5.0 out of 5 stars finally there's proof that you have to take the bitter with the sour, August 8, 2009

This review is from: Star-ving: The Complete First Season (DVD)

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!

5.0 out of 5 stars not for the faint of heart (or funny bone), August 5, 2009

This review is from: Star-ving: The Complete First Season (DVD)

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars manufactured on demand? he must be cursed!, December 28, 2009

By 

reluctant techie (olympia, wa) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Star-ving: The Complete First Season (DVD)

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!
