I was kind of thinking that too. Then got confused cuz one epi showed them stopping the reno. Next epi shows much of the completed reno.

Maybe TLC is trying to combine the Duggars and the Roloffs into one show... (Or the Roloffs and the Gosselins.)

Wonder if the bigger house will equal bigger clutter or not...

Does any one know when or if this first show of the season will be repeated? I forgot it started and didn't get it on my DVR.

Thanks in advance.

Smokey, be careful on the DVR.. for some reason my Time Warner has this first ep listed as "Little People, Big World: Operation Iraq

Anyway it repeats here at 7pm on Sat ( 4pm and 11pm if you have HD) and is well worth seeing.

I think they showed the Iraq story out of sequence because it was such in important story. The house was completely finished in this episode. It looks like next week it'll be back to the house renovation mess.

Somewhere in the Matt goes to Iraq episode, Amy mentioned opening a bed & breakfast. Maybe that's why they are expanding the house, but because of the way they're running the episodes it isn't being made clear to us.

With the money the TV show earns them, if they use it wisely it could probably see them through the rest of their lives...I know it could mine.

I did love Matt's comment to Amy about how could they have a B&B with such clutter. Ohhh Amy got mighty ticked off at that one. I think that's when she mentioned getting separated!! (Though I know she was not serious.)

Thank you, Sea! I am going to look to see if this shows up on my schedule. I have Time Warner, too. I'm eastern time zone.

I got shook up a little watching the promos for the upcoming season, especially when they show Mike. I was kind of expecting them to put an In Memoriam section at the end of the show in his honor.

Yeah that was kind of jarring, seeing Mike without an acknowledgement. I'm sure that will come.

Is Mike the one that got injured with their youngest son?

I thought I heard Amy say that "all things have to come too and end" I assumed she meant the show.

Angelic, Mike has passed away :-(


quote:

Mike Detjen — Matt's business partner, a close family friend, and soccer coach, appeared on most episodes. Matt sometimes put Mike in charge when he was away so the farm chores got completed. Amy took care of Mike after the accident that injured Mike and Jacob. On June 5, 2008, the Roloffs announced that Mike had passed away while undergoing an emergency operation to repair a torn aorta

Just to add that the torn aorta didn't occur during the trebouchet accident, which occured 18 months earlier..


quote:

Jacob's accident
Jacob Roloff (along with family friend Mike Detjen) was seriously injured in an accident on the family farm on Saturday, October 28, 2006 (episode aired April 9, 2007). They were injured when the family's trebuchet, known in the Delaware valley as a "pumpkin chunkin' machine" (which they use to launch pumpkins as part of the pumpkin season promotion), prematurely triggered. Jacob was rushed to nearby Legacy Emanuel Hospital, and underwent surgery to relieve swelling in his head caused by a small piece of skull pushed into his brain. Jacob and Mike were released on Monday, October 30 and have made full recoveries.[10][11][12]

Although a TLC camera crew were at the farm recording footage, they were not in the area where the accident occurred. The incident, therefore, was not recorded. Prior to the airing of two new episodes on November 4, TLC aired a brief segment with Matt and Amy acknowledging the accident and thanking everyone for their support. Jacob was shown with what appeared to be an injury around his right eye.

Footage taken shortly after the accident occurred on the farm was shown December 16 in the final minutes of the season finale, "Farm Overload." A crowd had gathered around Jacob, who was lying on the ground near the trebuchet. The first two episodes of season 3 focus on the accident, and how the local media reacted to it.

Good show last night from several different angles. What I liked best was seeing the twins make good progress with their grades...and Zack's film was great...a new Speilberg in the making?

In tonight's episode, apparently the twins take their cars mudding and get in trouble. We'll see how long that lasts...

Last night's previews led one to believe that Amy may have been injured as they showed an ambulance and the hospital and her talking to someone on the phone, but I'm thinking it could possibly be the loss of their dear friend Mike.

I'm thinking it's about Mike, too. Matt looked devastated on the phone, didn't he? It did sound like Amy on the other end of the phone, but I couldn't make out what she was saying, sounded like crying.

Here is a link that says who is "injured". Look under extended family. I will be bawling watching the next episode.

We learned some time ago that Mike passed away. I think some of us were just speculating that next week's episode is when they reveal that information. There was a little misleading in the previews, as they showed Jeremy climbing up high on a piece of equipment and getting told by someone to be careful. Next scene was of the ambulance.

I kinda thought it was more of frustration than guilt. I got the feeling that it just ticked her off that something so simple as to cleaning out the laundry room required a call to mom who was in a different state and basically cannot do anything with that information other than worry about it. And when Amy mentioned something about having crummy kids, I think she met it. And they are kinda crummy, but they are the ones who raised them. Like with Matt and the napkin that Molly threw on the floor. He did not follow through with it and finally ended up taking care of it himself. And when Zach told Matt that he should have just waited for him to get home and he would do it, because Matt has to bribe Jeremy with money to do a job, then does it half-ass makes me think that even though they love their kids to death, some prime things to raising a child are being missed.

When Molly threw that napkin down, Matt was on the island in front of a laptop. Molly and Jacob were side by side on pcs too, zoned out in their own little worlds. A lot of the times I am watching, at least one or more are latched on a computer playing a game or something. And the episode about Amy being worried about with the renovation going on, that they were losing family time such as sit down dinners and whatnot. The show ended with them in the living room together for dinner. The problem? The tv was on.

Speaking of the laundry room, I could never have that kind of mess in there. This is my first season watching the show, so I am not sure how the house was before the renovation, but I would being having a fit with all the messes around the house.

Also, do they do more shows focusing more on Molly and Jacob? It doesn't all have to be about Amy, Matt, and the twins.
