So Help Me Todd

Well, CBS should be ashamed of themselves for cancelling So Help Me Todd. It's a popular show, as the rating here shows.

It's a fresh take on the crime procedural/whodunit genre. The cast are excellent and the writing is really good. There's interesting crimes to solve every week and the interaction between the principals is such great fun, with wit and humour.

I simply cannot understand CBS policy. Why cancel a popular show halfway through a season? And yet other dross shows, with poor ratings, survive. Network politics? Quite frankly, it's almost at the point where it's not worth investing time in a new show until it's been renewed to at least two more seasons, then binge-watch to catch up.

I am fed up with investing my time in a show, only to have the network pull the rug from under my feet.

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!

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. 🙁

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.

5 episodes in and I still want more. It's entertaining. The chemistry is getting better as each episode happens. And after you realize that the distant relationship between the characters in the beginning is part of the underlying backstory, it's easy to start liking them all. I'm enjoying the show and the acting. It's not like they're going for an Oscar or something. It's one of those shows that you just let happen and it pays you back with a few twists and turns, a couple laughs and satisfying story-lines. Enjoy it with a cocktail or something else that helps you smile. I think this show is going to be a good one to binge on a cold winters night once a few seasons are in the can.
