Reply to comment by Neo2199 in Broadcast TV’s New Fall Series Ranked by Premiere Viewers - Fire Country (5.91M), East New York (5.27M), So Help Me Todd (4.81M) by Neo2199

Thought the first two episodes of So Help Me Todd were really good for a CBS show

Didn’t see Alaska Daily yet

The Rookie: Feds has mid season cancellation written all over it

I like Alaska Daily. Right mix of drama with that bit of humor.

What is So Help Me Todd like? Is it a comedy? A drama? A mystery?

So far the ads have told me nothing except who is in it.

It’s all of the above. It’s a dramedy and the main character Todd is a former PI so it’s like a mystery/ case of the week show.

I like So Help Me Todd so far as well. The lead is good, loved him in other sitcoms, plus of course Pitch Perfect. He is charming and funny in a self deprecating way, and he ends up being the butt of most jokes which seems to work with his exasperated expression he does so well.

Also, his mom is good. She will most likely loosen up a bit as the show goes on, but the stuffy lawyer is a good counter to Todds lack of professionalism.

There is a love interest, who is engaged to someone else, but my guess is she ends that relationship at some point.

Also, it seems like mom and Todd will break out and end up with their own practice or something like that.
