This show has a big heart . . .
19 December 2006
I first watched this show out of curiosity about "little people", but I quickly forgot about any of the Roloff family members being different from anyone else. In my opinion it is the best "reality" show on TV, a great series for families or anyone else to watch.

To me most reality series are just stupid. Their producers try to make the participants look silly or want to bring in conflict when there is none. I like this series because it seems so honest. Sure, they edit their footage to make it more interesting, but I think what we see for the most part is a very truthful look at a very normal family.

I love the interaction and the caring between family members. They don't always agree and they're not always polite, but that's life. They very obviously love each other and are there for each other. Matt and Amy are exceptional parents who are doing a great job in raising their kids. Anybody who has raised teenagers will recognize a lot of what is going on and that is said in this family.

This series is SO much better than some other reality shows where the kids act like little robots and everything looks carefully scripted and always so perfect. This is real life, never neat and orderly, but about as good as you can get.

I wish that I had had the opportunity, or made the opportunity, to raise my kids on such a wonderful farm. And I admire Matt for attacking life with so much gusto, trying so many new things, taking so many chances. He is a role model to every adult out there, regardless of their size.
