What does everyone think about this new FX show "Starved"? |
|
Is anyone planning to watch it tonight? Apparently people are having hissy fits over it revolving around eating disorders. :shrug:
What do you all think?

1. I haven't been paying attention to the commercial for it. |
|
All I remember seeing was some man eating food out of a garbage can. I've got my own eating problems (overweight). I don't want to watch someone else's eating disorder.

2. Isn't there a discussion board just for this topic? |
|
I know "Fat Actress" caused flame wars that beat the whole DNC versus DLC thing.

3. DU is sooo funny tonight. Or is this a real show? |
|
I can't tell if these topics are parodies or real. Life? Art? Parody? Is this really a real show?

9. It looks like it could be ok, could be stupid. |
|
Billie is a bisexual recovering anorexic/bulimic and an aspiring singer/songwritier. They have a compulsive overeating neurotic commitnent phobic commodities broker, an acitvly bulimic stubborn NYPD cop, an overweight compulsive over eating writer too. A lot of people have problems manifested by food/eating problems, could go either way. Too bad I don't watch FOX or TV sitcoms or even TV. Still sounds like a parody and I will be interested in hearing from others about it.

Do they follow around people with eating disorders?
Yow, what a grim way to spend an evening.
Think I'll just have a slice of pie and a martini, instead.

I guess that's the big todo.....making a sitcom out of a serious disorder. I don't know, but I am intrigued now, so I will watch it. It's on at 10pm on FX. :)

12. Wow. It'll either be absolutely awful... |
|
or completely groundbreaking. Well, I'm in favor of experimentation...

He was just on Tucker's show. He seemed like an interesting guy. I am actually anxious to watch.
