JudyHSep 6, 2009Love the show! Wonderful cast. The continuing character development and the quirky, seemingly unwinnable-yet-won court cases show some great script writing. It's one of two shows I make a point to watch each week. I hope it's on a long time!

ChristinaWAug 18, 2009Brooke Elliott is so talented! I NEVER follow shows (DVD releases always seem more gratifying) but with this one I look forward to Sunday nights all week.

SaraKAug 20, 2009One of the best comedy performances to come along in awhile. Brooke Elliott keeps me coming back for more. It's been a long time since I've been so enthused about a new show. Hope it lasts a long, long time.

KevinMJul 13, 2009I love this show. Its fortunate that FOX passed on the pilot because that network would have been a horrible fit for this little show with big heart. Lifetime made a good move picking this series up and you'll make a good move to by checking it out on Sunday nights.

JeanBJul 24, 2009Brooke Elliott has me watching a TV show other than the news! I enjoy comedy, but this show gives more.

MarionMJul 30, 2009I loved the show. It is refreshing to see large people as more than just slobs, book worms, or the fodder of reality tv.

ErinMJul 30, 2009This show is outstanding! Brooke Elliott is amazing! It has been years since I waited impatiently each week for the next episode of a show. This one has all the potential for a long run on Lifetime.

LeannWAug 10, 2009I love love love this show. Brooke Elliot is the best! Very entertaining to see people's perceptions of stereo-types shared in such a light-hearted message. I look forward to every Sunday.

JaneJAug 16, 2009My husband is even watching this show! I was worried about having to make a choice when Desperate Housewives starts up in the fall....what to tape, what to watch live. No problem now...we'll both be watching Diva live! Yes, it's a silly premise,but the writing and acting is great.

LizzieL.Aug 21, 2009It is an absolute great show...so glad there's something like this to look forward to each week. Yes, it's "fantasy" but done in such an engaging and believable way. Thanks so much Lifetime!

NancyC.Aug 24, 2009If I could give this show higher than 10 I would. It is not only heartwarming but also brings out some incredible law cases. I would love this show to continue. It is so so much better than I could even imagine it to be

EricRAug 25, 2009The show is brilliant. Brooke Elliot is superb in the lead role. I'm not even sure how I stumbled across this show since I don't watch Lifetime but when i saw that Margaret Cho was in the cast, I decided to give it a shot. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

PhilipG.Jul 22, 2009Incredibly refreshing, entertaining and down right funny as hell. Brook Elliott, can't get enough of her and who knew that Margaret Cho could act! Loving it to the point of already watching Pilot several times.

KendaAJul 25, 2009Really brings home a comedy for us big girls. Makes me laugh and I have watched the 2 episodes multiply times. I dont rewatch stuff.

SylviaRJul 27, 2009I don't know about anyone else, but DIVA has the best writing staff I've encountered in years., If people aren't raving about this show, they're too slow-witted to appreciate how slick and clever the underlying exchanges are.

AnnamrieCAug 16, 2009I think the show is extremely entertaining and very well written. I can't wait to watch it every week. It really brings out the stereotypes of what "larger" women are and are not supposed to do in public and what they can and can not get away with (like moving to the front of lines, getting a drink at a bar) - maybe some lessons can be learned here.

SharonHAug 25, 2009Great show and we need more shows like this one with average weight woman I am tired of all the shows with thin ladies.

-
catherinecSep 22, 2009I'm hooked on this show. I am enjoying the good story lines. Missed Fred alot when he wasn't in the episodes. So glad Fred is back. Great acting from April Bowly, Margaret Cho, Brooke Elliott & Ben Feldman. Hope this show stays on the air! Good script writing. I still hope that Grason will fall for Brooke's character.

Awards & Rankings
-
As Deb-inside-Jane, Elliott does a great job portraying pathos, absurd disappointment, and wide-eyed discovery. She’s far more interesting to watch than the other characters.
-
Despite all this talent and potential, stereotypes about body image--fat and skinny--are layered on so thick that it's hard to see this show as changing anyone's minds.
-
Berman produces a deft juggling trick of heart and humor, balancing Deb's shallowness with some solid common sense and Jane's inadequate self-esteem with kindness and legal brilliance.
