TV show description:
As the series begins, a vapid blonde aspiring model named Deb Dobson (Brooke D’Orsay) is killed in a car crash. As her soul enters the gates of Heaven, she finds herself declared a self-centered “zero” by the gatekeeper, Fred (Ben Feldman). Not liking what she’s heard, she presses return, hoping to get back to Earth. Deb gets her wish but doesn’t end up in her own body. Instead, she finds herself deposited inside recently-deceased Jane Bingum (Brooke Elliott). Jane’s a highly-intelligent, plus-size attorney who was accidentally shot. Superficial Deb is initially horrified by her new form but in time begins to discover the meaning of inner beauty.
Though she has Jane’s form and legal knowledge, Deb doesn’t have Jane’s memories, making for some very uncomfortable situations. Things are made even tougher by the fact that Deb’s boyfriend, Grayson Kent (Jackson Hurst), works at the same law firm. She’d love to pick up their relationship but he’s still grieving for her former self. Hot-shot lawyer Kim Kasswell (Kate Levering) has always looked down on Jane because of her appearance and wants to start a relationship with Grayson now that Deb is “gone.”
Teri Lee (Margaret Cho) is Jane’s office assistant who tries to help her boss overcome her confusion. After sending Deb back to Earth, Fred is demoted to be her guardian angel and works in the firm’s mailroom to keep an eye on her. He ends up falling for aspiring actress/model Stacy Barnett (April Bowlby), Deb’s best friend and the only person to know the truth about Jane.
Episode #78 — It Had to Be You
While Owen and Kim attempt to talk some sense into Jane about her relationship with Ian, Stacy is caught in the middle. Meanwhile, Teri has her own grievances with Ian when she realizes he is her former classmate responsible for ruining her chances at stardom. Owen and Jane find themselves on opposite ends of a case while Kim represents her former temp when he’s fired from his temp agency.
First aired: JUne 22, 2014.
What do you think? Do you still like the Drop Dead Diva TV series? Do you think that it should end?
This was a Great show and it is too bad it is not on now. If they could make a new show with the same characters in it, I would watch it. Peace, Marc
I really liked the series I wished it was still on.And wished you would make more of them I love it
Good show. Would like to see it comeback!
I would love
To see the return of this show!
I wish the show would come back on. I loved it and wish TV would put more show like it on
I was very saddened when the show ended. I truely enjoyed watching the show.
I love the show, is complete one with great court situations, amazing but few musicals (I will like more) and comedy. I hate the violent bloody shows. Very disappointed it was cancelled. I hope somebody comes to their senses and pick up this show.
i loved the show! the last show was a lousy ending. do fans the courtesy of a “real” ending.
I sat down one night scoping out Netflix and came across drop dead diva. My sis and I started watching it and got hooked. It was a full on marathon, we watched all of the shows from beginning to end. We still will occasionally say I miss Stacy or Jane. We absolutely loved this show!!! We were very disappointed it was canceled. We were also disappointed with the loss of Greyson and his replacement. And we have ere thrilled to see Fred again! We loved the Fred/Stacy relationship. This was a great show and Jane was our hero.

I love Drop Dead Diva. If it is canceled I will miss Jane & the rest of the cast. Jane is great in court as well in her private life. I know it is fiction, but it is much enjoyed. Do not cancel.
I looked forward to Diva All week. I like to imagine she and Grayson found a forever together. Now all the stars on TV are just skinny and beautiful. The one huge lady in the other sitcom is not at all classy or someone I want to admire. So we are robbed of the Deva and a piece of the dream. I really did take Lifetime out of my favorite channels. It is no longer delightful…just sleazy with reality shows and fake crappola.
I loved this and watched it in new Zealand online because they stopped airing it. It’s light hearted and funny. It makes a change from the heavy serious programs.
Please bring it back again! It’s awesome. It has twists and I certainly got sucked into their world
