 5 potentially triggering events.
The family dog, Happy, lives through all eleven seasons of the show.
In the episode "All dogs go to Heaven", one of the families from the church asks for Eric's help with their senior dog. Eric sits with the dog in a park for a few hours until she passes peacefully. The episode resolves with the dog's family taking in the dog's friend (a stray) and ends with a video of the dead dog playing in a field with other dogs (implied to be heaven).
In the episode "Johnny Get your Gun", one of the kids, Simon's, girlfriend's ex-boyfriend threatens to shoot the two of them, and ends up shooting Eric in the shoulder. In another episode, Simon witnesses a kid being bullied and stands up for him. He tells an adult that he was worried, and later in the episode they find a gun in the kid's locker, but it's not used.
Not directly, but it does cause a lot of issues when Matt falls in love with Sarah, a Jewish woman, because of their conflicting Jewish and Christian beliefs.
The grandmother who dies in the second episode visits a few times throughout the show in dreams. I'm not sure if that counts as a ghost. She appears as a normal human.
The first four episodes deal with the death of Annie's (the mother) mom.
Annie's dad dies later in the series.
Chandler Hampton, the assistant minister, has a sidestory about making peace with hos terminally ill father.
In the first episode, the grandmother reveals that she's been diagnosed with acute leukemia. She dies in one of the next two episodes. A number of the people helped throughout the show have cancer. Chandler's sidestory focuses on making peace with his father who's dying of lung cancer. Mrs. Bink gets cancer in one of the later seasons, but it's not brought up much iirc.
Nothing explicit, but it mentions sex allll the time because it becomes one of the major conflicts among the Camden kids (Eric and Annie don't want them to have pre-marital sex)
The family dog happy is hit by a car and has to spend the night in the hospital but she wakes up fine and makes it the entire 11 seasons. It’s only mentioned and not shown on camera.
