Love this family! Jan 11, 2009 I love this show.Some people consider it voyeristic to watch this type of reality show,but is human nature to wonder how other people live in general. With this show, you will meet a family in which the mother and father and one of the children are little people. They have a condition called Dwarfism. Previously, little people were called midgets, which is an offensive term to them ( I learned that from this show). I also learned that people born with Dwarfism can not get health insurance because they have a preexisting health condition. The Roloffs pay for any doctors visits by going to their bank. That was an eye opener.
I thank the Roloffs for allowing people to see the day to day struggle that they overcome to live in a world that is not geared to their size. It is interesting to see that they struggle with the prejudices against their size. In one episode, a man pats the son on the head. The boy is 15 years old and it was inappropriate for a stranger to walk by and pat this teenager on the head and laugh, just because he is a little person.
If you enjoy seeing how other families live, or want to know the struggles the Roloffs face or see how they persevere to live a very happy and loving life this show is for you. I love this family.
I give this only 4 out of 5 because I do not care that TLC is breaking the show into volumes. Just give us season 2 not season 2, vol.1. They did this with LA Ink as well.
