Little People, Big World

This is my favorite show on TV. With out question - the best. If you've never seen Little People, Big World - or as I call it, LPBW, you're really missing out. It's like the Cosby Show, only instead of black people in New York City, they are white midgets on a farm in Oregon.

But seriously - it's a great show - and I'll tell you why: Agri-tourism. Matt Roloff really is living the dream. He has this little farm out in Oregon where he grows pumpkins, peaches, apples - you name it. Visitors come out and buy his stuff and hang out on his farm a while (he also has a business where he sells step-stools to hotels so they can be more accomadating to "little people").

Anyway, his agri-tourism business allows him to do all kinds of other great stuff on his farm like dig his own swimming pool, make a huge zip line, a cowboy town and basically drive around on his little four-wheeler thing all day. It's great. Haven't you ever wanted to dig your own swimming pool?

Anyway, since he's a little person, he has a couple helpers - a guy I refer to as his "Mexican slave," who apparently does any of the real work that is needed. The second guy is Matt Roloff's old Dad. I usually feel sorry for his Dad since he's kind of an old guy that Matt forces to do all the labor while he sits on his four-wheeler and "manages."

If you haven't seen this show - watch it immediately. It's awesome. And if you still haven't picked out a Halloween costume - it's not too late. I suggest Amy and Matt.

UPDATED! Folks, I couldn't make this up...when I googled to find the photo of Matt Roloff I stumbled upon his Wikipedia entry - apparently, Matt Roloff was an Ewok! I kid you not. Apparently in the 1980s made-for-TV Ewok movie, Matt Roloff was an Ewok. It just keeps getting better.
