Parents need to know that this is a rare reality show families can watch together, but kids won't be terribly interested in the show's primary focus: being a parent. That said, there are positive messages to be had about overcoming adversity and shattering stereotypes.
Positive messages:The show challenges stereotypes and reinforces self-reliance and courage in the face of constant adversity. It also raises awareness of what it's like to be a little person living among average-sized family members.
Positive role models:Because of their size, Craig and Becky have to overcome everyday obstacles that most other parents don't have to face. But Becky's tone with Craig can be condescending when she's feeling "moody," making her a less-than-perfect role model when it comes to communication.
Language:Very occasional, very mild language like "butt."
Consumerism:Brands like Chili's restaurant occasionally pop up in the course of the couple's daily lives.
Drinking, drugs, & smoking:Some social drinking, but not much. There's talk of Becky being "wild" before she married Craig, "stumbling out of bars" and "dancing in cages."

This show is yet ANOTHER example of a poor husband wife relationship. The wife is rude and constantly degrading the husband who is trying his best- but still cowers to his wife and never appears to take his role as the leader of the home.
In the 3 episodes I saw- the wife was unkind at least 42 times--and used kind words or words of affirmation towards her husband TWICE.
Sad.
very demanding wife, shows little respect for her husband. very selfish person.perhaps she should take a seat back and reflect how she comes across, be thankful for efforts her husband makes to please her not tear down and left feeling miserable. first time watching not interested in someone going off like a crazy nut to return to the show. thank you for showing wives at home how not to treat your spouse whom you love, respect, and adore???.... feel very sorry for Charlie & Craig. Miserable people end up with what they attract----ALONE!!! Wake Up....your awful Becky.
