Really Big Things

Description: Size matters in this documentary series in which host (and former "American Idol" contestant) Matt Rogers explores such massive man-made marvels as skyscrapers, heavy machinery, the Goodyear Blimp and observatory telescopes. Rogers' hosting style is somewhat comedic, but the situation can be serious at times -- such as when a nearby dumpster truck tips over and cuts restraining wires on a concrete mat. So sit back, turn your brain off for an hour and enjoy watching really big things in action.
