Huge

THIS SHOW WAS SUPER INSPIRATIONAL FOR WOMAN WHO ARE ON BIGGER SIDE IT TRULY IS SAD THAT THIS SHOW ENDED BEFORE IT REALLY HAD A CHANCE TO TAKE OFF I WOULD HAVE WATCHED EVERY SINGLE EPISODE FROM BEGINNING TO END THIS SHOW WAS LITERALLY A GREAT PROGRAM THAT REALLY DID NOT GET TO TRULY MAKE ITS DEBUT BEFORE THEY REMOVED IT FROM THE THE SCREENS SAYING THAT IT WAS FAR TOO CONTROVERSIAL BUT IN REALITY ALL SHOWS ARE CONTROVERSIAL I. E. TODDLERS IN TIERRAS, DANCE MOMS, BIG BROTHER, HUGE NEEDS TO BE BROUGHT BACK ON AIR WITH THE 2 SAME GIRLS NIKKI BLONSKY AND CHRISTINE METZ.

I WOULD WATCH IT ALWAYS.....

This show is one of the first from ABC Family that I have truly enjoyed and related to! I think everyone can relate to this show in someway, everyone has felt like an outcast at some point in their lifetime and this show has a way of making you feel better about yourself. I was very disappointed today when I found out it was canceled, I was REALLY looking forward to seeing it again. I cannot believe that a show with this much honestly and substance was canceled, when a ridiculous show like "Secret Life" which gives girls and teens unrealistic expectations about EVERYTHING is still running. I really had high hopes for this show, hopes that it would help all teens and people realize that size is not what is important, it's what inside that matters. Not to mention Ian's song in the talent show episode, which was absolutely amazing and inspiring. ABC family, you really dropped the ball letting this wonderful show go.

This show is a great show! The characters are engaging. The acting is good. I think this show is a wonderful ABC Family show; it has something for every family member. It is fun enough for the kids, dramatic and engaging enough for teens, and it really makes you think, I think adults would enjoy it, too. Fun for all the family! I am super bummed that this show was canceled. Don't people like substance and quality anymore? This show is great! It teaches you to value people beyond their physical appearance; it teaches you that we all have our own struggles to go through; and that if we team up, we can help each other. There are many more lessons and ideas this show promotes subtly and fabulously, but these are just a few that popped into my head.

Seriously. This show is fun to watch! It's funny, it's dramatic, it makes you think, it has great character-focus while also addressing some big issues that may concern a lot of people. I really think this is a great TV show.

Bring HUGE back!

I know some large people, they aren't dessert binging, candy hoarding, self hating people. Some suffer injuries, some genetics, some probably gut biome damage. The world judges them harshly. Doctors tell them to "just eat less and exercise more" but that is also a judgement. Average people truly believe over eating high calorie foods is how you get fat. They really believe being fat is a failure of character because that is their self centered experience. The diet industry shoves this belief down everyone's throat because it's profitable. This 'failure of character', is the core of this show. Let's hope that awareness has risen since 2010. There is already enough pressure on young people, why is self hatred held up as a motivating force?

Wow.

Lately I've been feeling like I may just be too old to enjoy teen drama shows. But after watching all 10 episodes of Huge in a week, I've come to the conclusion that the issue is not my age but simply the mediocre nature of most shows aimed at teenagers.

Like most ABC Family series, Huge never got on my radar, but when I learned recently that "My So-Called Life" creator Winnie Holzman had made another series a few years ago I had to check it out.

It's a wonderful show, characters are complex, and the show reflects the emotional turmoil and poor decisions of teenagers without being soapy. While many series tend to create teen stereotypes, I believe in this group of people. And I found it fascinating to see the way people who were, in normal life, all outsiders, create cliques and ultimately do to others what was normally done to them. Nikki Blonsky was excellent as the rebellious Will, Gina Torres did a terrific job of creating a complex character uncomfortable in her own skin, and really, everyone in the cast was very good.

It's a shame this show was canceled. It was exactly the sort of intelligent, nuanced TV that there is not enough of in this world.
