'Drop Dead Diva' renewed!
added by newsBotLifetime has renewed Drop Dead Diva for a 13-episode second season, after the show — about dead aspiring model Deb's soul living life in the body of brilliant plus-sized attorney Jane (Brooke Elliott) — hit ratings highs with last Sunday's sixth episode. I consider myself a huge fan for two reasons: 1) When Lifetime sent me episodes four through eight, I watched them in one sitting. (2) At the end of the episode 6, when Stacy (April Bowlby) kissed Jane's lovestruck, new-to-Earth guardian angel Fred (Ben Feldman), and Grayson (Jackson Hurst), Deb's ex-boyfriend who now works with Jane, joined her for dinner and said they could maybe finish a crossword puzzle together afterward, I applauded. In fact, I just rewatched the end of the episode on Lifetime's site and clapped again. If you've got time and are in need of some more summer entertainment, I highly recommend checking out the show Sundays at 9 p.m. »
