  David Faustino and Corin Nemec star in this absolutely hilarious set of episodes that make up the first season of Star-ving. The episodes may be short but make no mistake about it--this is so funny you'll be laughing you're a** off from the very first minute and all the way through! The acting and casting are great; and the episodes are done in such a way that the laughs keep coming so fast so I could never got bored; in fact I wish there was more--much more--material on this disc! It was even great to view it the second time around just after I finished watching it the first time!

  There's a lot of episodes on this DVD; they last anywhere from roughly five minutes to about eight or nine minutes. David Faustino does a great job of acting so well; comedy is truly his calling as he plays an actor whose career is on the skids, to say the least. In addition, Corin Nemec does every bit as well as David's loser, has-been friend with a Hollywood career that's also gone bust. Together David and Corin get themselves into all sorts of troublesome situations that are invariably over the top; and there are plenty of guest star appearances to make things even more interesting. Guest stars include the principle cast of Married With Children; Alan Thicke; Ed Asner; Coolio; Kato Kaelin (yes, that Kato Kaelin); Gilbert Gottfried--and others!

  My favorite episodes are the ones that include cast members of Married With Children; "Straight Outta Compton;" "Starving...Literally;" Going OJ" and "Stealing Alan Thicke." The other episodes are also quite good.

  The bonuses we get are deleted and extended scenes with an optional commentary.

  Overall, Star-ving: The Complete First Season features David Faustino at his usual best and Corin Nemec is great as David's buddy and sidekick. Fans of Married With Children will enjoy this immensely; and people who like good comedy will love this, too. A few of the jokes are crude but actually most of the humor is much better than I expected it to be. I hope a major network picks this up to be a weekly sitcom that can fit into a half-hour time slot; David, Corin and the rest certainly deserve it!

  When I first saw this series on the web it hooked me with its fast-paced, politically incorrect hilarity. David Faustino and Corin Nemec's clever satire of their lives post teen-stardom is probably the funniest series I've seen since Chapelle's Show went off the air. I've already bought multiple copies of the DVD for myself and friends and plan to buy even more as X-mas gifts this year.

  Dave and Corin are joined by a motley crew of guest stars including Dave's Married With Children cast members, Gilbert Gottfried, Coolio, Ed Asner, Alan Thicke and Jeremy Miller of Growing Pains as well as Kato Kaelin ("America's Houseguest") in my favorite episode (Literally... Starving).

  There are twelve 8-10 minute episodes in the series with about half being "pee your pants" funny start-to-finish. The outtakes from the Just One Drink episode alone made the DVD worth buying.

  Fair warning, Star-ving is awesomely crude is guaranteed to offend the churchy, conservative, or racially-sensitive. No topic is sacred as Star-ving pokes fun at Osama Bin Laden, the mentally challenged, hillbilly meth labs and nazi porn movies.

  I bought this on the recomendations of other Amazon customers but could not see what they saw. We are ardent Married with Children fans and have been for years, never tiring of seeing the episodes over and over again. But this leaves me lost for words. My husband gave up after the first three episodes but I struggled on to the end hoping it would get better...it didn't. It isn't expensive so you might consider it worth a look but I would try and borrow /hire a copy first - it really isn't in the same class at all as Married with Children.

  David Faustino and Corin Nemec are brilliant. The acting and writing are completely amazing. The entire show is wild and goes completely over the edge while still remaining a certain charm. The DVD extras are short but worth every penny. I've never laughed so hard in my life.

  The best Adult Comedy Ever. Thank you for this breakout comedy!!!!

  I loved Married with children and thought it was the show to last for ever. When it ended I was very disappointed with fox. Everyone else's careers seemed to do well but never exploited the characters to the extreme Married did. One day I had heard David was a D.J. in L.A. and I wanted to see him spin but lived in San Francisco. I never did, and he seemed to fade away into oblivion... One day I was watching NBC's today show and saw David on their and thought WOW!! Hes back on T.V. finally. Well he barely got to mention Starving on Crackle. So I looked found and was hooked. I think David made the character his own, and in WOW factor.

  Starving is comedy adults have wanted all their life's. No more childish sensors. David is a Charlie Chaplin of his time. How can America let this star who brought us so much laughter and sex appeal fade away. Thank the powers that be for bringing him back. David you have a cult following no doubt. We all want to meet you and have had you in our hearts forever.

  Star-ving is genious. Even better than Married. David, Dont forget us your loyal fans when you get a big hollywood roll or movie. I still want to meet you one day, and thank you for making this life a little easier for all of us. Im buying Star-ving today to support your comic genius and show the networks what a mistake they made in overlooking the talent and all around fun person you are. I encourage everyone to do the same.

  Lets make a statment here and show the networks what we really want and how bad they screwed up. Star-ving in every household!!!!!! -Vinnie

  Ok, these are webisodes of my hero. the fact that these were never aired coupled with the fact they are manufactured on a per-order basis is flipping brilliantly indicative that dave faust. is being screwed by god herself.

  this is bottom-of-the-barrel humor, his last attempt at entertaining us and it is actually pretty darned good YET unheard of.

  I found it by accident and i am telling everyone

  It is the least I can do. He let me take a pic with him in like 1991 at knott's berry farm premiere of a new roller coaster ride. I snuck into the stars only area(fake press credentials) and got the pic(still framed on my mom's piano). later I waited for a ride to end while he made out with some chick on a bench next to me. The closest I have ever been or ever will be to stardom. GO DAVE!

  If you like good, clean fun, this is NOT the show for you. But if you like edgy, dark, dirty, stinky sh&%...this is for you! I watched the entire first season in one night and nearly peed my pants laughing. Watching Ed O'Neill drop the f-bomb, Kato in the dumpster, "we can't have one beer? What kind of p*ssies are we?", German scheize videos, and Corin Nemec. It is SO freaking hilarious what depths David Faustino has sunk to. I'm glad he can laugh at himself, I am laughing with him.
