I enjoy the show and have watched it for a couple of years. I'm increasingly concerned with what happens to Any and Matt after the kids are all gone from home. Amy is very critical of Matt in front of her children and the kids have become very disrespectful of their father as a result. After all, without Matt's genius in developing the farm and all it's interesting feature's (the pumpkin business, the buildings that are a take-off on parts of, Knott's Berry Farm, etc) this wouldn't be much of a story. Even his leadership of Little People of America which brought him to the attention of TLC made this show possible. Yet at every turn AMy is putting him down--most recently on the European trip--when she makes it clear how much easier it was to travel without Matt. She even criticizes him of using his disability to get special privileges to tour in Paris. Matt's many surgeries and deformed legs makes traveling much more difficult for him than for Amy or Zach who are short but otherwise quite able. in most situations. I doubt that Matt and Amy will stay together after the kids are gone and it wouldn't surprise me if they split long before then.

Amy has so spoiled her children that the twins barely graduated from high school. I think she in particular should be embarrassed for their laziness and lack of initiative in the simplest of tasks. She let them run around night after night playing, driving their vehicles with no rules, no time to be home at night, no emphasis on school work. When Matt would suggest discipline whether to clean up their own mess, fess up to the burned end table etc. she would side with her kids--showing she was much more concerned with being one of the kids and liked by them than being a parent. It really shows her own immaturity. The twins communication skills are deplorable as a result, their social skills lacking and I wonder if they have any chance at any kind of further education. They're not dumb kids and with any kind of guidance should have excelled in high school and had plans by the time thy were juniors to go on college or trade school of some sort. Instead it seems they have no plans other than live off the life their father has given them for which they have no gratitude.

Molly seems to be the most level headed and most intelligent. Jacob on the other hand is so terribly spoiled---just thinking of his "texting" addiction at his age before Matt took the phone away. Why did a boy that age even have a cell phone. His constant whining on their trips and playing with his video games instead of showing any interest in the wonderful opportunities he's had to see so many places other kids would love to see. He shouldn't be allowed to take his toys along or at least should be told when to put them away.

Certainly the money they've made from this TV show has given them opportunities to succeed and I wish them well. I just hope those boys will realize this opportunity won't last forever and eventually they need to grow up and become productive citizens. Soccer and road trips aren't real life anywhere else but on TV.

I have been watching this show for some time now .I founded myself always annoyed by Amy who is Never Satisfied and always complaining about Matt.She's a very unappreciative self-absorbed person.She's completely Spoiled .When they got a divorce she wanted the big house and got it Matt moved out into a small house on the farm and made it work.Matt is the only one that's puts 100 percent into that farm.They all want to keep the farm but he's the only one that does all the work .Amy runs around like a school girl with her new boyfriend & Girl friends. She's decides now that the big house and her side of the farm is too much work ,So now she wants the other side that Matt had built his new life on because that's less work for her again putting her needs first . She has the audacity to say that Matt is bullying her when all he's trying to do is get away from her but even with her new boyfriend and her new life she still needs to hold onto Matt so she can still have anger towards him in reality she is really the bully . She Wants It All .Amy MOVE ON !!!!!!

Always NEGATIVE AMY, I'm over it.

Glad to see Matt tonight when he said to her "you always talk about what I'd done wrong, what about what you did wrong" something like that 😀.

It was time for him to put her on her place.

It takes two to tango Amy, I don't think you'll ever be happy about anything he does.

Sorry to vent but I'm over it.

Good luck to you guys and I love the babies.

This show is starting to be so boring. All the same same. Amy and matt arguing and some more arguing.

The whole family is such a model to all families. The parents are so supportive of their four children. The children are compassionate and normal kids. Jeremy is so good to Zack. The grandparents are always there to give help when needed. It makes you feel good to watch them.

In addition to seeing a good family in action, we get the chance to view the lives of people that we would consider "different" and see them just like any one else. It is amazing how the father succeeded so well in life despite spending much of his childhood in a hospital and with the disadvantage of needing crutches. He and Amy make such a great couple and work so well together. They are inspiration to all of us and their live on the 34 acres is amazing.

I have been watching this show since it first aired. Rarely do you see a man so eager to please his wife, let alone family, as I have seen in Matt (I don't care how tall he is). Why does Amy so outwardly criticize him, in front of the children, on air, etc.? She is so mean to him, and it has completely rubbed off on the children. I don't blame the children, they are just emulating what they have learned from their mother, but why would you constantly beat a man down like she does? He, obviously, has more physical obstacles that the rest of the family, but she cuts him absolutely no slack. I have never, ever (and I am married to a good man) seen a man that tries harder, and takes more verbal abuse, than that man. Amy, you need to watch some of the episodes and witness how you treat your caring husband. If this is how she acts in front of the cameras, I can't even imagine how she must act when they are not on. I feel sorry for him. I've never witnessed a man treated more purely than Matt by his wife.

Previous seasons felt more "real". New season is just acting in camera for income. I really like Amy. I appreciate Chris helping with divorce transition in order to prevent hatred but I think he goes too far. Nothing wrong with being friends with the ex and it's healthy, but when a person has been toxic and abusive, you can forgive or not forgive and move on. Matt treated Amy really badly on top of having an affair. Chris seems to expect Amy, by being passive aggressive, to not process her feelings. It's ok for her to angry and sad. Let her process it how she needs to. He just seems to never allow her to have any emotion other than happy. Tori and Zach, particularly Tori, are constantly on social media as influencers and watching them on LPBW presents nothing new. Everyone seems like they are trying to act for the camera and it no longer feels like reality. I completely agree with Zach and Tori decision. They don't have to accept the toxic life Matt created. I respect them for that decision. Unfortunately the new season is just not interesting. I think what's great is we no longer view little people as different from everyone else but see them as regular people.

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.

I've always enjoyed this show! I wish Amy would move on though I know she's with Chris but it seems all she talks about is Mat. Everyone else has moved on but her.

I'm not a huge fan of so-called reality TV, and this show is a big reason why. At least with "The Little Couple" we have a reasonably intelligent married couple who adopted children and are successful in their professional lives.

On the other hand, each of the characters on LP-BW is grating and annoying in their own way. They spend WAY too much time with the up close and personal interviews, complete with mundane questions and interminable droning answers. It's as though the production team is scrambling to have enough material for a single episode. Not for me, thanks.

I feel that this family is as "normal" as any I've seen. I smile when saying this, because of other comments I've seen posted here. :-) These kids are absolutely the "norm", whether some of you believe this or not. This includes Zack & his friends picking on Jacob. Yes, I feel that Zachery is hateful & mean spirited toward Jacob. If Jacob even smiles at him and the other boys...it seems to me that he gets slapped around on by Zachery. I don't see this same attitude from Jeremy, but that could be that he just wasn't on camera when it happens. Personally, it appears to me that Zachery isn't all to happy about the fact that Jacob seems to be a bit quicker than himself, and it also seems to cause Zachery to be even rougher with Jacob...just so he can show Jacob "who's boss". I really hope the Roloffs do watch all of the episodes....and maybe they will gain insight into how some of the things happen and how to change some of the discord in their family. I love the segments where one of the boys are driving and the way in which the parents respond & interact with them...sounds exactly what we use to say to our 3 daughters when they first started to drive. One more thing....some of the posters are extremely critical of Amy. I enjoy watching how she seems to get things done that important to her. Matt's telling just in the way he starts darting his eyes around, when he & his family have a disagreement or he's feeling criticized....and by the way, he does appear to want to have control of everything, and to make decisions for the family...without Amy being a part of those decisions..or even discussions. In closing I want to let these people know that I very much admire them as a family, and for taking the opportunity to show us what a "true family really is all about!!!" I mean this in the best possible way. :-) They are good people!! All of us that have been critical should think about this..."How would the public see us and our families" if we were in the same situation?? :-) Gee, I didn't mean to write so much, so I better close this....Grantu8

Lpbw fans How many of us stopped watching because of AMY and how many of us are steering away because AMY is so Bitter and mean with Matt and her Husband as well Chris. That lp has so much hate its exhausting to listen to her condescending and evil mouth. Her GF is exactly the same the older blond woman she is younger Then Amy is so far out there she always complains about Matt and Caryn when Amy runs to Matt for his financial support. She is going back to fund raisers because she is going broke since she doesn't have a Hubby that works everyday online making money Like Matt does with his stocks and Businesses. I stopped watching faithful since the show lets Amy treat Caryn and Matt like trash. Then you have the Son Zack that acts exactly like Amy he feels entitled to his Dads harded earned money and he wants the Farm and Torri is acting entitled as well. Matt never gets a break from the Jelly ex and he has so much on his plate he takes good care of his Widow Mother and Thats wonderful. It shows his character is very good. Well TLC clean up the show Im sure the ratings will go up. Peace stay humble and loving.

Another show exploiting children. They pretend that this is to educate people, but sadly what they portray are little people parents who would rather put their kids to work than support them. Matt is constantly using his LP status as an excuse, for drunk driving, for breaking laws for construction, for whining about his alleged miserable childhood, for not having a real job. Jeremy pretends to be about tolerance but spends his myspace time making racist and homophobic comments and taking homophobic pictures. The family trashes poor Jacob because he dares to have feelings, questioning the masculinity of a child. He is also physically abused by his brothers. The "farm" is not that and it's unsafe in many ways. The family cries poverty while adding nearly a million in improvements to the home and taking expensive vacations. They do a gross disservice to LPs everywhere.

Why are so many of these comments here bashing Amy? First of all you have to realize that any show of this type is heavily edited to feature the most controversial and exciting scenes, normal day to day activities are boring for the most part. Unless you know the Roloff's personally do not judge their character based on what you see on a TV show, this goes for any "reality" TV you see. There is always editing and the director/editor can paint any picture they want from the raw footage.

I do really enjoy watching the show, initially I got into it for the voyeuristic aspect of the show but now I find myself more interested in the people and their lives. The farm is just crazy with all the play areas and the different crops. I don't think it will ever be the money maker that Matt wants it to be, but it is still a great place for their kids to grow up in and it makes their home a gathering place for friends and neighbors. As an average height person it does help me to see the Roloff's and get to know a little about them. The show has certainly opened my eyes. It was really touching when Amy said that she was afraid that someone was going to take her children away because of her dwarfism. Matt and Amy are definitely the oil and vinegar that keep the show interesting, but they seem to love each other a great deal, and they are doing a good job with the kids. Who cares if the house is messy they are a busy family with 4 kids, its going to get messy. Its not a museum its a home!

Love the show! I am a Registered Dietitian Consultant & acquired a couple of Little people. To better understand more about them in Their life Experiences, so I could help them, I started watching Little People TV Shows. I only selected a couple of shows to watch, but LPBW is my favorite & only one I watch! I LOVE "Mr", or Jackson! I hope y'all show more about Jackson, Jackson is so cute, adorable, smart & funny, He's a beautiful toddler!, Don't care for Jeremy & wife, they seem to have an attitude. Zachs wife, sister & little brother , Amy, Chris, Matt & Karyn are all great too! But JACKSON IS MY FAVORITE, I loved "Little People Big World"

Maybe I'm missing something here, but I find this show to be a case of much ado about nothing. I was intrigued with the premise enough to watch a few episodes, but once one gets past the fact that three of the cast members are dwarfs, there is nothing remarkable about this family whatsoever. They seem like a nice enough clan, with their comfortably cluttered house, occasionally bratty kids and a few bothersome health issues... just like pretty much every other family I know. After watching an episode devoted almost entirely to the astonishingly unremarkable task of cleaning the twins' room, I vowed never to waste another 30 minutes of my life in the same manner again. I mean really - if I wanted to see dirty clothes strewn about and dust bunnies under the bed, I could have just gone upstairs. The show is to be commended for attempting to educate viewers about little people and demonstrate how they are essentially "just like you and me", but that is also its downfall - for ordinariness simply hasn't made for compelling TV viewing since the days of "Father Knows Best".

I absolutely love this show! I have been a fan from the very beginning. It was devastating to watch the family experience a divorce. Amy was obviously heartbroken. Matt however appeared to bounce back quickly and I wonder was he having an affair with Karyn prior to the divorce. Since the divorce Matt has been extremely critical of Amy every opportunity he gets. He says some really nasty things about her and seems to want to still control her. I am so happy that Amy is finally trying to put the past behind her & is enjoying life. She has a great companion in Chris to share her life & she also has an amazing circle of friends who support her. Hopefully one day Matt will truly appreciate the great woman Amy is & give her due credit.

Reality television revels in anything unusual, offbeat, and weird. Here, the producers work diligently to portray these Little People as all that and more. Instead of members of society who happen to be smaller than the majority of the population, the size of these reality stars is used to make them appear to be some sort of human aberration. There is nothing the bit odd about the parents on this program but those responsible for this sideshow make a serious effort to use what is different about them disturbing. Pure exploitation! But what else is new? Reality television exploits the most broken, troubled, unlikable, and pitiful among us out to be freaks and takes joy in doing so. The Little People on this series don't qualify for membership in the club of misfits that provide fodder for the ghouls responsible for bottom-of-the-barrel TV. The family on Little People, Big World deserve to be treated with respect and it's tragic they have allowed themselves to be heartlessly displayed in this way.

Mat is working so hard with Amy...I always thought Amy was a nice person, she a B.... I can see how Chris can live her. That lady is so much in the wrong. I will stop watching!

I love this show. I am hesitant to admit that I used to be "freaked out" by little people, but watching this show I realize that they are basically the same as everyone else. They face challenges in real life that most of us take for granted... like being able to reach a high shelf in a store or just going up a flight of stairs. I recommend this show for everyone, no matter what their age. You are never too young or too old to learn about not judging other people based on their appearances or physical limitations. I would love to see the show really take off and be a pioneer in shows that feature people who are not "normal" but who are still the same as everyone else inside.

My comment is this. I have seen quite a few episodes of the Program. My only comment is I think Amy(wife) should be a little more supportive of her husband.

For someone that has disabilities i think he does a heck of a good job supporting his family. He is a go-getter and he always has a posit attitude, at least that is what i see on the Program.

One of the Twins(the smaller one( has an attitude towards his father also. I think he is reading this attitude from him mother. Its plain to see . I am not the only one that has seen this, quite of few of my friends and family have said the same thing.

I loved this family for so many years but its gotten ridiculous. It really has. I dont know what their motives are anymore its definitely not family. The truth lies in the fact Audrey and Jake are not there anymore!! its gotten to be ridiculous. I wish them the best but Im done!!
