My guess is "the big" at the beginning was some kind of private joke with Webb, because the episode names weren't really known by the public when they were first broadcast. The episode names did become useful after they were syndicated under the "Badge 714" title for identification, and it was then people probably first went wtf??
Ever noticed how the Dragnet episodes all seem to have the word 'BIG' in their titles? Whatever else Webb was, when it came to titling episodes, a genius he was not.
