So Help Me Todd
Created by Scott Prendergast
On CBS
A warm, character-driven procedural-comedy centered on a fractious but loving mother-son dynamic, balancing family dysfunction with weekly case resolution.
Despite their opposing personalities, a talented but directionless P.I. who is the black sheep of his family begrudgingly agrees to work as the in-house investigator for his overbearing mother, a successful attorney reeling from the recent dissolution of her marriage.
