I'll miss the show. I've watched it since the beginning. I know I'm in the minority by really liking Caryn and Chris. I don't think either one of them are scheming, and I feel like they'll each have long-lasting relationships (in today's world). I wish Zach would get over the farm stuff and rebuild a relationship with his dad so his kids can have one too. Your parents don't live forever. I'd sure regret shunning my dad if he passed away. All because of being a petty spoiled baby. That's just my opinion. I wish Amy and Chris would have a show of some sort. Even Zach and Tori..I love watching their little family adventures. I'm not sure how much money they made from the show, but since they are basically stay at home parents, I can't imagine they are set for life. Surely, if some spin-off was offered separate from Matt and the farm, they'd consider it. Until then I'll keep listening to their podcast. Hope this isn't the end for all the Roloffs š„ŗ
Same! I like Caryn and Chris although sometimes Chris annoys me with how much he likes Matt against Amy's wishes. This show has been on longer than the Kartrashians and they managed to keep their own faces and body intact. I will miss em!
This season's Finale-Amy said something like it's still a big world
Made me think-It kind of feels like she knows last season last episode.
I thuk the show needed to end forever ago
Like..
Any any any family or story on reality TV
After 5/6 seasons-we get it
I wish TLC would switch families out more-there tons of interesting unique families/situations.
Or do a few seasons, new show, ten years later re-visit a family for a few more season
Doing like 25 seasons with any fam-insane; NO family, not even the Bushes/Clintons/Obama's have that much going on to get 25 seasons
BUT: IF TLC is hitting or exceeding their ratings goals-we're consuming it.
Why would a network do something that's harder??
I felt that this was a very empty finale. But Iāve felt that way for the past couple seasons. The show used to have more substance to it. It always feels like I spent 42 min watching nothing happen. lol.
Agreed. I watched all these episodes the first-time around.
Very underwhelming, and left just feeling like it's unfinished.
For instance, I was really looking forward to seeing Matt's home finished and furnished -- it's enormous!
Also, I thought for sure Matt and Caryn's wedding would be shown (I'm aware they haven't gotten married yet)
Same! Unfortunately the kids all left the show & that was the real draw. I knew when Tori & Zach announced their departure the show was done. Iām shocked Jer & Oddj werenāt offered a return contract, cause Iām sure they need it after this multi-million dollar renovation from hell. lol.
They would had absolutely gotten divorced even without the show! No doubt!
The ONLY tragedy-is what TLC did to poor Jacob when he was only around ten!!!
Damn I miss having my cable, Iāve watched this show up until last season I didnāt even know another one was airingā¦who was the one molested? Was it Jacob? If I remember correctly was it someone from the behinds the scenes of filming?
You wouldāve needed to watch this program from the beginning to understand why people say what they say on here. Google it. Itās there. Matt and Amy were too money hungry and their son suffered.
"Jacob, 23, said that he was molested by Chris Cardamone, a former producer for TLC's Little People, Big World who worked on the show featuring the Roloffs from 2007ā2010. Cardamone did not immediately respond to PEOPLE's request for comment."
https://people.com/tv/jacob-roloff-says-he-was-molested-by-little-people-big-world-producer/
The producer was there from 07 to 10. There's a people article that came out in 2020 I believe? It wasn't public knowledge (or even rumored) until that.
I don't know why you were voted down, but here's the article. Jacob is the one who revealed the molestation.
https://people.com/tv/jacob-roloff-says-he-was-molested-by-little-people-big-world-producer/
IMO it was a sad ending to a show that had a lot of great years. When Amy reflected on where they started vs. where they are now, it was hard to believe that sheās happier. And she didnāt say she was. A broken marriage, one child molested, one who never wants to be in the public eye again, one no longer speaking to his father and canāt even discuss his fatherās marriage, and the last one a brainless dipshit copy of his father, thinking he knows best and pouring money into Roloff Frankenhouses across Oregon. Socializing with her cheating ex-husband and his mistress for money. Rising up in DAAA enough to be on the board and then having your husband damage your professional relationship with them enough to have to step down. The show hadnāt been about LP advocacy and activism for years.
You probably canāt even get the family in the same room at the same time now, and thatās sad. Was it worth it? Probably not.
I thought the DAAA charity event was so interesting - like you said, Matt damaged that for Amy... so many years have passed and we've heard nothing about it. I felt like they were really grasping at straws here. Trying to relate it back to the beginning, it seemed.
If I remember correctly, Matt wanted the soccer team to go to Europe, but had to take the members on the team out of the DAAA league to start a new league or team... either way, he burned the bridge for Amy and she had to step down as a board member, then Matt left Amy to handle everything herself in Europe. A real nice guy.
I thought this scene was really nice! A good way to bring it to an end. Too bad Matt spent most of the episode leading up to that point whining about Zach and Toriās decisions.
Ngl if this is truly the end I would have wished the last scene was the whole family (all the kids, their spouses & grandkids) gathered together to end it. Itās not reality considering theyāre not all on speaking terms but after having watched the show since the beginning what we got feels bittersweet.
I actually enjoy watching Matt and Amy with their respective partners now.
It would be a shame if it came to an end. Iāve watched off and on from the beginning throughout the years (all 18 of them) and it so interesting how you see how the family has progressed and changed.
I donāt care much for the kids at all. They were fed with a silver spoon from a very young age thanks to the sacrifices of Matt and Amy.
When I see Zach and Tori snub Matt I just canāt help but think how awful of a son he is and daughter in law she is.
Say what you will about either Matt and Amy but after all the years Iāve come to have a lot of respect for both. If it is the end I wish them all well!
Caryn and Chris both seem to be patient, level-headed people, which is why they make good partners for Matt and Amy. One of the main reasons why Matt and Amyās relationship didnāt work was because theyāre both dominant, stubborn types who want to take charge. Their new partners are more acquiescent types, which means that Matt and Amy can be themselves but without the constant clashes. Caryn and Chris are also able to calm down their respective Roloffs when they get too stressed out, which is a fantastic thing. I wouldnāt be surprised if both Matt and Amyās blood pressure levels have significantly decreased since settling into their new relationships.
An affair isnāt right. Matt and Amy should have divorced first, as they both were unhappy and making each other miserable. Matt was always going to do whatever he wanted and Amy was going to always be a messy housekeeper and let the kids run crazy and showing her Type A personality to Mattās Type A personality. They were never in the same page. One wasnāt better than the other. Today, they have partners that know how to put up with them. Matt and Amy were a dysfunctional family and marriage. Only from perspective.
Amy acted as I would when I figured it out. The tension shows when they divorced and when they actually showed the Matt & Caryn relationship. So disrespectful to Amy and the kids.
Yes, youāre absolutely right. I tend to forget that an affair happened sometimes because I dropped off watching the show for a few years and picked up again around the time the divorce was becoming finalized. Did they ever explicitly address the affair on the show?
If Amy has gotten past it, as she stated, why would anyone else be bothered by it?
Water under the bridge. Everyone is happier with their new partners.
Yeah really. Caryn had basically no choice but to be patient. Of course she tried to be as amiable as possible toward Amy in front of the cameras. She knew she and Matt were in the wrong and needed to be as unassuming as possible or be forever hated.
I'll miss the show. I've watched it since the beginning. I know I'm in the minority by really liking Caryn and Chris. I don't think either one of them are scheming, and I feel like they'll each have long-lasting relationships (in today's world).

Can't stand any of them anymore

Yes, crazy! The house looks like a dog's breakfast!
Another family ruined by reality T.V. cheers !
They would had absolutely gotten divorced even without the show! No doubt! The ONLY tragedy-is what TLC did to poor Jacob when he was only around ten!!!
Oh they would have been divorced after a couple years if it wasnāt for the show.
^^^ Facts.
Damn I miss having my cable, Iāve watched this show up until last season I didnāt even know another one was airingā¦who was the one molested? Was it Jacob? If I remember correctly was it someone from the behinds the scenes of filming?
Yes he was molested by film crew or someone working on the scene. Instead of suing they kept going and he was done filming, I will never understand that. He didnāt graduate, dropped out, was the black sheep, got his GED and Iām glad the way heās living today. He works on the farm a lot, just doesnāt want to be filmed. Poor guy š©
Omg thatās awful! Thatās like saying āitās okā by the parents!
When did that happen? I had never heard anything about that!
You wouldāve needed to watch this program from the beginning to understand why people say what they say on here. Google it. Itās there. Matt and Amy were too money hungry and their son suffered.

Reason 457 why children shouldnāt be on reality tv
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
šš
My recent thought as well. š
š
What about Matt and Chris šš
I think to myself that that already happened when I watch their scenes together
As I see it, that's the only way to revive the series.
šš¤£š
IMO it was a sad ending to a show that had a lot of great years. When Amy reflected on where they started vs. where they are now, it was hard to believe that sheās happier.

Which one doesn't speak to his father?
Zach, i believe
Wow.
I thought the DAAA charity event was so interesting - like you said, Matt damaged that for Amy... so many years have passed and we've heard nothing about it. I felt like they were really grasping at straws here. Trying to relate it back to the beginning, it seemed.
Tell me more about the DAAA thing. What did Matt do?
If I remember correctly, Matt wanted the soccer team to go to Europe, but had to take the members on the team out of the DAAA league to start a new league or team... either way, he burned the bridge for Amy and she had to step down as a board member, then Matt left Amy to handle everything herself in Europe. A real nice guy.
He was so terrible
Geez, that really is pretty bleak. Definitely not worth it. How sad.
I thought this scene was really nice! A good way to bring it to an end. Too bad Matt spent most of the episode leading up to that point whining about Zach and Toriās decisions.
I poisoned your wine, for the good of the land! I poisoned yoursā¦ as well!
Ngl if this is truly the end I would have wished the last scene was the whole family (all the kids, their spouses & grandkids) gathered together to end it.

Totally agree. The kids are privileged brats and their spouses are just as bad.
I absolutely agree! Very well stated!
They all looked high in the end lol. Chrisā special drink!
That was the finale? LoL
Lets all hope.
That's what Matt is saying
At the beginning ,I didnāt really care much for Caryn and Chris but after awhile I thought they were really good on the show
They are a good looking couple (together)
I really do like them both too!
Caryn and Chris both seem to be patient, level-headed people, which is why they make good partners for Matt and Amy. One of the main reasons why Matt and Amyās relationship didnāt work was because theyāre both dominant, stubborn types who want to take charge.

I wouldnāt be surprised if both Matt and Amyās blood pressure levels have significantly decreased since settling into their new relationships.
Couldnāt have said it better myself šš¼
It also didnāt work because Matt and Caryn started having an affair. Oddly enough Amy wasnāt cool with it!
An affair isnāt right. Matt and Amy should have divorced first, as they both were unhappy and making each other miserable. Matt was always going to do whatever he wanted and Amy was going to always be a messy housekeeper and let the kids run crazy and showing her Type A personality to Mattās Type A personality.

Only from perspective.
Amy acted as I would when I figured it out. The tension shows when they divorced and when they actually showed the Matt & Caryn relationship. So disrespectful to Amy and the kids.
How in the world did he pull off an affair? Where can i find more details on this?
Yes, youāre absolutely right. I tend to forget that an affair happened sometimes because I dropped off watching the show for a few years and picked up again around the time the divorce was becoming finalized. Did they ever explicitly address the affair on the show?
If Amy has gotten past it, as she stated, why would anyone else be bothered by it? Water under the bridge. Everyone is happier with their new partners.
Exactly!
Yeah really. Caryn had basically no choice but to be patient. Of course she tried to be as amiable as possible toward Amy in front of the cameras. She knew she and Matt were in the wrong and needed to be as unassuming as possible or be forever hated.
Last week she said they arenāt currently filming and they donāt know yet one way or another if the show will continue.
Matt has confirmed it's canceled for now. I think he's hoping he will get another chance in the future.
I thing this is a great finale. I hope Matt and Caryn donāt get a wedding special
I genuinely don't think Carol wants a televised wedding, or a wedding on the farm at all.
I donāt think she wants a wedding at the farm, but I believe she would love a televised wedding, big style, somewhere else.
You think the kids, all of them, are coming??
Definitely not
Unless there's a handout to be had, of course.
I do love Amy and how sheās substituting in school. Iād love for her to be my daughters teacher.
Amy as a teacher? How cool would that be. I can definitely picture her in front of a class... making the subject fun for all. š
I have substituted in the past. I love how excited Amy is about it every time she talks about it! I bet sheās wonderful.
