Little People, Big World!
I catch this show every Monday night at 8 pm on TLC. If you like good, wholesome, family entertainment then I recommend you tune in.
Little People, Big World is a reality show starring the Roloff’s - Amy and Matt (little people) and their children, twins Zach (also a little person) and Jeremy, Molly and Jacob (all average height).
This show has drama but not the kind of made up drama that you see on Survivor (cut throat), Real World (drunken and belligerent) or the Bachelor (never going to marry the girl in the end anyway, so why bother). I have cried with the Roloff’s. Last fall Jacob was injured on their farm and the drama was on high. I have celebrated with the Roloff’s when Matt helped a five year old LP (little person) be adopted by a couple in California.
They are an average family with above average hopes and dreams and they make their dreams happen even though they are “disadvantaged”. It is amazing to see how the world is not geared toward them like when Amy goes shopping and can’t reach shelves over 4 feet tall. (I feel her pain. I am 5 foot 2 inches and don’t feel built for the world we live in, I am thankful for my height now.) Or when Matt fought with the county over a height requirement on hand railing on his deck that would be dangerous for someone his size.
The Roloff’s give everyone a glimpse of their lives. Amy always say, “We can do anything normal people can do, just differently.” Nothing stops them from living a normal life in a world built for “normal” people.
The love that oozes from this show is contagious. I would rename the show Little People Big Hearts! Congrats Roloff’s and TLC on a great family show!
Enjoy!
Stumble it!
