The Roloffs are making a comeback! TLC is going to do four Little People, Big World specials following the Roloffs to address some of the series finale cliffhangers. I’m so excited about this news! They’d fallen off my radar since they’ve been off the air for so long…but I always have room in my heart for The Roloff family.

I can’t wait to see what they decided to do with the farm, how Matt and Amy’s marriage is, and how the kids are doing! The first special is set to air in early October.

About

Although comedy is her profession, Nadine has accomplished a lot in her young age. She is a national champion black belt, a world-class soccer player, and an avid snowboarder. She started playing soccer at the age of 4, and continued playing through college where she majored in Biology, but quickly realized her destiny was to tell jokes, not to wear a lab coat. So she decided to be funny while finishing her Bachelors Degree in biology and continued on to get her M.B.A. Nadine’s comedy style is much like her athleticism, fearless. She’s made her way up the comedy ladder very quickly, and has become a club favorite at many of the country’s top comedy clubs, including the Improv chain. Performing in the Boston Comedy Festival and being noted as the “one of the youngest and brightest up and comers” and traveling to the Middle East to entertain the troops are just a few of her notable accomplishments. These days Nadine splits time between the stage, a radio studio, her computer blogging, and a television studio. Nadine’s TV, Radio, Writing credits include: national commercials, talking head roles on E! Entertainment, Showtime’s Hot Tamales Live, The Skinny: Fat Free News, The Sunny Side of The Truth: Real World Hollywood, TVgasm, Zazreport, Daddy’s Girls, Jerseylicious, celebrity interviews on Mania TV, a weekly half-hour television show that syndicates to colleges across the country for National Lampoon and a nightly radio show on XM Satellite Radio.

    I hope my question doesn’t offend anyone but what are the genetic statistics of the next generation Roloffs’ children being little people, and are the odds different for the kids of Zach or Jeremy? This isn’t something we learned about in school, so most of the viewers, like me, don’t know the answer.

    I am really happy about this. I have Matt’s FB and blog tuned in to give me updates and he has been puching dirt and dirt and dirt. He planted the pumpkin patch of course and it will be bigger then ever before. They made a real haunted house maze and used wrecked dolls in it. HE won’t say what the dirt movement but wasn’t he trying to make the grand canyon?? And Amy bought him a wild west painted wagon for their anniversary. Not a covered wagon but a buggy with no lid.
    The youngest son tested out of a few grades and is going to go to some sort og hybrid school. Daughter this summer iscollege shopping as she readies for her senior year. The family just finished the LP World Olympics and kicked ass once again.

    @PTR: I would assume genetics would work in this case as they do in others..depending on the percentages of the genes the parents carry. Both parents are children of regular sized people, so they have inherited a recessive gene. However, the two of them getting together, could make this gene dominant in their offspring. However, Matt has stated that he and Amy both have different types of dwarfism, so their genes possibly didn’t combine to make a dominant dwarfism gene. Quite possibly, the make up of genes the kids receive from their parents are 1 regular size gene and 1 specific kind of dwarfism gene (50% of our genes come from each parent), giving each child 2 parts ‘regular size’ genes, 1 part Amy’s dwarfism, and 1 part Matt’s. So, the most dominant gene would be the ‘regular size’ one because it has two parts, coming from both mom and dad. Therefore, most of the children were born with this dominant gene and normal height while Zach inherited the recessive gene of Amy’s type of dwarfism.

    For the children..they will bring those 2:1:1 genetic ratios to their partnerships. Depending on the genetic traits of their spouses, for instance, a spouse who carries no dwarfism gene will have four regular size genes (2 from each parent), giving their future children more than an 80% chance of being born without dwarfism.

    The odds for Jeremy and Zach should be the same, if I’m not mistaken, because they share the same genetic makeup, given to them by their parents. It is only that one gene dominated over the other, but they are all present in both boy’s DNA.

    (It’s like my baby being born with my mother’s nose, even though I don’t have it..I still carry it in my genes. lol)

    Hope this helps!! :)
