I don’t even think Todd has been watching it.
I have. It’s a comedy drama which is similar in style to shows like Castle, Moonlighting and Remington Steele except in this case the protagonists are a mother and son. I’ve always enjoyed comedy drama shows like this. David E. Kelly did the best ones though like The Practice, Picket Fences, Chicago Hope, Boston Legal, Ally McBeal etc.

Ten clearly doesn’t have much love for it, I’ve not come across a single promo for it. Ten’s promos are too fixated on reality and 7.30 shows.

This is the biggest problem with the networks. They would have been advertising The Traitors or The Masked Singer in every commercial break across every day and week, but never run a promo for Five Bedrooms or So Help Me Todd. How are viewers supposed to find any other shows when they’re not promoted?
I only knew about SHMT from seeing a story about it on Entertainment Tonight. Luckily I saw one promo for it on Ten the night before it started, so set my recorder for it.

No. From the title I just assumed it was a show where people ask Todd Sampson for help with some aspect of their lives.

It does sound like some reality or reality send up show. Remember the SBS series Life Support and Brendan Cowell (later Duncan Fellows) playing Todd.
Edit: Before anyone dismisses this was a possibility just think of other attempts at reviving ideas or taking other networks discards (other than Neighbours) - Good News Week, Dancing with the Stars, Family Feud, A Country Practice to name a few
Forum readers should have had a pretty good idea of what the show was about as a synopsis or each episode has been posted every week since the pilot episode.

A morning schedule update:
On Tuesday and Wednesday, 10 aired a Neighbours repeat at 9.00am.
As of this morning, the Neighbours repeat was moved to 7.30am, with a Judge Judy repeat now airing at 9am. Good Chef Bad Chef (repeat) that aired at 7.30am is now out of the schedule.
The new run episodes of Neighbours at 4.30pm hasn’t set the ratings world on fire either, being beaten by Bold and the Beautiful which airs before hand at 4pm. Am hoping it remains at 4.30pm for a few more weeks, before that is also given a bump.

Still a decent amount of local content there, but they really should have something new for Sunday nights. Graham Norton doesn’t really cut it in a prime slot like that nowadays which really should be a launchpad for the rest of the week.

October 1 is the night of the NRL Grand Final, so 10 is marking time by scheduling Graham Norton on that night. I am sure The Masked Singer will also air on Sundays from October 8.

This “change” probably isn’t the best sign for the future of Neighbours. It seems Ten has just got nervous. I don’t think 7:30am between cooking shows will help at all.
I think Entertainment Tonight should have moved to 7am or 9am with Judge Judy going back to 9am or moving to 7am (and doing a double episode on Monday morning).
Although not necessarily the problems here, I think one of the problem is that despite Nine and Sevens weekend breakfast shows are for some reason able to finish on time (at 10am) but the weekday sister show of the respective networks finish at 9:10am give or take 5 minutes every day despite being “programmed” to finish at 9 am. We all know it’s not tardiness, more the fact the networks are trying to dupe viewers to stay on for the infomercial packed morning show.

Friday saw Neighbours now at 9:30am as a lead in to Studio 10. B and B was at 9:00am. That is the current schedule for Tue-Fri next week.
