Can be a current TV show or any TV show ever.

7th Heaven by it's nature is pretty preachy but i have found this series to be worse than usual.

And as much as i love Everybody Hates Chris, i'm finding that getting a bit preachy too.

The West Wing...followed by religious shows...

Davey and Goliath

How is Everybody Hates Chris "preachy"?

Boston Legal. Inherited the title from previous champ, The Practice

I have to go with Boston Legal as well, but it rarely bothers me.

I don't watch too many preachy shows. I've never seen 7th Heaven and a lot of those "feel good" touched by an angel type shows, but Boston Legal is definitely the preachiest show I watch. Sam Waterston on Law & Order is a close second. From the previews, I think these will be topped by the new Kyle McLachlan show In Justice

I remember Quincy was always on a soapbox.

Boston Legal

Extreme Makeover: Home Edition

Designing Women. It cant go 10 minutes without a character breaking out into a long monologue about how to fix everything wrong in the world.

Degrassi
The Cosby Show
The Simpsons

The last two seasons of M*A*S*H*

Just the whole, i'm a black guy and had a shit childhood kind of preachy stuff

How is that preachy? I understand how somebody could tire of it, but that in and of itself doesn't make it preachy.

Yup.

All in the Family is another show that is pretty preachy, at least at times. I love the hell out of it, but it's preachy.

Boston Legal.

When I read the title, even before coming into the thread, I thought 7th Heaven. It's so forced, and that mother! *whipcrack*

I can't think of any other preachy shows that come to mind, then again, once I feel preached to, I probably quit watching it.

Despite it being one of my favorite shows, I feel that Quantum Leap was very preachy.

Luckily, it preached pretty well in its outstanding episodes.

But does that change it from 'preaching' to 'having a message'?
To me those are similar, but the term 'preaching' has a more negative connotation. Nothing at all wrong with a show or movie having a message and expressing it in an entertaining way, but when it becomes heavyhanded, or 'holier-than-thou', it turns into preachiness, which is a negative. Of course, preaching in itself isn't a bad thing, so no offense intended to any actual preachers out there

Another vote for Boston Legal.

Commander In Chief!

I'd have to go with the classic white-bread-Christian preachiness of such shows as 7th Heaven, Touched by an Angel and Highway to Heaven. Maybe throw in a little rustic charm with Dr. Quinn and Little House...

Was The Waltons ever actually preachy, or just relentlessly wholesome and earnest?

For nonfiction, I imagine Oprah and most issue-based talk shows are as preachy as ever.
