So Help Me Todd

Love this show so far!!!! It's so cute, a bit dramatic, but perfect this day and age!!! With so many things on tv that are regurgitated, boring and downright awful I'm so glad they made something that's light and cute to watch!!!! We can finally watch something on tv that's not over complicated and completely new.

Seriously if you are looking for something to watch that gives you good feels this is it. Seriously hope they continue to make this cute series. Don't expect anything over stimulating. This is for the people looking for something light and something. Sorry for the over used words but I just wanted to give props to this show!

This show reminds me of any number of shows on the USA Network in the late 90s or early 2000s. The little mysteries are solvable within minutes of the story unfolding and much of what happens in each episode is seriously convoluted and utterly ridiculous. But I can't help watching it and I just love the show. It's really about the cast. Marcia Gay Harden, Skylar Astin, and Madeline Wise perfectly embody their characters and have fantastic chemistry. The supporting cast is also very good. Across the board the actors are all in, embracing the silly, sometimes playing it perfectly straight, and sometimes a little wacky, and it just works! It's fun and silly and quirky and I think it will get better as time goes on and the writers and producers embrace what works and throw out what doesn't. I look forward to watching this each week as a distraction from the real world.

It is a difficult thing to do, a comic drama,but this show manages to do that with finesse and style. Marcia Gay Hardin and Skylar Astin as mother/son collaborators in crime work. I have never seen Marcia Gay do comedy and she does well. Skyler Astin is a hoot and so charismatic. They play off each other so well. The supporting cast all do their jobs well. When I heard that Geena Davis had left the project I was not expecting much as that often sparks trouble, but she is not missed in the show. I love the deadpan sister who appears in the show and the nasty co worker who assigns Skylar's character to a storage room for an office. The comedic aspect of the show is what drives it and makes it different from another procedural. Thursday night is a good spot. One of my favorites this season.

I have loved So Help Me Todd from the 1st episode! It is a great who-done-it. The writers and actors are brilliant! It's definitely something I've been waiting on for a very long time. It's hilarious. It's suspenseful. This quirky family's escapades, drama, and chemistry work perfectly together. I look forward to seeing the next episode week after week. I really wish another network would pick up the show and continue on with my favorite new program. I want to know what will happen with Margaret & Gus. Will Harry be back again? What about Allison & her new interest? Will Todd & Susan ever reconnect? Are Lyle & Alex really over? Lawrence & Chet expanding family? And what will become of the firm? Is Beverly a villain? I dread the thought of this favorite being over already. 🙁

I can't believe they canceled this show. I hope another network picks it up. The characters have great chemistry and the storylines keep you engaged and wanting more. The episodes are both simple and complex with enough seriousness to keep it from being unbelievable, and enough laughter to keep it light hearted and entertaining. It's a show I was comfortable watching with my mother and/or friends. I love the relationship that Todd has his with mother and siblings. I could write so much more but with the show being canceled I am sure this is useless feedback. In any event, I truly hope that another network continues with show as it is truly worth watching while decompressing from daily tasks..
