Drop Dead Diva

If you haven't checked out this beauty of a show, get on it! Perhaps the idea of the show isn't completely original (there is some reminder of the Chris Rock movie, "Down to Earth"), but it is mighty refreshing considering all of the other law shows out there.

Jane is an outstanding lawyer that does ample amounts of pro bono work and volunteering. Deb is a shallow want-to-be Price Is Right girl. They both die at the same time and wa-bam! Deb is put back into Jane's body. Along with Jane's full figure, Deb inherits her wit and law knowledge. Stacy is Deb's model (trying to be actress) friend that creates humor where needed! She is probably the best part of this show!

I can't help but mention that this is becoming my roommate's and my own guilty pleasure. We savor Stacy's remarks on how to be more beautiful. As she says, the four steps are diet, exercise, pluck, polish. Besides hanging on to every clever saying that these fab ladies have to offer, we can to watch a newly empowered woman to realize that life isn't merely about good looks, but that every woman has something to offer. Deb/Jane provides viewers with the ability to look at themselves and realize that perhaps all we need is a really great mind and we can totally own Manhattan. Okay, well maybe that's not all we need. But we do get to glimpse into the life of someone who may not at first seem to live a glamorous life. Her life is glamorous but in a completely different way than the way the world says that glamor is. She is full of a giving spirit and putting others first. This is why she is fab.

Tonight's episode was especially great because we get to see some of Stacy's flaws. At first, she is afraid to go to an audition because she's not sure if she can make the transition from model to actress. So, she gets an opportunity to try out her acting skills! Whoop! And there she helps to provide evidence to Jane/Deb's case and totally rock the show.

Bummer. Grayson, Deb's former boyfriend, starts a new relationship with a woman at the firm named Kim. Of course, we're not great fans of Kim. She's often conniving and wants for Jane to fail. Boo. This episode should create some great new drama that I'm sure the writers are thoroughly enjoying. Who wouldn't want to see how human kind changes just weeks after the death of a beautiful girlfriend? Anyways, Grayson is making new leaps and bounds at the firm and is growing in his position as a lawyer.

That about wraps it up. The roommate and myself really enjoy this show. It's funny and refreshing!
