I can't wait! Tonight is the season premiere of, "Little People, Big World," on TLC! One of my favorites, this program chronicles the real-life happenings of Matt and Amy Roloff and their family. The Roloff's are a couple with dwarfism who have two average-sized children and two children who are affected by dwarfism.

As someone with a disability, it is a tremendous encouragement for me to see other people with disabilities on television. It helps to inform and educate our society on the importance of becoming more aware of and sensitive to the needs people with disabilities. Since the Americans With Disabilities Act was passed in 1990, we have come a long way toward equality. However, we still have a long way to go!

"Little People, Big World," airs Mondays at 8 Eastern on TLC. I recommend it to anyone looking for a family-friendly show that entertains while teaching real-life lessons. Sit back, relax and enjoy! This is a show for the whole family. You never know, you just might learn something.

    I love this show. Feel like I know the Roloffs personally,so you can imagine how upset I am that I can't find them in my tv guide anymore. Have the Roloffs quit filming and gone the way of Jon & Kate Plus 8? Am hoping the show is still out there somewhere& we'll get to see all the kids graduate....

    I love the roloffs, but I feel the consenses is that Zach is truly his mothers son in that he tends to criticize his dad to no end, not that that is any of my business, but between him and his mother I will NOT watch the show, no matter how much I love Matt, Molly and Jeremy.

    i love love your show. i particularly love amy's strenth. she is inspirational. i totally understand how she did not like the organiser coming in aranging her home. i get upset with zac and the way he speaks to his dad sometimes but hey he is a teenager ha ha. amy is very tolerant especially when he re arranged the room before thanks giving. all to impress his f i l. Matt is such a loving man his love for amy is very visable. you catch a look sometimes. she gets exasperated with him but gee who doesnt. the love is very evident and i admire and respect their honesty and love for eachother. little people rock; tracy queensland australia. ps molly we have a bed ready for you to visit. i know you want to travel and we would love to have you. totally normal big people.
