Ten-year-old genius (Tahj Mowry) has skipped six grades into high school. This incredible promotion somewhat aggravates his teenage siblings. —Carol Braxton <carl@sigmais.com>

Trivia
In the pilot Pilot (1997), the house and school sets were the same ones as were used in Boy Meets World (1993).

Goofs
In the show TJ is skipped to the tenth grade but factually the highest grade a student could be advanced to is the ninth.

Quotes
Yvette: I answered the phone. I'm sick I need help.

Alternate versions
On the U.S. cable network BET, reruns of this show (since September 2008) end without the Walt Disney Television logo, but with those of De Passe Productions and Danny Kallis Productions. As such, the only mention of Disney's involvement lies in the copyright notice.

i like it

I'd seen previews of this show on WB, then it came to Disney and i decided to watch it. I figured it'd be corny like most Disney shows. But it wasn't, I actually liked it. Mo is my favorite, he is sooooo funny.

Smart Guy starts off about a 10-year old genius to becomes a sophmore at Piedmont High School w/ his older brother and sister. And everything that goes on. I like it! I give Smart Guy 9/10!!
