The end is near for '7th Heaven'

LOS ANGELES - This time, the end really is here for "7th Heaven." CW's drama about the Rev. Eric Camden and his family will air its final episode on May 13, wrapping up an 11-year run, network officials said Tuesday, A host of other changes were announced at NBC and ABC.
