Editorial Review:
In "Flavor of Love," 20 single women from all walks of life, selected for their expressed love for Flav, move into a "phat crib" in Los Angeles and vie for his affection. With help and advice from Big Rick, Flav's gigantic body-guard and chauffeur, Flavor Flav will date all of the women, weed out the ones who are only after his fame and fortune...and in the end will choose his one true love.
Description of Flavor of Love - The Complete First Season:
At their peak in the late-1980s, who could've predicted that Public Enemy's hype man would become one of reality TV's biggest stars? For William Drayton Jr., AKA Flavor Flav, the journey began with VH1's The Surreal Life 3, which spawned Strange Love (co-starring the inimitable Brigitte Nielsen), culminating in Flavor of Love, a down and dirty version of ABC's soft-focus Bachelor. Instead of a tall, bland hunk, the prize is a diminutive 46-year-old with a unique vocabulary ("Yeah, Boyeee!"), an unusual dress sense (Viking helmets, sci-fi sunglasses, wall clock necklaces), and his own "Body Man," Big Rick. Over the course of this 10-part series, 20 women compete to become Flav's lady love. Seeing as the show is made for cable--and that this is the unrated edition--that means risqué language and revealing outfits are fair game (there's even a little Girls Gone Wild nudity from a few Flavorettes). Because Flav isn't good with names, he doles out some easy-to-remember handles. There's the moody Rain, sensitive Smiley, catty New York, etc. In each episode (except for the recap), he eliminates one to five contestants. Those left standing "know what time it is." Challenges include hot tub-speed dating, a fried chicken cook-off, and Vegas-style roulette. A cross between Jerry Springer and a rap video, the "celebreality" extravaganza is an explosion of hair extensions and false eyelashes set to a soundtrack of screaming and crying. Nonetheless, Flavor of Love pulled in the punters--the finale was the highest rated program in the network's history--and was renewed for a second go-round, indicating that America was "feeling" the Flav...and that the winner split the crib. Guests include Nielsen and Flav's Church-going mom, Anna. --Kathleen C. Fennessy
Flavor of Love - The Complete First Season Reviews:
A guilty pleasure... 
2009-07-24 - Maybe you haven't heard of Flavor Flav, but you've undoubtedly heard of his show "Flavor of Love"- especially if you are a reality show fan. This set collects all of the episodes of the first season of "Flavor of Love".
You get to watch every moment as you watch several women (some of which are downright stupid) compete for the chance to win Flav's heart. You will probably spend at least half of the time wondering why they'd want to do that, but then that's half the fun.
Watching this set is a guilty pleasure. It's not the deepest watching in the world, but you will be entertained. Even if you aren't a fan of reality tv, some of the moments on this show will cause you to laugh, especially the cooking contest where one contestant serves up a dish that is inedible to the point where a dog wouldn't eat it!
Kinda, sorta uncut-title misleading
2008-12-24 - Ok, this is it!
The VH-1 show that has started a long line of dating shows on the network.
I did not know who Flav was until the 3rd season of "The Surreal Life".
I got into watching the show when it went into repeats.
My favorite of the woman were Nicole (Hoopz), Courtney (Goldie), Brooke (Pumkin) & Tiffany (New York).
I was looking forward to buying this DVD. I did want the series & ESPECIALLY UNCUT.
Well, it is only PARTIALLY UNCUT.
You will be disappointed, like I was when it claims to be uncut when it is still cut.
You get the language, what everyone actually said but scene are cut, things covered up like some of the ladies with clothes of, etc.
Uncut is NOT true, ONLY PARTIALLY TRUE.
Oh, disc 1 YOU HAVE TO SIT THROUGH OR FAST FORWARD OVER 2 PROMOS FOR OTHERS SHOWS. Did NOT need that.
Only giving 4 stars because of what I said above-NOT TRULY UNCUT.
Yeah Boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooy 
2008-05-16 - This was freakin funny this show was really great, great drama/romance/and hilarious comedy. I have this and the 2season and there both evenly matched both hilarious and crazy, so this was great i watch this over and over cause its so funny great show oh and this is slightly uncensored so theres some nudity whitch is great funny show.
Yeah BOY!! I'm glad I purchased Flavor of Love
2008-04-27 - The item shipped fast. I am currently in Africa and it took this item 7 days to get in my hands from the day it was shipped. If you don't know how mail works internationally...it sucks. Mail can take months sometimes to get to you from the states. Flavor of Love was great to see the first time and even better to see with all the bonus features.
This show is hilarious
2008-03-26 - It's about 20 something chicks who are attractive fighting over a rich ugly old man.
Man I guess money helps ugly people score attractive people better than beer does!
This show is good for belly laughs it's funny how all these women fight and bicker over Flave!
I doubt they would give him the time of day if he wasn't rich and famous!
All those chicks saying Flavor Flave is worth the ticket price! Those gals are some pretty convincing actresses and Flave just wants some pretty young thing on his arm.
He's as old as my dad.
Yeah Flave is lavishing these girls with his outrageous wealth in hopes of finding one that is feelin' him. Man that is too funny feelin' flave more like feelin' his money! Yes and I love his viking hat and oversized clock pendant. He bestows upon ladies who he likes or keeps the ratings skyrocketing which was the case for psycho miss New York! The tension between New York and Pumpkin is the most memorable scene in this season and rather ugly too I might add.
This show is good if you want cheap drama and tension that so defines reality TV.
It's a staged romantic premise with goregous chicks fighting over a rich but unattractive man.
Don't expect sophistication that is Romeo and Juliet or heartfelt sentiment that is Titantic it's a comedic dating show/reality TV so enjoy the ride!
