Matt Roush says...
At a time when so many nights are overrun with grim and formula crime dramas, Elsbeth and its playful Thursday night neighbor, the legal farce So Help Me Todd (starring Skylar Astin as a hapless private eye and Marcia Gay Harden as his uptight lawyer mother) are refreshing respites.
