What’s This TV Show About?

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 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. They may even come away with a better understanding of each other at this pivotal point in their lives.
 

Season One Ratings

The first season of So Help Me Todd averages a 0.35 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 4.62 million viewers in the live+same day ratings (including 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.

Telly’s Take

Will CBS cancel or renew So Help Me Todd for season two? Breaking with tradition, the network decided to abandon sitcoms for the Thursdays at 9 PM hour and try a new legal drama instead. CBS has plenty of procedural dramas, but legal dramas are not the same thing. Establishing a new drama, especially one that’s not a spin-off, is tough these days, but I suspect this one’s got a very good chance of surviving. I’ll update this page with breaking developments.
