20 of the Funniest Reactions to the Absurdity of the Big Show's Netflix Sitcom
In case you missed it while deep in self-isolation, this week, Netflix dropped all eight episodes of The Big Show Show, a sitcom starring former WWE wrestler, the Big Show (his real name, Paul Wight).
The series itself opens with a simple premise: The Big Show's teenage daughter from a previous relationship moves to Tampa, Florida to live with him, his wife, and their two other daughters. Naturally, hijinks ensue when the family is forced to cope with their new and more closely acquainted living arrangements.
Meanwhile, Big Show (who appears as himself) attempts to readjust to life after the ring, having retired from the WWE in search of normalcy. Jaleel White a.k.a. Steve Urkel plays Show's best friend in the series and former WWE legends, including Steve Austin, Rikishi, and Mick Foley also make an appearance, in addition to an unexpected cameo from Queer Eye's Tan France.
And in a time when we're all probably binge-watching more than ever, viewers are taking to the show with mixed feelings (judging by social media, that is).
Case in point:
Is The Big Show Show as bad as it looks from the trailers? If so, IM IN!

Some people just don't know how to feel. Happy? Sad? Frustrated? You be the judge.

The Big Show Show teleported here from 1993. We need to warn it about coronavirus.

For others who'd probably wish to keep this quiet, The Big Big Show has become something of a guilty pleasure while in quarantine.

Hate to say it, but The Big Show Show is the best #wrestling I've seen in 2020 so far.

Others hate it—or otherwise, just remain skeptical.
Dear @netflix,
Currently I am watching the big big show and I have to be honest: what the actual fuck is this. No one would bare witness to the monstrosity that is the big big show.
Kind regards,
Walter.— Walter T (@WalterDesigns) April 9, 2020
Made it 7 minutes into The Big Show Show.
That's plenty. Barely passed the title card.— #FreeJoeExotic (@CodeNameOdd) April 8, 2020
Got super stoned and watched a couple of eps of The Big Show Show last night. Drugs are bad.

Last night I watched THE BIG SHOW SHOW on Netflix and it’s very bad, but tbh my biggest problem with it was that the family always eats dinner in the LIVING ROOM with the television OFF

The Big Show Show on Netflix is the modern day Mr. Nanny
That's not a good thing, oh the cringe— JC Ramsey (@jcramseycomedy) April 9, 2020
Technically The Big Show Show is as real as WWE, so therefore I am going to be watching it from the POV that it is part of the “WWE Universe.”

And some just can't get past the series' name.
The Big Show Show is my favorite show because it’s a big show and I’ll show you why the show is so big. You se the Big Show is big and he has a new big show called the Big Show Show and it’s a show about the Big Show and his big family.

Is it the Big Show, the Big Big Show, the Big Big Show Show or the Big Show Show?
— Whatever. (@Spoilex16) April 9, 2020
Still willing to give it a shot? The Big Big Show is streaming now on Netflix.
