  • Fashion-conscious Deb gets into an accident at the same time Jane, a brainiac lawyer, is shot defending her boss. Thinking there's been a mistake, Deb hits a button that sends her back to Earth...right into Jane's overweight body.moreless

    OK, I'll be honest. When I first saw the promos for this show, my first thought was that it was going to be about some completely shallow girl bumbling her way through being a lawyer. But the premise sounded interesting and unique, so come the series premiere, I gave it a shot. And I'm really glad I did!

    Although Deb is somewhat shallow, she's not a complete ditz. In fact, as the show goes on, audiences are learning more and more about how Deb is also selfless and caring, and how she can actually come up with great ideas, even without Jane's genius-level IQ. I also like that she's getting to see what it's like to be without her model good looks. That's not to say that Jane is ugly, but let's face it, most overweight women aren't exactly fending off potential dates with a stick (I should know).

    Brooke Elliot really shines as Jane/Deb-in-Jane's-body, totally pulling off the whole two-characters-in-one, from the way she blinked her eyes in hot-girl disbelief to the tone in her voice when she declared, "This doesn't work for me." I'd really be surprised if Ms. Elliot doesn't win an Emmy, since she has the two characters down *pat*. The supporting characters also come through, including Teri, Jane's sarcastic-yet-supportive assistant, and Fred, Deb's naive guardian angel. Grayson, Deb's ex and Jane's new coworker, seems to have an innate ability to see the good in people (case in point: he was able to look past Deb's shallow exterior to her caring and selfless nature), and I like how Kim isn't your stereotypical b**** coworker who will take any chance she has to undermine you. Instead, she can, at times, be a genuinly nice person, and will *occasionally* apologize for any wrongdoing. In fact, the only stereotypes on the show are Parker, Jane's spotlight-loving boss, and Stacy, Deb's BFF, but even then, Stacy, like Deb, has shown she's not quite as shallow and ditzy as she seems. Case in point, she not only accepts that Deb is now in Jane's body, but treats Jane exactly as she would treat Deb (well, for the most part).

    Overall, I give the show nine stiletto heels out of ten. :Dmoreless

    when i first saw the previews for this show, i was like wow this is going to be very stupid. no point in watching it. that night i was staying over at my barn in my trainers apartment and we were like "of fine, we'll give it a shot". turns out it was very good.

    the whole story line is good. the first episode where they change bodies and all that was very confusing but once you watch it enough, you get addicted!! i watch it every time its on now!! you think deb is a selfish person when you start but as you watch her go through her new life, you realize well maybe this whole change was good for her. over all, its a very good show and i would recomend lots of people to watch it.moreless

  • What a nice surprise! Just as other viewers have confessed, I was not going to watch this show, because I thought the previews looked silly. I am so glad I tuned in....moreless

    It is my new life's goal to get everyone to start watching this show! I think it's that good. If you can get beyound the initial confusing about how Jane becomes Deb or Deb becomes Jane, you can sink your teeth into some fantastic writing. The show is witty, deep and at times will make you cry. I'm on the edge of my seat wondering how Jane will let Grayson know that she is his lost Deb. But will Grayson fall for Jane just because she's so adorable and smart in her own right? Tune it to find out. I thought the episode about the weight issue was a good one....all women who dislike themselves because of an extra pound or two, should see that show. I'm hooked.moreless

    I love Drop Dead Diva!!! It's funny but not in a corny way. I feel like i can relate to the characters well. The show is refreshing. I saw a commercial for the second season and taught it looked like a good show but I wanted to see the first season before it came on at the time i had about a week to watch before season one. I love the show so much I watched the whole season in one day. I just couldn't stop. I showed my friends and my mom the show and we all love it. We like to watch it every Sunday together! Hope there are many seasons to come!!!moreless

    Squeeeee! I absolutely love this show, and my husband and parents do also. It's a wonderful take on the age old tale of "Soulmates were separated, and now they struggle to connect with each other again." I love how it is also one of the very few shows out there that say "Hey big women can be beautiful and have fashion too." The whole series so far has be a wonderful mix of romance, drama, and comedy. I find myself laughing on many occasions. The actors were well casted, and are portraying their characters wonderfully. Can't wait more episodes!!!moreless
