Big! is a television program series in which an episode consists of a team of engineers manufacturing the world's biggest items (usually a household item that is normally hand carried, scaled up to proportions that make the items unusable without JCBs and cherrypickers) for the sake of setting world records. The devices have to function to qualify. The series originally aired on Discovery Channel in 2004. It is currently airing on The Science Channel weekday mornings.

Reception

The National Post television critic Jason Chow praised the show, calling it "dumb, comical, fun and spectacular all at the same time, which is why viewers will easily find themselves joining in". In a mixed review, Danny Heitman of The Advocate praised the show for employing "the comic premise of its colossal props to good advantage in telling a story" but criticized the show for using "some salty dialogue that makes Big! off-limits to younger viewers".
