So Help Me Todd….

I just watch the new show So Help Me Todd last night. I won’t go into too many details but it’s about an out-of-work private investigator who gets hired by his mother, a high-powered lawyer in a prestigious law firm in heavily transit-friendly Portland. Here’s the rub: she’s apparently disappointed in the clothes he wears to work so she bought him a whole new outfit for work – and a bus pass. “I won’t have you driving that old jalopy into this building!” she declares. After she leaves the room, Todd says to himself, “I’ll wear the clothes but I won’t take the bus. Sad, Todd. Very sad.
