Does a large network make and titles on Wacky, too (or, depending on your sense of humor, as crunching stimulus) like CBS? I don't think so. It is home to such creative, chaotically named shows such as "Akejack and Fatman", "Gary Necen", "Anoan of Arcadia", "The United States of Al", "Sisini" and the Mother's Personal Favorite, Name-Mudo-Mudrocher " God reported me. " The awkward headlines on the net go until the golden age of TV, but their schedule still has a few strange named shows today. Without giving each of them a watch, it's hard to say your "first marriage to Georgi and Mandi" from your "Bob Hearts Abishola", but an unusually named show recently made its mark recently with a short but beloved two -season escape : "So I help Todd."

The name of "So Help Me to Todd" gives a few hints on the show's premise, but actually referred to a private private detective ("Perfect Perfect" alumus) that ends up working in a law firm driven by his by-book mother (Oscar and Oscar and Tony's winner, Marcia Gay Harden) in the northwest of the Pacific. Together, the team of the strange son of the son, to examine the cases of the week (some of which are so many Portland) and, in the second season, to discover a larger plot. Madeleine Wizz, Tristen J. was also in the role of the show. Winger, Inga Schlingman and Rosa Evangelina Ardono, with a former starworm "Gle", Heather Morris, joined the Sophomorus season. "So, help me to Todd" earned mixed reviews, but there were also millions of regular viewers, so his early cancellation in April 2024 was filled with a lot of frustration. Here's why it ended.

The cancellation of "So Help Me to Todd" was released in April 2024, along with the news that another CBS show - this with links to a very popular franchise - also biting the bullet. "CSI: Vegas" was shortened after only three seasons (compared to the CSI show, which ran for amazing fifteen years), and "Help me to Todd" was framed at the same time. This was, how Pointed out the deadlineA relatively unpleasant reduction due to "overall belt tightening by media companies", resulting in mass changes in television over the past few years. Showtime Both AMC and both prompted significant dismissal of staff of 2022While cw cut and hacked through its way Its entire existing composition Starting the same year. The less is said about Excessive number of changes made in HBO And his stream during these lean time, the better.

CBS has not come out of the recent economic strokes that the industry-incorporating and pandemic industry has faced, long-term Hollywood labor movement and massive political turnaround. In a separate piece, Observed rock that "there is financial pressure on () corporate level at all traditional media companies to prevent spending in a soft advertising market." Basically, at that time "so help me to Todd" was canceled, there were more companies that tried to sell space for advertising than there were advertisers who tried to buy it, a problem that affects the main networks more than flow-based on Subscribers. It also probably does not help that the parent company CBS Paramount was in the middle of longer merging with the media for skiditz Around this time, and corporate mergers usually lead to a certain level of internal change, if not total bloodshed.

All this led to the decision of the network to cancel several plays. 2024 saw the end not only of "so help me" and "NFIS: Vegas", but also on long -term programming of the main network such as "Young Sheldon", "Blue Bloods" and "Speech", plus additional plays, including " Bob Hearts Abishola, "" Comics Released "and" NCIS: Hawaii ".

Of course, when it comes to TV programming, "out with the old" part of the equation often has to be balanced by the "new" of all this. The deadline also cited CBS's "space on the shelves" when he talked about spring 2024 cancellations, making it clear that the show's cancellation is part of a business decision designed to make new programming. This is also quite typical of media merging periods, and unfortunately, "so help me Todd" was at the bottom of the rating table compared to other CBS dramas. Todd collected 7.7 million viewers on multiple platforms, a number that would be Way higher than the show that changes to the Zejgist as "subsequent" If the title was on a payment cable but is relatively low for a large four channel with a massive market share like CBS.

So CBS said goodbye to "So help me to Todd", and without time to rewrite the existing story before the finals fall for a month, the show ended up on a big clifancher. "I think the number one that worked against us was CBS has too many hours of works that work too well," the creator of Scott Prendgast series stated the deadline After the final. "Real estate is not there."

At 9am on Thursday night, the show that occupied him was given to Elsbet, an unusual and wonderful "good struggle" Spinoff starring Carey Preston as a lawyer consulting Nyujork for mysterious cases. With its format "Columbus" similar to the form and co -creators Robert and Michel Kings characteristic talent, "Elsbet" is much better than most of what network -cutter nature of the media industry. CBS continued to move the schedule, also with "Young Sheldon" and "Ghosts" and both occupied at 9am in the 2023-24 aired year.

"So help me to Todd" there were many fans when it was turned on, but the random show really knew when it was shortened prematurely. After the cancellation, the cast and the crew of the series revealed that Todd had a planned end, news that made fans publicly share their passion in the hope of watching the third season or new home. "What kills me the most, I know how the series really was supposed to end," Starvala Scalar Astin Posted on x At that time. He went on: “It was perfect. Emotional, complete circle and perfect Todd. "

Instead, the ultimate viewers were incomplete, with Marcia Gay Harden Margaret a pretty convincing framing of embezzlement and other crimes with white collars. The man behind the crimes, Merrit, was a partner in the central law firm of the show, which never appeared throughout the play. However, his shoes stepped into the frame during the final seconds of the final of the season 2, in Clifancher making Prendregast told TVLin CBS's enforcement agent encouraged him to follow him, believing the show is safe. He also said they hoped to throw "soprano" and "tied" starfish OEO Pantoliano in the role of overlap.

In response to the cancellation news, fans set at least two different Changes.org petitions in the hope of getting the play another season, and one even threatened with a boycott. Together, the two petitions have approximately 55,000 signatures, but there is still no news of the future return of "Well, help me to Todd", and most of the cast and crew have said some pretty beautiful sounds.
