Brooke Elliot, you rock! Please put her back on...I am a great fan of "Drop Dead Diva". By far, this is the best show on LT TV. I cannot wait for the next season to come...I hope Tony and Jane get together, I want them to get married...Jane deserves the best man ever, and I think Tony will do...And what's up with the guy who showed up at her door claiming to be her husband on the final episode? Please get ride of him quick...I hope that never affects her relationship with Tony...I love this woman...She is so beautiful and funny...It is the most entertaining show ever...I love Brooke, but I know she cannot pull it off without the rest of the crew...Overall, everyone on that show is outstanding...they all play their role so well, they make it so lively...They are all good...More power to the writer, editor, and producer of the show...Good Job! and keep up the good work...look forward to the next season to come! Yup, no pressure there, haha!

Your show inspires the Ladies at my Office! You're the first real size woman with a leading role that isn't the butt of negative jokes. Now we can see how beautiful a woman can be in any size. I finally see the woman in the mirror and she's looking good. You go girl!

Hey Brooke! I just wanted to tell you how much I love your show. I can't wait to follow your career..........which will without a doubt be huge! Your acting amazes me. You have the most unique facial expressions that convey so much emotion without even saying one word. And don't get me started on your voice. That scene at the dinenr table with you using your knife as a mic was so beautiful. I hope this isn't too stalkerish *smile*, but I will definitely be watching everything you are a part of on the small and big screen! Best wishes!

Brook you are an amazing actress! You bring so much life to your characterS. I love your sense of humor. Your ability to play two different people and keep them in check all while making is seem so real is amazing! I often don't watch sit-coms now-a-days because the acting isn't all that...but you, you're great! Keep up the great job because I want to see more!!!
