Smart Guy
Created by Danny Kallis
On The WB
A warm, family-centered sitcom about a boy genius navigating high school alongside his siblings, built on sibling affection and the comedy of mismatch rather than conflict.
T.J. is a boy genius who gets bumped up from the fourth grade to high school. T.J. tries to adjust to his new life, but he shares some classes with his 14 year-old brother Marcus, the school jock, and his clueless and self-absorbed 16 year-old sister Yvette.
