What’s This TV Show About?
A legal dramedy series airing on the CBS television network, the So Help Me Todd TV show stars Marcia Gay Harden, Skylar Astin, Madeline Wise, Tristen J. Winger, Inga Schlingmann, and Rosa Arredondo. In season two, Heather Morris recurs and Lisa Rinna and Sandra Bernhard guest. In the story, Margaret Wright (Harden) is a razor-sharp and successful attorney who is reeling from the recent dissolution of her marriage. Her son Todd (Astin) is a quick-thinking former private detective who’s fallen on hard times after his “flexible interpretation of the law” got his license revoked. Though Margaret’s high standards and strict adherence to the law are at complete odds with Todd’s scrappy and seat-of-his-pants methods, she asks him to join her firm as the in-house investigator. Mother and son working together is a big first step toward mending their fragile and dysfunctional relationship. In season two, having now regained his license, Todd decides to open his own private investigation business.
Season Two Ratings
The second season of So Help Me Todd averaged a 0.33 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 4.43 million viewers. Compared to season one, that’s down by 7% in the demo and down by 4% in viewership in the live+same day ratings (includes DVR playback through 3:00 AM). While these numbers don’t include further delayed or streaming viewing, they are a very good indicator of how a show is performing, especially when compared to others on the same channel. There can be other economic factors involved in a show’s fate, but typically the higher-rated series are renewed and the lower-rated ones are cancelled. Find out how So Help Me Todd stacks up against other CBS TV shows.
So Help Me Todd has been cancelled, so there will not be a third season. Could it be revived someday? Stay tuned for further updates.
Telly’s Take
Will CBS cancel or renew So Help Me Todd for season three? This show was the network’s lowest-rated freshman scripted series to be renewed in its first year and ranked 15th out of 18 scripted shows. So Help Me Todd is produced by CBS’ in-house studio but I think its ranking is going to have to improve for it to be renewed. I’ll update this page with breaking developments.

CBS, you made a big mistake taking so help me Todd, bring it back.
CBS, you are fools to cancel this show. It is a great show with all kinds of suspense and can’t comedy. It is a well written show in a well acted show to cancel. It is to your detriment shame on you.
The writing has taken a downturn compared to season 1. I’m not surprised this was cancelled.

One of the few shows I look forward to seeing each week. Please rethink this.
Nooooo !! I really love this show. It’s a great, “funny, smart show” that I really enjoy watching. I love watching what Margaret wears, she dresses so beautifully. I was looking forward to seeing the new relationship between Todd and the gift shop girl, (and Margaret and Gus’ relationship). It’s my feel good show. I hope somehow, they reconsider and bring it back, or another network picks it up. This ruined my day!! Bummer, Bummer, Bummer !!
