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.

Like ways to respect others , and not to judge others by how they look , as its what’s inside that counts . to many people, judge others by looks , build . this is better than any reality show !
Keep the show! It’s truly an enjoyable comedy, not a stupid reality show.

Agree with Chris H , every show I like you cancelled , 666 avenue
Drop dead diva , have you thought about ppl work or go to school ( college) and they probably watch this programs on marathons.
DO NOT END DROP DEAD DIVA! The last season left us hanging, so we need you to at least wrap up the story lines on the show before you cancel it. I would prefer it to go on though, it is a fun show!
I agree with travel lady, keep Drop Dead Diva on, drop all those stupid, stupid reality shows, I am 61 and it seems every time I like a show, you all end up cancelling it. Come on people gives us older people a break, please.
Keep “Drop Dead Diva” on, I’ve been watching since episode one back in 2009. Makes me laugh and I Want it back.
Keep drop dead diva.
Drop Dead Diva is one of the best shows on TV. If you want to drop something, drop the stupid reality shows. Don’t Drop the Diva!!!
I Love Drop Dead Diva!! Keep it going it’s a great fun show. I love the cases and Janes clients. Don’t Drop the Diva!
I am heartbroken that Drop Dead Diva is ending. I feel happy every time an episode shows up on my DVR, and sad every time the season is over. The law stories are interesting and educational and the cast is great. Brooke Elliott is so talented. She plays both Jane and Deb/Jane very well in both comedy and drama. She can sing and dance like a star! The show is well written and good-hearted.
Please, if there’s any chance, bring her back to life!
Love the show. Please do not cancel. Too many story lines left “hanging.”
Love the show. Have been following it from the start. Please don’t cancel it.
