Little People, Big World season premiere October 7, 2006

Thursday October 5, 2006
The Roloff family, of Little People, Big WorldThe Learning Channel's hit TV series, Little People, Big World, returns with its season premiere on Saturday, October 7, 2006, at 8/7C. In the series, cameras follow the lives of the 6 members of the Roloff family. Parents Matt and Amy have achondroplasia, a type of dwarfism, as does one of their three children, their son Zach. The other three children in the family are of normal height. Matt and Amy are trying to raise their family and be successful in business like any other family, but have particular challenges because they are little people (how people with dwarfism prefer to be referred to). This is a great series--I watched it last season and liked it a lot.
