Network: Sony/Crackle.com
Starring: Dave Faustino, Corin Nemec, Selene Luna, Jack Axelrod, Coolio

Having been screwed out of “Married ... with Children” residuals by his convalescent manager, David “Bud Bundy” Faustino is now a pathetic, washed-up porn store proprietor. Star-ving follows his attempt at regaining stardom. Bringing along his old buddy, Corin Nemec (“Parker Lewis Can’t Lose”), Faustino gets attacked by an angry black mob, reunites with his “Married ... with Children” cast members, kidnaps Alan Thicke, steals money from Coolio, and kills Gilbert Gottfried’s 34-year-old mentally challenged son - all to get back into the Hollywood game.

Review

Totally Biased Fan Review:

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 Chappelle's Show went off the air. 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 (Starving... Literally).

There are twelve 6-10 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.

The Good:

Its all good. Writing, directing, acting... even the music is first rate.

The Bad:

I wish the episodes were longer and there were more of them. Can't get enough of this show.

The Ugly:

If you lackadaisical people who are reading this don't get busy buying some DVDs we might not get a second season!

Recommendation:

But the DVD NOW! Buy as many as you can afford and give them to friends (Xmas is rapidly approaching). Blog, twitter etc. Do SOMETHING to support this show.
