Show Rec. - Drop Dead Diva

Drop Dead Diva is an American comedy-drama/fantasy television series that debuted on Lifetime on July 12, 2009.

The series revolves around vapid blonde and aspiring model, Deb Dobkins (played by Brooke D'Orsay in the pilot and in flashbacks), who is killed in a car crash. As her soul enters the gates of Heaven, she finds herself declared a self-centered "zero" (meaning she has performed zero good deeds and zero bad deeds during her time on earth; she is simply shallow) by the gatekeeper Fred. After not liking what she hears, she presses for a return to her former body, hoping to get back to Earth. Deb gets her wish, only to be brought back to life in the body of a recently deceased, intelligent, overweight lawyer named Jane Bingum.

This show needs a lot more love. Seriously. It's a mix of Ally McBeal and Dead Like Me. Characters are awesome, fun and the way Brooke Elliott portrays Jane!Deb is simply amazing. I'm enjoying it and it's definitely one of the good ones for summer. Highly recommended.

But now I have to go and watch Friends with my brother. The complete series DVD box arrived today so we are determined to watch those episode for the 958694548th time, but with commentary :D ♥

I FRICKIN' LOVE FRIENDS!! I'm sure you've seen my tweets about it. :). I never watched it when it was popular. In the last couple months, I've been catching reruns they air on the CW at 10. I wish I had friends like Chandler and Joey. They are hilarious.
