Plot
Set in Washington, D.C., the show was about the misadventures of 10-year-old child genius T.J. Henderson (Tahj Mowry) from elementary school and gets transferred to Piedmont High School where he ends up becoming a high school sophomore with teenagers as his classmates.

T.J. must adjust to the life with older (but not necessarily wiser) high school teenagers, including his older brother Marcus (Jason Weaver) and Marcus's best friend Mo (Omar Gooding).

The episodes typically dealt with T.J.'s missteps of trying to fit in as a kid genius, while being a small kid in high school as well as the contrast between his smarts and his brother's underachieving nature.

T.J.'s older brother Marcus Henderson (the suave and underachieving middle child) also deals with teenage problems, such as finding a date and doing homework (even though he sometimes tries to get T.J. to do his homework for him).

Their father Floyd Henderson (John Marshall Jones), a widowed single father who owns his own roofing business, deals with the problems of raising his three kids: Yvette, Marcus and T.J., since his wife's death.

Floyd's only daughter & Marcus and T.J.'s older sister Yvette (Essence Atkins) is a level-headed, overachieving student.
