A young entrepreneur, best friend to his little sister Ruthie (Mackenzie Rosman), and the best pal that any dog could ever have. That's Simon Camden, the beloved little brother played by David Gallagher on the hit family TV series "7th Heaven." The show follows parents Reverend Eric Camden (Stephen Collins) and Annie Camden (Catherine Hicks) as they raise Simon and his many siblings while facing the ups and downs of life. Gallagher was there from the very start, first appearing in Season 1, Episode 1, "Anything You Want," which premiered in 1996. Fans would continue to watch him grow while Simon changed throughout the show, including piercing his ear, helping Happy through her pregnancy, grieving the loss of a classmate, and navigating college.

The whole thing was handled beautifully, with great acting and some memorable lines — some of which actually mean more than viewers may have realized at the time.

"Young Sheldon" wrapped with Season 7, sending Sheldon off to Caltech and Georgie and Mandy off to a spin-off. But will "Young Sheldon" Season 8 ever happen?

For every Disney film that smashes it out of the park, there are plenty of others the beloved studio would rather audiences forget entirely.

Positive messages, bright colors, adorable musical numbers, and funny one-liners. They're the essential ingredients used in many animated TV shows and films made for kids.
