Isn't his name Rocky? He is very cute. He's so sweet and gentle and I LOVE his face.
I also watch Little People Big World. It's one of my favorite shows. I have been a bit disturbed over what I've been hearing about Jeremy. I've heard he's extremely homophobic, and that bothers me a little. In fact, I've also heard Matt (and his father) are also very homophobic. There have been numerous discussions about it on the various message boards, including IMDb. You can read a lot about it over there and also on the TLC website, although they (TLC) seem to be rather quick in erasing anything negative about the Roloffs, which is understandable I guess.

This doesn't bother me enough to stop watching the show, but I DO find it a bit disillusioning. Especially since the Roloffs go around the country teaching and speaking about tolerance and acceptance, and yet seem perfectly happy to discount an entire group of people because of their sexual orientation.
