Does the cast of ‘7 Little Johnstons’ watch ‘Little People, Big World’?

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.
