I like TLC's Little People, Big World. I really do. I think Matt Roloff, who is a little person, is a great example of someone who has not given up on his life, despite his disabilities, and had decided to live it in the most interesting way possible. I also enjoy watching the dynamic between Matt, his wife Amy (also a little person) and their family.
My daughters, ages five and three, respectively, also like watching Little People, Big World. And, being ages five and three, respectively, they like to watch these episodes over, and over, and over, and over again. There are only maybe a dozen episodes of the entire first season. Personally, I can only watch their son Zach (a little person twin, whose brother is average size) go to the emergency room for a shunt replacement so many times.
So, TLC, I ask you, when the heck are we going to see these new episodes of Little People, Big World? We know the show has been renewed for a new season, we'd just like to know when you intend to show them. Because, frankly, you are getting into Trading Spaces territory with the amount of times you show the original episodes during a week. In other words, over-saturation.
UPDATE: An anonymous source (and fan) has informed TV Squad that new episodes of Little People, Big World will begin airing in October of this year.

ha ha I cannot tell you how many times I've seen the shunt replacement surgery, though i think they went a bit overboard and graphic when they showed poor Zach vomiting on the living room/dining room rug.
the episode i always manage to catch is the kitchen remodeling episode.
And is it just me or does the wife, Amy, have a little bit too much 'tude sometimes?

This is one of my personal favorites. I totally agree about the need for more fresh episodes. My wife and I always catch the trunchbucket episodes and convention episodes where zach plays ball in the parking lot with the others little teens.
As far as the Mrs is concerned, God yes, attitude like a son of a gun. Always busting Matt's butt over money when they seem to be doing fine. But I get the impression that Matt doesnt explain the bills and money flow to her and leaves her out of running the house that way. That does lead to her frustration.
