This show began really well, actually. I would highly recommend the first 3 seasons, especially season 2 episode 17.
Personally, I am a preacher's kid, and I think the show (in the beginning) presented an accurate, albeit accelerated, view of a pastor's family life. It really is like that, just maybe not all at once, every single week.
However, after a while (maybe somewhere around the fifth season) this show started to get more and more ridiculous. Reasonable, stable characters became more wildly emotional than they were before. The plots tried to hang on, but after a while the writers must have succumbed to the pressure of being a night drama on the WB (now CW).
That said, you will be interested to know that Jessica Biel started on this show.
Oh yeah, and I found the youngest daughter to be consistently annoying from beginning to end. lol.
