I've noticed that tonight's episode is being advertised as "the finale", and not the "season" finale. Is this show not coming back?

I thought the same thing but just watched the new episode and they are coming back in April! This episode made me sad as I have a high school senior graduating in June. Yikes, I see lots of tears coming.

Wasn't advertised as final here, just graduation.

I'm partway through and have shed some tears with Amy.

Matt sure is an impatient dude.

I kind of lost it when Jeremy mentioned Mike and when Zach acknowledged that Amy went to work to make it possible for them to go to the private school they attended.

They have some cool sounding crickets..

Seamonkey, I'd enjoy the interview with Amy but can't DVR NBC programs. If you see a link on youtube, etc. afterward, would you mind posting a link here for it? Thanks.

Human Solutions Warming Shelter/Amy Roloff Charity Foundation

Posted: 05 Apr 2010 06:08 PM PDT


Human Solutions exceeds 30/30 Goal ahead of seasonal Warming Center closure
34 homeless families were housed by Human Solutions and JOIN through this
Multnomah County funded program, 30 Families in 30 Days. In fact, Human
Solutions moved at least 30 more families from homelessness to housing over
the winter months. Currently, Human Solutions is searching for employers to
assist these families so they can keep their housing when the County funding
expires at the end of June.

All though the winter weather is winding down, homeless families with
children on both the West and the East sides of Portland will have emergency
shelter for another 30-60 days thanks to funding from Multnomah County,
religious organizations, businesses, and individual donors who have
contributed throughout the winter months. This funding will allow a unique
community partnership between two nonprofits, more than 30 churches, and the
community at large, to continue providing emergency services to homeless
families, 82% of which are single women with children. Human Solutions operates a Homeless Family Warming Center at NE 81st and
Halsey; all the families who stay there overnight are welcome to receive
services during the day at Human Solution’s Daybreak Shelter. According to
Jean DeMaster, Executive Director at Human Solutions, “It’s especially
difficult when homeless families have nowhere else to go and have to live in
their cars or trucks, in campgrounds, or in abandoned buildings without heat
or electricity-it is even harder when the weather is so cold.” DeMaster
added that school age children have great difficulty continuing to attend
school and keep up with their peers academically when they have no safe,
dry, warm place to sleep, eat, bathe or wash clothes. To read the full press
release about the Warming Center closure,

Amy Roloff, star of Little People Big World, on TLC, has volunteered twice
this winter at our Homeless Family Warming Center. Amy and some of her
family and friends brought food and visited with people staying in the
Warming Center Friday night, April 2nd. Both channel 2 and 6 sent news crews
to cover her visit and learn about the Warming Center. Amy’s foundation has
featured Human Solutions on its website to encourage more people to give to
our programs benefiting homeless families. To visit Amy Roloff Charity

That Jeremy is really something, isn't he? He has such a great attitude and sense of adventure. Zach is being a total stick in the mud so far on their trip. I can't imagine him ever leaving the safety (and allowed laziness) of his parent's house.

He really is. I also loved how polite he was to everyone. He always said "thank you sir". I understand that the red light district is probably not his thing but he didn't have to get mad about going there.

I do worry about Zach. I've known several people who 'shut down' when stressed and I don't think it is a very healthy way to go. My DH did it for years, but when he was diagnosed with clinical depression and started on the meds he's never done it again. Do you suppose Zach has a form of depression?

Jeremy comes alive out in the world! They sure had some nice private hostel rooms.

I didn't mind Zach's comments about the red light district.. just went against his upbringing, but he wasn't real enthused about too much.. now it could be that besides simply having shorter legs than his brother we have to remember that there are other issues associated with his form of dwarfism and he has a reason to have a shunt in his head to drain fluids. It could be that he actually does need more sleep than Jeremy. But he did pretty well getting involved once they were out and I'd bet the editing was slanted to stress the differences. I was proud of him for getting and wearing the kilt and making it all the way up that hill.

But Jeremy certainly has a light about him and curiosity that can lead him to all sorts of things in life. In that way he's more like Amy.

And of course they've been sort of going separate ways of late. I noticed that Zach said he wished Molly was coming with them.

Yep. I think Matt and Amy funded the trip for the twins and chose not to fund it for anyone else, hoping the two would come closer together. I'm pretty sure if they had wanted others to go, TLC would have arranged for it.

I was disappointed by Zach's "red light district" comments .. I realize that it goes against everything he was taught as a child at home ... but where is his sense of adventure? He's a teenager with few interests other than soccer.

Uh, I hate to ask this but what if one of his friends "came out" to him? End of friendship? Just askin'

I think we have to see things from Zach's perspective. He is the only little person among his siblings. His twin can do everything he wishes he could do. I don't think being a little person bothered Zach so much when he was little, but as an older teen and young man, the differences are more obvious to him. Where we see Jeremy being outgoing Zach is hanging back, perhaps he's self-conscious, aware of the stares. He obviously feels more secure in familiar surroundings because people know him and the stares and perhaps even giggles are at a minimum.

It's not fair, it's not right, but people can be very cruel, and I'm sure Zach has been on the receiving end of cruelty more than once in his life. All of this may have made him a lot more hesitant to venture out, to be vulnerable. I think Zach notices the differences between himself and his twin a lot more obviously when then are away from home and out of his comfort zone. Just saying....I may be all wet here, but that's my take on it.

I think it's just Zach's personality. Seems we've seen him do the wet blanket routine a lot in the comfort of his own home. I've known average people with the same kind of personality. Jeremy does a good job of putting up with it, as I'm sure he's had to his whole life. Watching his sense of adventure is refreshing. I can't wait to see how the other 2 kids act when they are in Europe.

Unfortunately I've seen Zach's apparent lazy , "woe am i" attitude in average sized kids/young adults too. He's kinda of a mope and unenthusiastic.
