The Big Show Show

With no expectations but was seemingly expected something of comedy and interesting enough storylines. This series is okay at that. The comedy and humor is very much family and child friendly and although the stories are relatively familiar/nothing new, there is a certain interest about it. The Big Show is a capable actor and does have an act for comedy. He's relatively funny without trying too hard.

Some of the jokes do try a little too hard (especially the youngest daughter but we get used to it), and the constant use of one of the boy's name being "Taylor Swift" (not sure at how the writers really thought it was funny and they continued with that a little too much), and nothing is really laugh out loud but since the comedy is juvenile, it is somewhat entertaining. The first couple episodes are possibly the weakest, with the last 3 are possibly being the best. The series does get better as you get used it to.

A mistake was sending the series to Netflix, knowing there wouldn't be a large enough audience to ensure following seasons, and as expected, the views were low resulting in the show being cancelled after 1 season. As we know, Netflix is quite harsh and won't hesitate to cancel a series after 1 season due to low ratings (even with fans and critics enjoying it). Perhaps it would have faired better off being on the Disney channel (but even so, how much of an audience would have tuned in). In the end, don't take the show too serious. It's enjoyable to an extent but nothing ground breaking.

The Big Show Show follows the titular Big Show playing a fictionalized version of himself who's now retired from the WWE and trying to focus on how best to spend his retirement and be a father to his three daughters. At first glance The Big Show Show may seem like a 90s TGIF sitcom or one of the sitcoms on Nickelodeon, but thanks to some clever writing and strong performances it manages to elevate itself beyond expectations. Both Big Show(Paul Wright) and Allison Munn have great chemistry playing the respective parents of the family, and the kids while somewhat exaggerated caricatures(with the exception of MAYBE the oldest daughter) never come off as grating or annoying. Special praise for Jaleel White playing Big Show's best friend terry who scores some of the biggest laughs with his Gym Owner/Would be inventor. Does every joke work? No. One such example is a running gag with a kid named Taylor Swift(who's a boy), but for the most part the failed gags are few and far between. When I wasn't laughing I was smiling and that's about as much as you can ask for from a show like this. The show comes to us from Josh Bycel and Jason Berger who served as executive producers on the short lived but also very funny LA to Vegas and have credits on very funny comedies from American Dad to cult favorite Psych. The show is mostly family friendly, with the exception of the word "crap" uttered once, but despite people's complaints it's not THAT bad and your kids are probably saying much worse when they're alone with their friends.

Nice and innocent family and kids tv show, The acting is not that bad, and it is like your standerd nickelodeon TV sitcom but on Netflix, watch it if you are feeling bored

Most of the cast is good The Big Joe is good but the little sister annoying thing has been played out

It's really mesmerising to watch a legendary wrestler to act such professionally . I was eagerly waiting for this show since it was first announced tbh I didn't expect so much professionalism from Big Show in a sitcom cause come on people we ever saw him power slamming in the ring . Totally loved the show . Wroth watching .
