Josh Berman: Behind the CSI Effect, Plus-Size Lawyers and Judge Paula Abdul

May 26, 2010 by Bitter Success 6 Comments

Ed. note: If you haven’t heard of the Lifetime television series Drop Dead Diva, you probably assume it’s like every epic Lifetime movie you’ve ever (accidentally) seen: Rambling, sappy and a showcase of predatory men.
