The Littlest Groom : ウィキペディア英語版 | The Littlest Groom ''The Littlest Groom'' was a reality television miniseries that aired for two episodes on the Fox network in 2004. Modelled on ''The Bachelor'', the miniseries followed salesman Glen Foster, a 4'5" little person, in his search for love within a group of both little women and women of average stature. ==Reception==
The show was subjected to considerable negative criticism from media critics and the general public,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Littlest Groom )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Littlest Groom )〕 due to its purportedly exploitative “latter-day freak show” dimension〔Robert McRuer. ''Crip Theory: Cultural Signs of Queerness and Disability'' (New York University Press, 2006), p. 58. Note that, after outlining this conventional interpretation, McRuer foregrounds the ways in which we can “read the show against the grain” (60) to identify signs of resistance to it; see ''Crip Theory'', pp. 58-63.〕 or “carnival-like” quality.〔Michelle Brophy-Baermann. “True Love on TV: A Gendered Analysis of Reality-Romance Television”. ''Poroi'', 4.2 (2005): art. 2, para. 3〕 Nonetheless, at least one of the little women who appeared on the show explicitly rejected this interpretation,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=SPU Student Brings Her Interest in People to the Set of TV’s "The Littlest Groom" )〕 as did Foster himself.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=New reality show 'Littlest Groom' raises concerns about exploitation )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Fox escorts ‘Littlest Groom’ down the reality-TV aisle. Bachelor says he didn't feel exploited )〕 Similarly, Matt Roloff, then-president of the advocacy group Little People of America, commented on the potential for ''The Littlest Groom'' to provide a positive media representation of little people as individuals “just being themselves". “()iding us behind closed doors or in funny costumes”, he observed, “will never give us the exposure needed to desensitize society to us”.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Dwarf-date show sparks controversy—Some criticize, but show has support from little-people group ) For an excellent overview of the historical backdrop to this controversy, see: Betty M.
