Reality TV Mainstay

Little People, Big World first premiered back in 2006, and it was quickly able to establish itself as a reality television mainstay. This TLC series was a regular rating-draw for the channel, and it was recognized for delivering excellent insight into the lives of people living with dwarfism. Besides showing a new perspective, the cast and their relationships with each other also received praise.

Despite the success and highlights, the show received some degree of criticism as well. Critics pointed out the fact that the show’s romantic relationships were laid out in a way that was poorly presented. Critics also pointed out that the show had a ton of room for improvement and that the cast and the staff could do so much more to faithfully showcase people with dwarfism on television.
