Deb is a shallow model with lawyer boyfriend Grayson Kent (Jackson Hurst). On the way to a Price is Right audition, she gets killed in a car accident. She goes to be judged by angel Fred (Ben Feldman). Fred is surprised that she has done no good deeds or bad deeds. She is so shallow that she has made no impact. Even more shocking, she pushes the return button. Her soul returns to earth into Jane Bingum (Brooke Elliott) who was shoot in her office. Jane was a workaholic disheveled lawyer. Now Deb has to live in chubby Jane's body with Jane's knowledge and Deb's memories. Fred is sent to earth to watch over Deb/Jane. She tells Deb's best friend Stacy Barrett (April Bowlby). Teri Lee (Margaret Cho) is Jane's assistant. Kim Kaswell (Kate Levering) is Jane's competitive coworker and Jay Parker (Josh Stamberg) is the boss. In the third season, Deb/Jane falls for lawyer Owen French (Lex Medlin). In addition to dealing with the new body, Deb/Jane is soon joined by Grayson at the law firm.This show starts off well with the nice mix of characters and the body image conflict. Brooke Elliott is a sassy lead and April Bowlby is loads of fun. Kate Levering is a solid villain/friend. It's a shame that Jane loses angel Fred after 3 seasons. Ben Feldman adds an endearing touch. Oddly enough, Margaret Cho is probably the least fun character in the show despite being the most obvious comedian in the group. The show lost me a little when it tried its hand in song and dance. I don't know where the idea of dancing lawyers came from. Also some of the stunt casting like the Kim Kardashian doesn't sit well with me. Despite the missteps, the likable cast keeps this a nice watch.

They took a good show and murdered it. I was particularly disappointed that Jane did not do the singing in the last show!!!!! The story line became so stupid it was beyond fantasy. It should have ended with the wedding and if they wanted it to end with the babies, how about showing some newborns and the cast gathered around the mom. If that put too much focus on Stacy, then have Jane hold one kid and say the things they said going into her house. They could talk about their own kids while holding the new baby. I was all a big mes. At least they found someone for Kim at the end. I kept thinking of the show when it started. It was really good. I enjoyed the singing when Jane would sing like a regular person not in a dream. Why did they stop her from singing? The first three seasons were the best.

Through Season Four I liked this show. Okay, I only ever half-watched it, because I work from home and like/need to have a 'distraction' for part of my brain in order to be able to focus on my own writing work (books) and also my programming work (software apps). Strange but true. However, just before Season Five arrived on Netflix I had sold my last startup and was basically just 'cruising along' trying out new programming languages and finishing final revisions for my latest book (I write my books under a nom de plume though I post HERE under my real name, just fyi.) So for Season Five, I actually leaned back in my recliner and decided to really enjoy the show. Alas! That was not possible, because the homosexual writers' agenda kicked in full force for this season. As a long time California resident (though I managed to escape that insanity ten years ago), I am fully aware that there IS a homosexual agenda, particularly in the entertainment field. Many of the writers are homosexuals and finally they believe that mainstream Americans have 'accepted' their lifestyle choice as 'normal'. Well, they are wrong. We do not, and as the millennials mature, neither will they. I can write a dissertation on that, but maybe I'll just go all controversial and finally write that book under my real name. After all, I don't care if I get ostracized by a few (or many). I care about being authentic. But here's the mini version: The homosexual agenda is to have it seem like anyone can raise a kid and that children do not need to be raised by TWO people (a married man/woman couple), but that any woman can have a baby with or without the benefit of a loving relationship with a father for the baby in the picture for the long-haul. That leads right into what they want: anyone can have a baby, in any way they want, via baster or via sexual intercourse between a man and a woman who love, and are committed, to each other... or via a woman giving birth to a homosexual male's baby so he and his 'lover' can raise it together. This is an immature "I want it all" self-indulgent belief system and one that many homosexuals espouse. So I do need to write this book, and go headlong up against current psychiatrist baloney. But I'm willing to do that. As for THIS show it went from semi-SciFi to verging on deviant porn, and I'm no longer interested in watching another episode. Season Five really reinforces the truth about actors... they are only parrots after all.
