The Miniature Wife Quick Facts

What Is The Miniature Wife About?

If Honey I Shrunk The Kids was as much about the adult couple's marriage as it was about kids surviving backyard horrors, it might be in the same ballpark as The Miniature Wife. The new series centers on married couple Lindy LIttlejohn, a popular author, and Les LIttlejohn, the creator of a high-tech device that accidentally shrinks LIndy down to a six-inch height.

The power imbalance that already existed between the two is magnified exponentially after the accident, and the show explores how their relationship can survive (assuming it deserves to) under such dire and unique circumstances. The show is based on the short story from author Manuel Gonzales.
