And it is summer, of course, a time in which we all lower our standards considerably when it comes to show quality. But the thing is, I'm not just watching Drop Dead Diva the way I watch The Bachelorette -- mindlessly laughing at how stupid everybody is and just kind of vaguely hating all of them without particularly caring whether they live or die, much less fall in love. No, I'm actually invested in Drop Dead Diva. I care about the characters, like, for real. Last night when Stacy infiltrated that trucking company and helped Jane take down some corrupt assholes I actually yelled "Yay!" in my living room. Fricking yay, I yelled. At Drop Dead Diva. So embarrassing. What is this show doing to me? It's so stupid and should really only be a half hour if anything and I know it, and yet, here I am, totally psyched for it and DVR-ing True Blood so I can watch it in real time, three weeks in a row now. Weird.

So anyway, shamefulness aside, it's time for a Drop Dead Diva pitch and bitch session! First of all, how weird was it that Rosie O'Donnell wasn't even that annoying last night? Very weird! But show, don't make a big ass deal about how you got Margaret Cho to be a regular and then not really use her. She needs more screen time! She's funny! And I'm so proud of Stacy for actually applying herself to something constructive last night, but I'm worried that this looming romantic entanglement with Jane's guardian angel is just going to be a big ole mess when it finally goes down. And while I was very glad hot bitchy lawyer got caught in her lie to Dermot Mulroney guy, they're totally going to start sleeping together eventually and Jane's just going to freak out, which will be sad. But you know what? I may be crazy, but I kind of want Jane and her boss to hook up for some reason, though I know the show wants her to be back with Faux-lroney, which makes sense of course.

And lastly, oh my god, please don't tell anyone I watch this show or care about any of this.
