hell yeah Nickelodeon was great had all the best cartoons live shows catered to young kids and teens in its heyday nothing compares and even Disney was doing its thing . It was nickelodeon and when we grew up got a little bit older B.E.T before all the changes with viacom and other bs .By the time we were grown though the quality went down and its not just because we got older lol. You had to be there and notice the huge decline over years in tv programming as a whole.
The episode when TJ lost his intelligence , at the end when Marcus blanked during presentation and they started showing what everyone was thinking , when they showed Mo beatboxing I LOST IT 😂😂😂😂
I would've watched a Marcus and Mo spin off, showing them going off to college or something. I don't blame TJ, it was his show, but I don't know, Jason Weaver could've argued for more money as well. This guy was coming off of playing simba's singing voice in the biggest animated film of all time in my opinion and playing young michael jackson in one of the greatest biopics ever! Omar was coming off the heels of Hanging with Mr. Cooper and hosting one of the greatest kid tv game shows, this was really an All Star cast who all deserved a raise.
I agree. Omar himself has said in another interview that when the cast met each other Jason had the bigger name at the time. So yeah TJ is selfish. The show ran from 97 to 99. Hadn’t it been for TJ’s selfishness the show could’ve gone on at least till 2002
@@ivanivez7456 I Don't think He was Selfish,He's Just a Kid.

A show based on Marcus and Moe would’ve done great as their chemistry, along with the father (who was really underrated) was what really held the show together.
Wouldn't say they did so many political issues. They did 3 big ones like casual racism, Child pornography and teenage sex. But yes it was a very funny and enjoyable show. Classic 90s.
RIP Hangin with Mr Cooper! One of my favorite shows growing up. I’ll never forget when Mark suited up for the Warriors. Dropped 4 points in preseason game.
Heck when your older twin sisters are starring in their own hit show "Sister Sister", I'm sure Tia & Tamara weren't getting the same pay as Ray and Lisa HAHA that was really messed up how they did the Smart Guy cast...
@@bigstone1293 thank u... He was the marquee star. On Smart Guy, Jason Weaver was the most notable NAME on the show. Taj was the lead, but respectfully, they were all getting paid what Weaver was comfy at, and that was handsome enough
It actually worked out for Tahj because around that time that the show ended was when he started to build up his resume….I remember a couple of those DCOMs (Disney Channel Original Movies) he was in and he was on Kim Possible for about a good 5-6 years so he still got to the bag regardless
Went to college with T.J for a year at a small school in GA. He played running back on our football team before he transferred and moved back to Cali. I remember seeing both Tia and Tamera at a game which was super dope.
Can’t even be mad at Tahj it is what it is, plus his family was probably in his ear. Smart guy had a chance to be one of the legendary shows like Martin and fresh prince.
Yea, his sisters probably put him on game about what he should be making. People have to remember that this was still in the era of "shut up and act". Not like how it is today!
Y’all act like tj was 18 n cashin the checks🤦🏽♂️ obviously the parent(s) are who wantin more n cuz of greed the show got canceled. It was a new show, so I don’t see how after 1 season u gone expect a raise. After Season 2 maybe or after 1 if the ratings were #1
TJ deserved it just off the fact he was a little kid using words most college professors can't use in a sentence just for a sitcom role. The whole cast was great and deserved an increase though. Smart Guy and My Wife and Kids were 2 of the last great black sitcoms I can think of, that didn't revolve around being black.
I'm still upset about My Wife and Kids. The first two seasons were great. The third season was decent. After the third season, I felt the writing just went to crap. It's like someone behind the scenes stopped caring.
Can’t blame Tj, smart guy is a great show to this day very fun still. I thought they all had great chemistry together they were very believable in there roles, they will get rid of black shows so fast
Always want a nigga to work for free. Fast forward to the "Chapelle Show", we could have got more of that but fucked Dave over. So hats off to the smart guy.
That's what I figured. Comments on here calling him selfish. He was too young at the time to have such a mindset. That was clearly a petty adult behind that.
Correct!!! Greedy Hollywood parents behind the scenes. Same thing happened to Jaime Foxworth (Judy) on Family Matters. Her mama was demanding more money and they got her up outta there. A shame!
Can you blame them? They got twin daughters gettin the same treatment on another show, they wasn’t trying to make the same mistake with their other son
@@portraitofalady1598 thts not greedy if he is the star of the show he shouldn't have been makin the same ..and family matters had more known actors and a bigger cast ...the grandma on family matters acted since she was 5 years old I believe vaudeville days ...then u have jo Marie and reggie who were well known ...
@@portraitofalady1598 People barely knew she existed on the show. No reason for her to have a pay increase. Taj, totally different. He most certainly should've had a pay increase.
Never knew why Smart Guy ended so soon, it really had the potential of being a “Boy Meets World” with the longevity, def a spin off with Marcus and Moe in college etc… don’t blame him, the show had the views so give the lead actor his money
He talked about this same topic on Comedy Hype and it's nice to see he has no beef. In that other interview, he even said he understands Tahj wanting more because the show's called "Smart Guy" and not "The Hendersons".
0:44 I thought Moe’s character arc was a bit strange in the beginning. I always caught Smart Guy from the middle of the series. Then I remember finally catching the pilot episode when it started showing on the Disney channel and was confused why Moe was so different and being so antagonistic towards TJ lol. This explains it
that’s a lot of kid/family sitcoms. the bully always end up being a friend lol. my theory is cause the bullies usually be the most funniest ones in the show, on some background, one liner shit at first but then the next season give them more screen time and lines because they found out they were a fan favourite. not even jus live action shows, look at cartoons too and notice how some the bullies jus end up around the main cast lol . all sitcoms and most cartoons got a episode focused on the bully too. character development
Omar is a really good actor. This interview is the 1st time I’ve really understood how he and Cuba Gooding Jr. could be brothers. I never thought they were anything alike until seeing this. 😂
You dont know how excited i was when i saw smart guy was on disney plus when it first came out acouple years ago. i was looking for the show forever and could never get it anywhere and havent seen it since i was a kid on the family channel.
Always thought this guy was Phenomenal as Ervin on Hangin with Mr Cooper. I remember the episode Bumper Robinson played the gangsta & Ervin dated his sister: Bumper: "3 o'clock u gone get the beat down of yo life" Ervin: *confused face* "Man I thought u said we was cool??!" Lol 🤣 Even serious episodes he balanced with comedy. Range, talented brotha
Honestly tahj definitely deserved a pay increase and so did everybody else Omar and Jason for sure throw in essence and tha dad all definitely deserve and increase u could’ve made tha show so much greater with more seasons
That’s crazy because I never heard this story before and now it makes sense that I didn’t see that lead character on anything else for a long time. I think the next time I saw him was on The Game which was years later.
I just figured that after the show, he wanted to focus on being a regular kid. Tia and Tamera were his sisters. They could've easily hooked him up if he still wanted to act in Hollywood.
Omar was my absolute favorite on Smart Guy!!!! 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾 Watched it with my daughter. I LOVED Omar! He was HILARIOUS!!!!!!!!! I truly don't know if I would have watched Smart Guy had it not been for looking forward to seeing Omar.
Tahj deserved more money. Omar basically just said “We got paid as much as the lead, so we were cool.” Of course y’all were ok with it! 😂 Plus, Tahj was a minor. Any decision that was made about him showing up was on his parents.
Now if anyone from Friends or Seinfeld wanted an increase you think they wouldn't get it?, they always find ways to tell us that "we get too big for our britches " 🤦🏽♀️
@@itsharryhagen Also, if I remember correctly the other three (minus Seinfeld) wouldn't do the interviews for the DVD box set until they got some more money. Jerry is buying crazy cars and all that with his residual checks lol
Im glad no one in the comments saying anything bad about Tj lmao because that definitely was some bullsht if he literally got the MOST lines/does the most work, and getting paid Same as everyone else.. not even to mention he the Star of show lol🤦🏿♂️
I always felt he was a better actor than his brother. I even think he would have played OJ WAAAY better. What you’re not willing to do behind the scenes in HOLLYWOOD determines how successful you’ll become.
I was just about to post this, but truth is I'd say he's "just as good" as Cuba. They're both great actors I think people just don't like Cuba's image but I could definitely see Omar winning an Oscar if he made that a priority

Yea but he ended the show you gotta put in work first. Should of gave it a little more time.
And call it Marcus and Moe that a be sweet 😂
Yeah but he cost the show another season. The show ran from 97 till 99. If it wasn’t for TJ’s selfishness the show could’ve gone on till at least 2002

Marcus and Mo should’ve had a spin-off. That’s damn right bro

To this day it kills me lol

Like the Wayan Bros
It wouldnt have been the same after Tajh got older.

Smart Guy aged well too. Im rewatching it now and it still holds up
This guy is so well spoken… I could listen for hours

Pretty’s selfish.. it cost them them the show😊
I always felt he was a better actor than his brother. I even think he would have played OJ WAAAY better. What you’re not willing to do behind the scenes in HOLLYWOOD determines how successful you’ll become.
I was just about to post this, but truth is I'd say he's "just as good" as Cuba. They're both great actors I think people just don't like Cuba's image but I could definitely see Omar winning an Oscar if he made that a priority
I love the show Smart Guy!!’
🎶 Another slice of life is master T.J. Henderson
Super intelligent, a fine young gentleman
A ten year old whiz kid bussin high school
A pugnacious little shorty with a thousand IQ
He's got a way with the ladies, and he's keepin it real
Your favorite little study buddy, he knows the deal
That he’s still just a kid, on the ball, very clever
You could say that he's bright, brainy, gifted, whatever
(Mo's Voice)Yo brother is smaaart! 🎶
Shows had some good theme songs back in the day.
I remember him from wild and crazy kids
He definitely should have gotten paid more!!!💰💰💰💰
Does anyone remember Omar Gooding on Wild n Crazy Kids 😂😂😂😂😂
Omar Gooding is very underrated, he deserves wayyyy more credit then he gets. 💯
Agreed.
