While visiting a friend in New York, I got hooked on The Learning Channel. Mind you, TLC was one of those channels that I would flip right on by, looking for either a music video, a good cartoon, maybe an old episode of ER. But my friend is hooked on TLC, and now I am too! I think they truly have a show for everyone. They make the most obscure stuff interesting.

They have one show called Small People, Big World and it's all about a husband and wife who are both little people (under 4 feet tall). Apparently there are different medical reasons for being that short, including dwarfism and other stuff. Anyways, they have 3 kids and that totally keeps them busy. They have an average height daughter, and twin boys, one who's a little person, and another who's average height (so they're fraternal twins). It answers a lot of questions, like how do little people get along in a house built for big people, how do they drive cars made for average height people, and how do you parent a kid that's taller than you? It's really intersting!

They have show on making over cars (think Pimp My Ride except with important details), a show on a family with 16 children (all natural born - ouch), and shows on birth stories, wedding stories, emergency room miracles. They have shows on everything! So check it out sometime, you might be surprised that you can't change the channel.
