Pete Gilroy: [Yvette walks in on a conversation, not knowing it's about a dog] My Grandson's not only a terrific runner, he's really smart too.
Yvette: Oh, well maybe he and TJ can hang out together. Is he around TJ's age?
Pete Gilroy: Well, I don't know, how old are you?
T.J.: Almost ten, sir.
Pete Gilroy: Oh, no, he'd be long dead by then.
Yvette: Oh, I'm so sorry!

i like it, 19 October 1999

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!!
