Little People, Big World premiered on TLC in 2006, and it recently completed its 24th season. When the show first premiered, it primarily focused on Matt and Amy’s marriage while they raised their children Zach, Jeremy, Molly, and Jacob on the Roloff family farm.

“We watch their shows — and not saying that they aren’t great shows — but we want people to relate to us. Not everybody lives on big farm. Not everybody is a doctor,” Amber Johnston said.

7 Little Johnstons premiered on TLC in 2015. Speaking with Good Housekeeping, Amber Johnston shared that she thinks 7 Little Johnstons is a relatable reality show for all viewers.

“Being able to show some of our struggles will be relatable to viewers because it’s not just that we’re struggling because we’re 4 feet tall; we’re struggling to raise teenagers or in our marriage,” she said. “They are things that everybody can relate to, no matter what.”
