7 Little Johnstons

I have to wonder if the producers of the show are teenage boys. If I have to listen to another Potty joke, I'm going to turn the channel. The family is very sweet, I don't think they talk about bodily functions as much as the editors would like us to believe. It would be nice to watch a full episode without hearing about somebody pooping or peeing. As a short person, I really love seeing how little people navigate the world. It helps me get ideas on how I can also make life a bit easier. I also enjoy watching them redo their home. The kids are very sweet. It's nice seeing their lives and how they navigate an average size world.

Just another "what zaney antics will they get up to this week" "reality" family show.

Frankly, I believe all of these shows are exploitative. People who are only being shown because they are: small, fat, had multiple births etc. In the old days we had something similar. They were called "freak shows" and people would pay a penny to gawk. They were no less exploitative then, as the televised versions are today. Think that is harsh? What exactly are you tuning in to see? They are not on TV because they are talented. It's just little people partaking in buffoonery so that rubes on their couches can have a cheap laugh.

All of these shows double as ads for local businesses and attractions. "Today we are going to....", and its just an episode of them doing whatever wacky hijinks at that particular venue.

Nothing is organic or believable. They have no real talent or entertainment value. Its just "we're little/fat/septuplets/polygamous/grew up without technology" (take your pick, they are all the same show.)

Just wait till it changes gears, and the family falls apart like they all do, and it's doom and gloom episodes, where they will talk a divorce to death like all of the other shows do, just to milk it dry.

Trent and Amber have a wonderful family and they are not only just trying to get by in life, but trying to teach their young kids the truth about life as a little person. For the first 4 seasons they renovated a house in Forsyth Georgia, in the fifth they moved into their new house. They have not altered the cabinets in the kitchen or furniture in the house. They believe that it teaches them how to adapt in the real world. They have the same problems that you and I have, plus dealing with the stares of uneducated people that have never seen little people. They do a great job and I enjoy their adventures. Thank you TLC

I've noticed that the parents aren't very affectionate with their kids. Like the mothers 40th birthday . All the kids said nice things about their mother. I would have expected her to give each one a hug and be more expressive about how they made her birthday special. However, I do believe they love their kids and I love this show.

Great programme and the children and are very lovely and they seem like a nice family, but I think it's a little silly when they talk about trent starting his furniture business and worry of money,pension when the family earn about 40k per episode, they are very wealthy.
