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?
Love this show. If they are going to end the series please tie up some loose ends .
Drop Dead Diva was the best show ever. Why was it cancelled? I really hope there will be another Season because I really miss it. Excellent show.
LOVE THIS SHOW LOOK FORWARD TO IT EACH WEEK.
HOPE WHAT I HEARD THIS UNCANCELLED IS TRUE:)
Yeah, thank you Lifetime for renewing Drop Dead Diva!!!! Can’t wait for season 5
This was a great show. I don’t understand why popular shows get cancelled. The show made me laugh. It was just as good if not better than any daytime soap opera
Why is it every show I like gets canceled? Am I that weirded or that discerning?
So sad that Drop Dead Diva was cancelled. I thought it was entertaining. Tell me why Honey Boo Boo has not been cancelled but Drop Dead Diva was?????
Ah yeah, tell me why as well.
I loved this series. Made me laugh. Always looking forward to next show. I am sad that it cancelled. No fair!!!
I love this series, here I am left hanging. Bring back Drop Dead Diva
It was a corky show but I loved it!! I am sad it got cancelled. I ve been looking forward to the new season all this while and it’s just sad there s no continuation. .. I loved Jane s fashion, her wit, and the face that she’s so personable, caring , yet determined and strong.
That is not fair!!!! They left it hanging at the end with too many unanswered questions! How can we get them to bring it back. This show is too good to have stopped there. I want to know what happens with the real Jane in Owen’s Body. How could they do that to all the fans?
I LOVE THIS SHOW.PLEASE DO NOT CANCEL IT . IT IS VERY FUNNY AND FAMILY CAN WATCH.
They should not cancel this show. have been a fan since the first episode. didn’t really give an ending to the show. don’t follow all the other networks in cancelling good shows
I can’t believe the show is cancelled! The last season ended with a huge cliff hanger! I’ve been looking forward to June all winter, and now I’m disappointed the show won’t be resolved.
is is soo sad that this show has been taken off the air it always helped people to feel good about their selfs i looked foward to it every year their is so much bad t.v. what is wrong about a hard working woman who is smart and pretty and does not fit the mold of the american beauty bo bo put it back on
