Little People, Big World

For dwarves Matt and Amy Roloff, life as as Little People is a constant challenge. Standing only four feet tall, they're struggling to raise four children - a mixture of little and average size siblings - on their 34 acre farm.

Fifteen-year-old twins Zach and Jeremy couldn't be more different. Jeremy is average height and Zach is a Little Person, just 2-feet shorter than his brother. Their dad pushes Zach to overcome his shyness at the Little People of America Conference.

Matt and Amy have been married for 18 years, but as the big date rolls around, both are too stressed out to do a thing about it. Tension runs high as Amy worries about money, the kids, her job, and Matt's lack of a steady job. Their four children, however, have different plans for their parents' big day.

Matt hopes to bond with his twin boys, Jeremy and Zach, but their weeken camping trip doesn't go as planned. Also, Matt and Zach push beyond their physical limitations when they attempt to ascend a rugged mountain path.

Matt plans a birthday surprise for wife Amy and daughter Molly, but it is not the hot-air balloon ride he sends them off on for the day. It's the remodeling of Amy's master bathroom. But, even with the aid of his sons and his father, will he be able to finish it before the birthday girls get back?

With the twin brothers starting their first week of high school, Amy thinks that Jeremy is taking his opportunites as a person of normal height for granted. She gets mad at him for skipping soccer practice, when his shorter brother Zach would give anything merely to be able to try out.

When the twins go to the DMV to get their learner's permits, Jeremy passes the exam easily but Zach has problems. Zach also tries becoming a soccer coach to make up for not being able to play, but dad Matt is starting to get annoyed by the rest of the family's preoccupation with the game.

When Matt rents out the family farm for a corporate picnic, his wife Amy says "enough is enough." Amy considers the event an invasion of privacy, but Matt sees it as an easy way to make money.

Jeremy introduces his first girlfriend to the family, while his twin brother, Zach, struggles with shyness. Matt tried to help build Zach's social skills. Amy faces the image-conscious modeling world when Molly is recruited for a photo shoot.

Matt hatched a plan to build a trebuchet to draw more customers to his pumpkin patch. Later Matt enlists his twin sons' help in the pumpkin field and argues with Amy who insists he didn't pay enough for their help.

Matt and Amy are ready to celebrate the holidays with their four children. Meanwhile, Matt's Christmas shopping is complicated by his short stature.

As the New Year approaches, Matt unveils a plan to remodel the house and create a "little" kitchen, designed for Amy.

Matt hopes to inspire his son Zach to live without limits; introduces him to role models in the dwarf community, including a law professor who served in the Clinton administration and a welder who works on a top-secret naval submarine.

After failing twice, 15-year-old Zach prepares to take another shot at his driving permit exam. But complications arise when Zach crashes the family van during a joy ride on the farm.

Matt is frustrated when Zach blows off a chance to socialize with girls to play football; Amy struggles to motivate Jeremy before a soccer game.

Matt and Amy take a break from their hectic lifestyle with a week-long cruise. But as soon as they return, Matt and Amy butt heads over one of Matt's new schemes: build a chicken coop and bring home a rooster.

When a mystery illness strikes Zach, his parents rush him to the emergency room. Soon after, Doctors take Zach into emergency surgery and the Roloffa anxiously await the results.

To calm Amy's fears about the future, Matt takes a corporate job in the computer software industry. But after years of being his own boss, Matt's transition back to the corporate world is a challenge.

As he recovers from emergency surgery, Zach prepares for his first date, inviting a girl he met at a Little People convention to his winter formal banquet. Jeremy seems at ease at the banquet, Zach's first date is nerve-wracking.

With a business trip to South America looming, Matt races against the clock to finish the kitchen renovation.
