Can i say that i absolutely love this show. If you guys are ever tired of watching heavy shows with zombies, vampires,stalkers and everything, this show is for you. This is a show that in one sitting you will watch it. It is a really loveable, comfy, hilarious show, i honestly don't have the words to describe how good and amusing it is. This show follows the life of a model named Deb who gets into a car crash and suddenly she wakes up into an another body, in details in a body of an overweight, very intelligent lawyer who basically changes everything about how Deb sees. I like Deb, but i love her so much more in Jane's body, there is something so loveable, comfy in Jane that we just can't help and love her more and as well as her crazy assistant Teri. The characters are awesome, everyone unique in their own way, the cast is spot on, the plot, world building, i loved it, that is all i've got to say. Oooh and i also think that Jane dresses better than any model out there, there are many top fashion advices in this show also which it makes better than watching some serious fashion show, just saying. I definitely recommend this to everyone, give it a try guys, i promise it is not some dumb show that will disappoint you, it is really great and with some really talented actors.

UNFORTUNATELY - Although I think the show is well produced, had a good plot, and has much potential - The show isn't worth the "heart-ripping" emotional drama they put you through. It's like watching a drama movie and a loved one is dismembered yet they give ZERO satisfaction to the audience when they build you up to: hope, believe, root for the under-dog, have faith in the overcoming spirit of love - all things common in the threads of American TV and cinema. It is against the spirit of love, the spirit of overcoming, the spirit of hope, the under-dog, and more. The emotional turmoil is SO great (without satisfaction/resolve) that (funny enough considering) I believe I could file a real life suit on the show for "intentional affliction of emotional harm" (something mentioned in the show multiple times). With the point of the suit being: What they use to hook you into watching and continue watching the show IS SIMILAR to how other TV shows, movie trailers, movies, etc do it - HOWEVER - the lack of emotional satisfaction of the EXTREME emotional expectations (based on typical cinema and TV) you are lead to have based on this show - over 5 seasons has lead me to believe, disappointedly, that the producers are emotional masochists. Their desire is produce pain in the viewer vs satisfaction or entertainment. Viewers beware.

Love this show. Funny and very clever. Brooke Elliott is so talented. Its also interesting that every episode has its own legal stories!! In addition full cast is talented too with every character being unique played by the actors. Love this show. Funny and very clever. Brooke Elliott is so talented.

Someone heard the old line about a thin woman trapped in a fat woman's body and took it literally. In "Drop Dead Diva," a Lifetime series that begins on Sunday, an aspiring model and airhead named Deb (Brooke D'Orsay) dies in a car crash and is transported — through a bungled act of divine intervention — to the body of a recently deceased lawyer, Jane (Brooke Elliott), who is smart, fat and frumpy. The trading-places formula is put to use here in a weight-conscious comedy, a "Freaky Friday" mind-body exchange that measures the eternal contest between brains and beauty by the pound.Deb, trapped in a Lane Bryant physique, doesn't lose her own shallow, bubbly personality. When Deb awakens in a hospital bed and discovers that her once-taut stomach is now a pillowy protrusion of flab, she shrieks at her guardian angel, "You sent me to hell?" But she also assumes Jane's high-powered brain and legal expertise. Deb discovers that while she now craves donuts and cheese dip, her mind also savors a complicated and compelling legal case. Basically she thinks like Elle in "Legally Blonde," only she looks like Camryn Manheim on "The Practice."And while the presumption that a woman can be either brainy or beautiful, or in this case, good or thin, but not both, is a bit primitive, the series has humor and charm beneath its facile message, in large part (no disrespect intended) to a subtle, winning performance by Ms. Elliott.It's gotten harder than ever to find an imperfect heroine in a series who is actually flawed. More than ever these days, television suffers from casting dysmorphia; it repeatedly takes a slovenly, gluttonous, character and casts an exquisitely groomed, Pilates-toned actress in the part.One of the running jokes of both "30 Rock" and "The New Adventures of Old Christine" is that the characters played by Tina Fey and Julia Louis-Dreyfus are disarmingly sloppy, out of shape and addicted to junk food — and wine, in the case of Ms. Louis-Dreyfus. It's a strain when both actresses are so petite, pretty and fit.Debra Messing may have started the trompe l'oeil trend in "Will & Grace," since she too was a whippet-thin actress playing a slovenly overeater. But the hypocrisy grows ever more insulting — a cognitive diss. Even TNT, which takes pride in badly behaved heroines — a slatternly sot on "Saving Grace," a sweetsaholic on "The Closer" — assigns those roles to improbably slender, well-preserved actresses like Holly Hunter and Kyra Sedgwick.And when a comedy does feature a female lead who is not conventionally pretty, that becomes the raison d'être of the series, as in "Ugly Betty."
