Our Little Family

The commercial where mom asks for no pix to be taken implies that "tall" people are insensitive. However, in her first commercial, she says "What is special about my family is that we are all small". So, it's OK to cash in on her new found fame AND be condescending to tall people at the same time when they recognize her and her family. How does she know they are taking pix because they are little people? Maybe they are taking pix because the Little Family is on television and people just simply recognize them. How presumptuous. While I agree that perhaps before taking pix, people should ask permission, but either she wants the fame for having an "all small" family or she doesn't. She can't eat her cake and have it too!! Very offensive. Will never watch this show and will never recommend it to anyone. LOVE the Roloffs and Bill Klein and Jenn Arnold and Will and Zoey. Can't get enough of those guys.

No spoilers here - accept that anyone who hasn't seen this show yet is now going to know how awful it is.I have tried to watch this show and couldn't get through the first episode. Not likable at all.I wish I could give it a negative score honestly but, it is not an option. All of the other little families I have liked just not this one. I don't want the show to return because it needs to be replaced. There are so many diverse families that could be featured but this family is on - it's insulting. Why doesn't TLC bring back Jen and Bill or try a different theme than only little people. And, to the reviewer who claimed it was a great show and not scripted - Well, I'm sorry but your review is as fake and scripted as the show seems to be.

I really enjoy Little People Big World and the Little Couple. Tuned in to see Our Little Family. It really lacks any thing of interest. First the Mom is very happy to talk non stop about being "little"..but when some one takes notice of it and wants to get a picture of the family ..she is screaming "NO PICTURES". Really? I would think they might like being noticed from the show and also reality is that she can not demand through out their lives that no one takes a picture , especially if they are recognized from TV. Also they are being FILMED for a program, but an individual can not take a photo. I think they will only have about 15 minutes of fame. Is there any one else out there besides me that wonders if the kids ..especially Jack who is six is receiving any speech therapy? All three children have big speech impediments. The show as a whole is hard to listen to and not entertaining. Mom is not likable and the husband is whipped. It is SO scripted that it is very boring. I won't tune in again.

Many years ago TLC premiered Little People Big World. This was the first of its type, a heartfelt family reality program about the struggles and similarities of a family living with dwarfism. The Roloffs for many humanized little people. I sincerely cared about that family. They were interesting to watch and lived on a beautiful property. Watching the Roloff kids grow up over the years was charming. Then sometime later The Little Couple was aired. This show lacked the same feeling as Little People Big World. It was watchable but both Jen and her husband weren't as likable as the Roloffs. Now there's this abomination of television. Our little Family single handedly undid all the progress TLC has made in normalizing little families. Presented here are a family of annoying, whiny fakers. This family is so devoid of personality that honestly i don't see the appeal. The kids make me want to blow my brains out and every scene is obviously scripted. I know all reality TV is scripted to some extent but this is just lazy. Example; the wife goes out for drinks with her "normal" friends and when she come's home her husband is reading a book in bed to which she says "A book?! i was just out with my friends having drinks! We're so different!" Avoid this show at all costs and maybe it will go away forever.

I don't know what it is, but I've always been fascinated by this particular show. To be perfectly honest, the scripting seems forced, and Jack's one liners seem to come from the producers or directors. This sounds like a terrible thing to say about children, but Jack is a smart mouth, annd a crybaby, and the girls are whiny and spoiled. However, it's balanced out by the love Dan and Michelle have for their children. The humor element seems to be forced, like they are deliberately telling the audience when they should be laughing. Some of the people on the show just seem so mean spirited toward one another, especially Michelle's brother. He's constantly picking on her, and the things he says , come across as cruel, and not good natured sibling teasing. Michelle's so-called friend, I don't remember what her name is, but the one she took the cooking class with, is constantly mentioning her height, she, in my opinion, is a word that I'm not allowed to say on here. She is certainly not a true friend to Michelle. Probably the most likable one in the family is Dan, although he's a bit boring. Like a lot of these TV shows, Michelle is always nagging at her husband, which is kind of standard protocol for television today. Husbands are always presented as doofy, and the wives point of view is always assumed to be the correct one, even when it clearly is not. But, Michelle and Dan are decent people. In fairness to the children, they are very young, and I'm sure the script writers have a lot to do with their behavior. But, it's so fascinating to see that these are really just normal, everyday Americans, despite their small statures. , these are very good people, but the kids just drive me bananas.
