Do You Think Drop Dead Diva Is A Drop Dead Loser?

I really, really try to give "fat tv" the benefit of the doubt. The Biggest Loser - not for me. Dance Your Ass Off - surprisingly adorable.  Drop Dead Diva? I say drop dead loser.

Sounds harsh, I know.  My biggest point of complaint with the show is that the main character, a size 00 reincarnated as a size 16, is riddled with stereotypes.  Why am I watching Margaret Cho's character squirt Cheese Wiz down her throat as a calming agent "that's better than xanax!"?  Of course her entire office wardrobe consists of black & white Lane Bryant clothing described as "stretchy and comfortable". I haven't even touched on her glee at an entire plate of donuts, a hostile chocolate craving takeover, multiple mentions of hot flashes due to her "metabolism" and her addiction to self help books.

Television has one chance to hook a viewer.  After watching the pilot episode of Drop Dead Diva, I can guarantee I won't be watching again. I don't care if the main character learns to love being a size 16 or stops having hot flashes by lowering her metabolism.  Offending your empathizers isn't any way to build an audience.

I want to know - what did you think of Drop Dead Diva?

No cable right now but I really wanted to see it. I was all in front of the TV that night, too.

The trailer looks good but most do. Was the show much worse than the video?

You'd have to be a moron to watch this crap. I AM SICK AND TIRED OF LIFETIME CREATING CRAP SHOWS LIKE THIS, AND THEN ADVERTISING THEM EVERY OTHER COMMERCIAL, AND THEN LITTER UP THE SCREEN WITH A CONSTANT REMINDER OF THIS STUPID SHIT AT THE BOTTOM RIGHT HAND PORTION OF THE SCREEN, POP UPS WITH THE DIVA IN THE MIDDLE OF YOUR SHOW, AND EVEN TELLING YOU WHEN ITS TIME TO TUNE IN TO THIS SHOW WHILE YOUR WATCHING LIFETIME MOVIE CHANNEL. ID LIKE TO TELL LIFETIME TO QUIT SHOVING THIS SHIT DOWN OUR THROATS!

Recently the Drop Dead Diva begins its story, and I have to say I love this soap opera. It might be another Friends and it is certainly more wonderful than the Prison Break for women. At first I just think, God, if I came to that situation, I would like suicide rather than living in that fat ugly body. At least, Deb is slim, but Jane is huge. I bet that Jane could not even see her feet. But as the story goes, I found that Jane is cuter than Deb. She is helpful and smarter. She knows more than Deb and is more helpful than Deb. If Deb reborn in her own body, she might just become a Price Raising model, but Jane could help so many people out from the trouble.
In my eyes, Deb is the shining rubber wristband, you could wear it to the bar or to the ball. It is sparkling in the dark, but outside of these places, it could be useless. But Jane is the classical silver wristband which you could wear it to anywhere. If she is slim enough, she could go to the bar or disco as Deb. Then this soap play gives us a question, what is more important to a female, the good-looking or the clever mind? Deb and Jane are the two opposite side, one is for the good-looking, and the other is with wisdom. There is no intermediate place. If I just want to be a lucky woman, I would choose the good-looking, with pretty face, you could get more help from the strangers----- it is the result of one research. But if I want to be helpful to others, I would like to be Jane, who is smart and warm-hearted; she does so many volunteer works and helps so many people. What about you? What is your choice?
