So there are a couple of TV shows that I think everyone should be interested in. Both shows are broadcasted on TLC. One show is Little People Big World that I mentioned a couple of times and the other is The Little Couple.

As I explained before, Little People Big World is about a family of six. Both parents are little people and one child is a little person. Their other three children are of average size and do not have achondroplasia. This show communicates what it is like to be a little person and what daily accommodation have to be made. Through watching this show, I have learned a lot about little people. They can live just like people who do not have achondroplasia. It also shows how they work together as a family unit. They often work together to help each other out in many different situations. This is a great show to watch as an example of a family in which some members have achondroplasia and some members don't. I think that when my niece, Madison, gets old enough to understand the show, it will be a good example for her to learn that she can live just as normal as any other person in the world, just with a shorter stature, and the possibility of some health problems.

TLC's The Little Couple is a new show that is broadcasted on this network. A picture of the married couple is above. I have only seen this show a couple of times and I think that it is another example of how little people live. The married couple met at a LPA, Little People of America, convention and fell in love. In the episodes I have viewed, their love for each other is displayed powerfully. I have learned different things from this show. I have learned that it is very expensive to get appropriate clothing for little people. They have to buy average sized clothing and get them talored to fit. In this show, it was explained that two suits cost the couple about $5,000. Even with the little couples short stature, they get around in their lives. It is tougher as this world is made for people of average height, but they get around.
