Realistic Portrayal
It’s incredibly amazing to learn that TLC didn’t even need to convince this family when they approached them with an idea to create a reality series about them and their lives. Apparently, it was Amy who deserves credit for the seamless transition, and it has been known that she was especially excited by the opportunity to be on television.
Amy believed that people with short stature didn’t get enough attention as well as fair treatment by television in terms of a realistic portrayal. She certainly saw TLC’s offer as an excellent opportunity to change it. Besides Amy, the rest of the family also believed that it wasn’t an opportunity they wanted to miss as it highlights the different issues that they encounter every day.
