Over on the mattroloff.com forums, one of the fans dug up this video. It is the original trailer TLC ran for Little People Big World in select movie theaters in late 2004 and early 2005. The kids, and the farm, have changed a lot in the years since the shows’ debut.

Fox12 in Oregon reported Friday that Matt’s DUI trial has been set for December 5th. Matt was pulled over last June, and later cited after failing a sobriety test.
HILLSBORO, Ore. — A trial date has been set for television star Matt Roloff, who is accused of driving under the influence.
Roloff stars in “Little People, Big World,” a reality television show on The Learning Channel that focuses on the lives of Roloff, his wife and his son, all of whom are dwarfs.
He appeared in court Friday and a trial date was set for Dec. 5.
In June, a Washington County deputy pulled Roloff over as he was driving on West Union Road.
Deputies said Roloff failed a field sobriety test and was arrested. He was taken to the Washington County Jail and cited on charges of DUII, refusing a breath test and failing to drive within a lane.
It was the second time Roloff had been linked to a driving under the influence charge. In 2003, he had a DUII charge dismissed after completing an alcohol diversion program.
Roloff and his family live on a farm in Helvetia, Ore.
The news site also has a video of Matt in court - for those interested.
[Update - 12/17/07]
Word has it on the TLC forums that the trial has been delayed until mid January, which explains why there has been no news about the outcome of the December 5th trial.

I found this fun video over on youtube today of a tour of Roloff Farms. Jeremy guides the tour and answers a few questions along the way. At one point he tells the group that he’s “getting his license the 15th of October”, which was last Monday - the day of the season premiere. He also said it will be covered on the show in about 3 1/2 months.
I’m surprised at how accessible Jeremy is during parts of the video. You can clearly see the film crew from TLC in the background at one point, going about their business. Yet, they don’t seem too worried about people there with camcorders. Then again, I guess it is a reality show, and it makes sense that the crew would be used to filming in those types of situations. I don’t know, I guess for some reason I just imagined there would be some person from the crew going around telling people to turn off their camcorders while they’re working.

I stumbled across this video today made by a couple fans that shows Matt, Zach, and Molly on their visit to Paducah, KY back in August ‘07. Watch as Matt tells the audience that Molly’s favorite show is “Hannah Banana” (mistaken for Hannah Montana), and also reveals that his all-time favorite episode is the camping trip where Zach knocks himself on his keaster shooting the shotgun.
