The show's main character is T.J. Henderson (played by Tahj Mowry), a 10-year-old genius who is promoted from the fifth grade to the tenth grade. T.J.'s older brother Marcus (Jason Weaver) and his friend Morris "Mo" Tibbs (Omar Gooding) befriend T.J. and sometimes use his genius to their advantage while looking out for him. T.J.'s older sister Yvette (Essence Atkins) is a senior at the high school her two brothers and Mo attend; she is a vocal women's rights activist. Their widowed father Floyd (John Marshall Jones) is a contracter who only wants the best for his kids. The show begins with TJ's first day in high school and ends with Yvette's graduation.

The series didn't attract a large audience but remained on The WB for three short seasons. Some critics panned it due to the laugh track occurring too frequently. It is filmed without an audience with a laugh track from previous WB shows. Cast members weren't happy about this. However, a few episodes did have scenes filmed with what appeared to be a live studio audience.

Question!
What would you guys do if you were able to skip 6 grades, do you think it would be difficult to be a genius?

I agree with you...

I thought Disney Channel's lineup from '03 to '04 was perfect...

Then they started that "That's So Disney Channel" marketing campaign, and butchered the lineup...

Putting Recess on twice, sometimes three times a day... What were they thinking?...

so so so so so so true. they think about what is cheaper to make so you end up with bad writing bad acting and bad directing. quality is non-existant nowadays

probably not shown any more cause, not only was there reruns even until 2003 or 2004, but now the boy is 20-something years old, and we was around 8-13 years old, during the show
