A new comedy star is emerging and her name is Melissa McCarthy. Also today: the glorious return of Little People, Big World, catching up with the Ribisis, and an exciting new gay movie.

That's all, folks! The Roloff family bid adieu to their reality show in a terribly depressing episode. The twins want to move out, they're selling the farm, and Mom and Pop Roloff are contemplating divorce. Who needs a happy ending?

On last night's episode, it was inspiring to see how calmly Matt talked about his sickness and impending death, yet absolutely heartbreaking to see his collapse at the end of the episode, as his shocked family fumbled to help him.

Oh, you know, she's always been around, but she coulda been a contender! But she isn't, for some reason. Also today: a new HBO show about theater finds its potential cast, plus a new Wizard of Oz movie.

On Little People, Big World, father Matt elected himself to be the "manager" of son Zach's soccer team. He proceeded to impose his opinion on everything from uniforms to sponsorship, irritating and alienating both his son and his wife.

Spike announced that it will jump on the little people bandwagon with what sounds to be a well thought-out, educational docudrama about dwarf wrestling. Is this too far? Inside, an examination at the success and malaise of tiny TV.

Are you going to watch the season premiere of TLC's Little People, Big World tonight? You should. Seriously. The show's pragmatic, mostly unsappy depiction of a family overcoming innate challenges makes it, sincerely, one of the best shows on television. It's about dwarfism, yes, but really about the importance of family and the strange wonders of growing up and, quite simply, the daily mechanics of pursuing the American dream. In tonight's premiere, father Matt faces a drunk driving conviction. Nothing cheesy about that!
