I kinda feel the same about how it aired in France as well. They only aired the first season, on sunday at 15, which isn't the biggest audience... unlike 7th heaven which aired on a bigger channel at a more convenient hour.
And I know everyone who watch the show loves it. I gaves the episode to my parents and family and they all adored the show. They said it felt real and was beautifully told. They really loved it. It's too bad a show like this doesn't get the promotion it deserves...
