This is classic CBS -- fun, easy, enjoyable. It has a terrific cast headed by Skylar Astin, who brings his traditional energy and verve to the character. His character (the aforementioned Todd) bounces all over the place and is alternately obnoxious and funny but in the end, brilliant (minus the ego). His foil is his mother, played deliciously by Marcia Gay Harden, who is excelling of late in playing powerful, broken women. Add in a smart sister, an engaged ex co-worker and a legal investigation of the week and you have a show which can slide into your viewing without a lot of work. It's a pleasant way to spend an hour. Go for it.
