A few items of note concerning TLC's hit reality series Little People, Big World, which just completed its second season. First, the new season will begin in March and will move from Saturdays at 8:00 pm to Mondays at the same time. From the 'Next on . . .' previews Little People had during their season finale, the first episode of the third season will show the accident that put Matt Roloff's son Jacob and business partner Mike into the hospital.
Next, Matt now has his own show where he interviews other little people that are inspiring to him. One of the people he interviews is Meredith Eaton, who has had a recurring role on Boston Legal this season as attorney Bethany Horowitz. Other interviews feature talk on why the Dwarf Athletic Association of America is so important to little people, and the risks and challenges little people face when they want to have children. The interviews can be seen at the Little People, Big World section of TLC's website.
A quick review of the past season of Little World. Perhaps I got burnt out from the constant repeats of the first season that my kids watched over and over (if I ever see the 'Winter Dance' episode again I will smash my television), but I didn't find this season as interesting as the last. I thought that the show had gone a bit, um, Hollywood, especially during the three episodes where they went to Hawaii. The one good thing about this season is that they began to focus on other little people in the Roloff's circle, such as Zach's friend Casey. I hope they continue that trend in the new season.

I wish they would show the show in order! Let's do July first, then September, then November then jump around all over, then end with October and start up again in October. Show the thing in order in which they happened!

"Show the thing in order in which they happened!"
Seriously! Jeremy's poodle hair/no poodle hair really gives away the anachronistic nature of the episodes this season.
Glad it's moving to Monday though. I never seem to catch it on Saturday.

Quite frankly, I find this show to be heartbreaking - I can't bare to watch, regardless of what night the show is on...

The kids are awesome! Amy is great, but Matt just annoys me. His micromanaging would drive me insane!

I think Matt has to micro manage. It seems like the kids do not pick up after themselves (they certainly are old enough to do so) and the house is a mess, until he asks that it be cleaned. I, too, raised several boys but did not live in a house that was that messy. I am amazed that they want it to be seen on television looking the way it does. I also think the kids are disrespectful to Matt and Amy seems to enable that lack of respect toward their father.
I know that they are just a normal family and I love them for it, but I don't enjoy watching the kids and Amy being disrespectful toward Matt. I bet HE is the reason they are on a television show and live on that beautiful farm in Oregon.

I am a huge fan of the show. It is so uplifting and realistic. I always come away from it feeling good. I love the dynamics between Amy and Matt, and the kids are great. They're just a regular family. One thing I think the kids could improve on is doing daily chores and helping out around the house. Their mom is very busy, and Matt too. They could do more to help. Love the show. Can't wait until March!!!!

I enjoy the show. To me it is a modern version of the Waltons, which I enjoy also. The only difference is Zach and especially Jeremy seem very disrespectful to their dad, Matt. That bothers me some and some of the language Jeremy has used on various occasions. Overall I think it is a great show and look forward to seeing new shows in March.

I love the show and was disappointed it was not on this past week. There is so much trash on TV and this show is down to earth and also teaches us to understand and accept differences in other people. To me it seems like "A Day in the Life Of" an extraordinary family.

I have a dwarf son. I think this show is wonderful. It has brought awareness to dwarfism and people seem to be more tolerant. I love all the Roloffs,but I think Amy can be a little hard on Matt. He works hard and trys to please her. Keep up the good work. Its a great show. Our family really loves it...

I really enjoy watching the show and finding out whats going on with the family. Saturday nights were great for me because there was never anything worth watching except Little People Big World. No matter what the family was up to it was real life with a family who loves each other very much. I look forward to watching the new season.

I love the show and so does my daughter. I think they are a great, NORMAL family, doing great, normal family things. I think Amy is a little bit of a smarty-pants to her husband, but I guess we all are sometimes!! Matt and Amy have 4 beautiful children and what parents doesn't love the chance to show them off!!

WE LOVE THIS SHOW! THE FAMILY HAS BROUGHT SO MUCH AWARENESS TO THE WORLD ABOUT LITTLE PEOPLE. I HAD NO IDEA, THE STRUGGLES AND PROBLEMS, JUST COOKING DINNER IN A REGULAR KITCHEN! DON'T BE SO HARD ON MATT & AMY, THEY REALLY COMPLIMENT EACH OTHER. MATT HAS BROUGHT SO MUCH AWARENESS & ATTENTION TO THE LITTLE PEOPLE ORGANIZATIONS AND HE NEEDED A GREAT WOMEN LIKE AMY BEHIND HIM ALL THE WAY. THE KIDS ARE MESSY, BUT KIDS ARE KIDS. I WOULD RATHER HAVE "MESSY" KIDS ANY DAY COMPARED TO SOME OF THE THINGS KIDS ARE DOING TODAY! HATS OFF TO THE ROLOFF'S.

My husband and I "LOVE" watching Little People Big World. We have a new respect for all people with Special needs. Matt is a sweetie! The family needs to respect him more than they do. His parents are the greatest. Sometimes it seems as Amy could be nicer to him(my husband says the same thing about me). It is great to see Matt helping Amy with her organization. He has definetly supplied his family with a great home and life. Two thumbs up for Matt! You are our hero.
