Drop Dead Diva Premiere Review
by: Rebekah Miller

The basic premise has been done many times before like in Heaven Can't Wait or Down To Earth, where a person dies and then gets a second chance at life by being put in another persons body. Despite this, the show Drop Dead Diva is delightful and filled with both laughter and tears. A shallow beautiful model, Deb, dies and is accidentally put back on earth in the form of Jane, an overweight smart and thoughtful attorney.

Since it is an hour long show, the death of Deb and Jane could have been postponed for a little longer, rather than taking place within the first ten minutes. The viewer gets to know Deb more than Jane and it would have been nice to establish Jane's former self a little more before Deb takes over her body.

Deb must struggle to adjust to her new body and life while grieving the loss of her past life. Conveniently she gets Jane's brilliant mind along with her body so she does not have to struggle at her job. Brooke Elliot very convincingly plays a ditzy diva in the body of a plus-sized lawyer. She is surrounded by a great cast of actors including Margaret Cho who plays Jane's witty loyal assistant.

Drop Dead Diva does a great job balancing drama and comedy. There is sadness over Deb's loss of her former life and on top of that she must fight through stressful court cases. However, everything is laced with humor like when Deb asks her assistant for lip gloss rather than for the background on a case that she must deal with.

The series confronts body image issues by conveying that self perception and attitude can overcome looks. Drop Dead Diva is an entertaining and cute take on the "it is what's inside that counts" message. It will be great for mothers and daughters to watch together.

This show helps viewers give their favorite treats a healthy makeover while doubbling the flavor and cutting calories.

It is based on the British series and popular cookbook. Culinary experts Harry Eastwood, Allision Fishman and Candice Kumai help guests lose their unwanted inches by replacing their diet plans with clever cooking. Each episode focuses on one guest as she learns how to transform her favorite fattening meals into delicious healthy fare.

The meals get prepared step-by-step as the calorie count is compared to that of the original dish. The guest is sent home with everything necessary to make healthy changes in the kitchen. After six weeks of living the Cook Your Self Thin lifestyle each participant gets a progess check from the hosts.

Christine's twentysomething brother, Matthew, lives with her and serves as Ritchie's sometime babysitter. Christine gets along with her charming ex-husband, Richard, even better than when they were married, but her life got a lot more complicated when she met Richard’s new girlfriend: a nice, young, impossible-to-hate woman also named Christine - the "new" Christine. When it dawns on "old" Christine that Richard is moving on with his life, she decides it's time for her to take that same leap.
