Production[edit]
The show was produced by WWE Studios and was broadcast on Netflix.[3] Josh Bycel and Jason Berger were executive producers and showrunners, with Susan Levison and Richard Lowell serving as executive producers for WWE Studios.[4] In September 2019, Big Show announced on “Stone Cold” Steve Austin’s podcast that the show had filmed three episodes and would premiere around the time of WrestleMania 36 in April 2020.[5] Later, it was announced that all 8 episodes would premiere on April 6, 2020, on Netflix.[6] On August 31, 2020, Netflix opted not to order a second season for the series, but would end the series with a Christmas special,[7] which was released on December 9, 2020.[8]
Reception[edit]
Joel Keller of Decider wrote that the sitcom was “okay to stream”, and that Berger and Bycel’s “comedy pedigrees help make the show a tiny bit better than your average TGIF/Nick/Disney family sitcom. That doesn’t mean that it’s a good show, but at least it’s not terrible”. Keller added that Big Show can do physical comedy “very well”, while praising Munn for “handl[ing] it like a pro” and describing the daughter characters as the “usual mix of overly-verbal and super-precocious kids”.[9] Matt Fowler of IGN described the show as having “the potential to be either wholly terrible or fully great. The truth, overall, lies somewhere in between as Big Show proves himself to be an amiable, glowing, towering ‘family man’ capable of carrying multi-cam sitcom shenanigans”.[10] Randall Colbum of The A.V. Club also likened the sitcom to the TGIF sitcoms of the 1990s, and wrote: “As tends to happen in these sorts of stories, the very act of a man so large demonstrating vulnerability is all the punchline an audience needs.”[1] Common Sense Media gave the show three out of five stars, describing it as “a little rough, but mostly sweet”.[11]
A comedic recap and review podcast about the show, The Big Show Show Show, was launched in May 2020.[12]
