Little People in a Big World

Since 2006, the ordinary struggles of this unordinary family have captivated television audiences. At first, Matt says the family was only going to film one episode—and now they've made over 100! "I thought we could get a message out and show society what little people are really like," he says.

While Matt was excited to film the show, Amy initially worried about her family's privacy. "I consider the home kind of the haven, the place where the kids can unwind and we can just be ourselves before we go out into that big bad world," Amy says.

Now, the family says they don't even notice the cameras—which are in their home nearly all the time. "At first, it was a little weird," Jeremy says. "But since it's been the same crew throughout the [whole] thing, or a three-crew switch-off, we've become really close friends with the crew. That makes it more comfortable."

Amy says getting to know the crew makes the experience much easier. "That's really a good thing because they see a whole lot more than my personal friends, my family ," she says.
