It's my understanding that the new season of Little People - Big World will

start in mid-late October. Possibly as many as 45 new episodes.

I totally agree, Ive had so many of my friends say how they love watchin the

show. And alot of them watch it on a faithfully every week on a regular basis,

they hate to miss an episode. I hope more people get to see it. So they to can

understand what we go through all the time, in day to day life.

So many people have stopped me and told me about how they have more insight

into how little people live and the struggles we go through due to the show's

education on the public.

Last nights episode made me cry. I was so moved by Matt's decision not to

give up and participate in the zip line with his family despite his fear of

heights. I loved how Zack turned to him and encouraged him to go through with

it.

This family is just so wonderful. Thank you Rolloff's for putting yourselves

out there to educate others.

It would really be cool if some one posted a review of the show each

week for those of us who don't have that channell or no cable at all.

Just a suggestion

I also really enjoy watching the show. I felt sorry for Amy when she and matt

were trying to have a romantic dinner and she found her kids playing int he

ocean.. right where they were not allowed to go! You never get a break form

being a mom!

My 18 month old daughter is a dwarf and I watch the show to educate myself as to

what challenges my family has down the road. My husband has a hard time watching

the show. He still denies has dwarfism eventhough we have had her

diagnosed.

I " m thankful for the show... I just wish I had the money Matt has to go on those

awesome vacations! I loved it that he wasn't to build a zip line back on his

farm.... I want to visit his farm one day.. when is older.

Personally, I do not have cable and have not yet seen this show.

However, many of my co-workers and friends have commented on this

particular show. Many of them said it had shown a very realistic

side of a person's life, as real, everyday people. This does sound

awesome to me. My co-workers and I work for a non-profit disability

organization. We honor what we call the " Independent Living

Philosophy. "

Also I've had many people I've met all over my state, because I

travel for my job. Many people have stated that they love this show

and want to know my view on this show. This show has impacted many

people and I can say indirectly, it has helped my life as well.

People are coming up to me more and they also seem more comfortable

with my differences than before.

People have stated they feel more comfortable with terminology and

feel more educated as well. I can say that I feel this show has made

a positive impact in many areas and it has made my " job " easier so I

don't have to explain everything to people about how I do things or

what the correct terminology is these days.

I hope maybe some day I can see this series. I would like to put out

a suggestion, that this show be put on DVD for profit and sold as a

series like other shows have been sold according to series. Although

normally I don't feel like I'm missing out on anything by not having

TV or cable…but this time I'm making an exception.

What we go through all the time? Do you own a 40-acre pumpkin farm in

Oregon? Have built an amusement park in your backyard for your kids?

Do you fly to Hawaii all the time with the family, or around the world

for business?

This reply is not a knock on the Roloffs...Matt has done well and

deserves all his " toys. " But it is a knock on TLC. While they have

done a good job with this show (mostly due to Matt and Amy's

influence, I'm sure) by being sensitive about certain issues related

to dwarfism and generally portraying LPs in a positive light, it is

NOT your average, day-in-the-life dwarf story.

It is reality TV, which, ironically, means it is unreal. The Roloff's

are an affluent family living in an area of Oregon populated by upper

class denizens. TLC is not showing the average dwarf from a working

class family, a member of a minority, a single mother holding down two

jobs to support her kids. It doesn't show the college kids struggling

for education and acceptance. And it doesn't show the numerous,

numerous dwarfs with chronic medical issues. I'm not saying we're a

sad lot, but demographically speaking, we're probably just below the

national average in terms of socio-economic status.

So while I praise the show for it's positive portrayal of the ROLOFFS,

I'm not going to get all mooney about it realistically representing

dwarfs in general. As an officer in LPA, I am responsible for

administering scholarships and medical grants for LPs in dire need.

These people are largely invisible to TLC.

Besides, as an LP and a friend of Roloff family for over 30 years,

I've seen it all before, so the show is really not providing me any

new, exciting material.

Bill

(And before anyone accuses me of doing so, I am not a " Matt-basher "

nor am I jealous. I am perfectly content with were my life is going,

and proud of what I have done.)

October 23, 2006

Me too, and , I enjoy it and I feel it has had a

positive effect amongst the ap population that may or may not have

had that much contact with an lp before:).

Tho, I do see and feel Bill's sentiment, again, no knock on the

Roloff's, all the best and with everything they have too:),

but it is not yer typical lp family. Perhaps, typical in its emotions

as emotions are universal, and with its acceptance issues, dating,

this and that relating to being short, but not the economic issues.

But, maybe then too, seeing an lp family of their monetary level, so

to speak, may help show the average Joe Schmoe ap who doesn't know

anything about us think that hey, we can achieve the 'American

Dream', so to speak, too! But then I can see an ignorant ap somewhere

sitting in his torn and battered Lazy-Boy armchair sluggin down a

few 'brewskis' in his undersized hole ridden coffee stained tee shirt

with his belly protruding out, and in his old faded gray work pants

that has cigarette burns and coffee stains on them too, haha, saying

to himself while seeing the show, " Only in America, can a dwarf get

that far! D*m America, and its bleeding heart left centered everyone

is equal PC cr*p! I'm a hard working laid off All-American Chevy man

and they got more than I got! (haha) I wish it was the old days, back

when the only time you saw a m*dget, oh yeah, I forgot I'm not a

Larry King supporter too, (haha) that Commie b*stard (lol), but I

meant, a dwarf, in the circus! Where they all belong! Hun, git me

another beer and quick, cuz I'm on a roll now!! " LOL

Tongue in cheek, grady:P

The episode where they got to go to Hawaii also doesn't portray their everyday

life. The show has also had episodes dealing with experiences on grocery stores,

driving, not being able to play contact sports, etc. I think it HAS given an

insight to many things that people didn't know, or probably wondered about at

one time or another..
