LOL that's awesome that you live near them! I think they are a cute family...the dad can be overbearing I think. You should go buy a pumpkin from them or something and get on the show! hahaha
Their yard is crazy though, with the pirate ship, and medeival castle etc. Must be fun being kids there.

Cal, here's a description of the show from TLC's website. I've only caught it once or twice, but it's really good!
In the most in-depth television documentation of the lives of little people, TLC cameras follow the Roloffs an extraordinary family composed of both little and average-sized people. Over six months and for 10 hours per day, TLC captures their everyday successes and struggles. The result is an intimate view of life as a little person.
Parents Matt and Amy Roloff are both little people 4 feet tall but they are determined to succeed in a world that isnt always accepting of differences. Matt has risen through the ranks of the business world, closing deals with some of Silicon Valleys most well-known companies. After being laid off, Matt decided to pursue his dream of owning his own business. He is also the former president of Little People of America, an advocacy group for little people and issues affecting their lives.
Originally a stay-at-home mom but now holding down two jobs, Amy has raised four children: 15-year-old twins, Jeremy and Zach, 12-year-old Molly and 8-year-old Jacob.
Together they own and operate Roloff Farms, a sprawling 34-acre farm in Oregon.
The Roloffs accomplishments belie a hard truth: for little people, every day is a challenge. Driving a car, seeing over the counter at a bank or even making a simple trip to the grocery store can quickly become a test in a world that wasnt made for them.
In Little People, Big World, viewers look into the lives of the Roloffs as they face the pressure of being little in an average-sized world and the financial burdens of operating Roloff Farms.
I saw it for the first time last night. I really liked it and it didn't seem as phony as other reality tv shows.
