Cason Harris I think that FX is doing a fine job by bringing this type of show to the airwaves. Of course, the writing is edgy, different, and awkward--however you want to put it-- just plain good. Just because the premise is hard to digest for our more conservative viewers doesn't make it a bad thing. I liken the show to Will and Grace. That show, as bad as it was, ran entirely on the premise of gay jokes. In fact, when was it acceptable for gay jokes to become funny by the mainstream? I am sure that homosexuals were upset about the portrayals of gay characters at first, but if I'm not mistaken, they have won prestige, awards, and applause from the gay community. Starved, I believe will follow the same pattern. Yes, the show makes light of eating disorders but it will also bring light to a problem that is rampant. Will and Grace helped open up conversation and made it all right to be openly gay and Starved will make it okay to talk about Eating Disorders.

FatUglyOldTROLLofaBEAST what i find peculiar is in a world where "reality" TV prevails these people are worried about a show that portrays how we are all subjected to the pressure to look beautiful and if we don't fit the mold we are considered outcasts. i like the show for moments like when Dan (who is ashamed of his overeating and probably weighs 300 pounds) calls Sam and gets marriage advice and Sam tells him he is the luckiest guy in the world. and even though it is supposed to be a comedy it gives some glimpse into what its like to live with an eating disorder........ surviving day to day. i think it also shows how people with any addiction will stick together to keep each other in check so, to those people who are offended by the show, maybe you should look at other things to be offended by (may i suggest "fear factor" or "so you think you can dance" or "dancing with the stars") because i find those shows have much less entertainment value than "starved"

jollieewok Let me first start off by saying that I don't get offended by much. I try to keep an open mind. And I don't think that this show is as offensive as it is totally disgusting. It also lacks in humor. What I can't understand is that an entire show is dedicated to eating disorders. Week after week, eating disorders. How in the world is that funny or entertaining week after week? The cop that abuses his power to take food from retailers so that he can binge and purge is at the highlight of this ridiculous show. How is watching someone use a police baton to force food to come up funny? It's disturbing and I truly hope that this show crashes and burns.

pchippers Anorexia and the other diseases covered on the show are an illness. Sometimes a life threatening illness. Ask the family members of those who have died of 'eating disorder' how funny it is to watch someone they love slowly wither away while not eating.This is on par of someone making "The Killing Fields' into a musical comedy. If anything it should be baned or boycotted by the viewers. The fact the men discuss their sexuality is just another bad joke in bad taste by a bad writer. This show is wrong and it not funny. What next 'I dying of (fill in blank).I am far more disgusted than I am amused. People who have an eating disorder could be watching the show and honestly be hurt by the show and hurt themselves further. The show even gives triggers to those with eating disorders. Again this show is an disgusting and crude.
