Editing Smart Guy (section)

==Production==
Tahj Mowry and Omar Gooding are the only main cast members that did not appear in every episode. Tahj Mowry did not appear in the season 3 episode "Get a Job" and Omar Gooding in "A Little Knowledge." Jason Weaver, Essence Atkins and John Marshall Jones are the only cast members to appear in every episode.

The series was taped at Sunset-Gower Studios in Hollywood. The establishing shot of the fictional Piedmont High School later appeared on another Washington, D.C.–based Disney series, ''[[Cory in the House]]'' for the [[Disney Channel]], and also as the establishing shot for John Adams High on the ABC series ''[[Boy Meets World]]''.

===Main settings===

====The Henderson house====
A majority of the show's scenes take place in the Henderson house or the school. Originally, most of the family scenes took place in the kitchen, with the lack of living room area seen during the first season. The living room set when it was added in season two had a window and the front door at stage center, and the stairs and kitchen doorway at stage right. The kitchen set was scaled back as well with the back stairs that lead to the bedrooms removed. The layout changed again in season three with the kitchen remaining the same, but the living room layout changes including the front door now located at stage left. Marcus and T.J.'s bedroom is the only set to remain the same during the course of the entire series.

====Piedmont High School====
Piedmont High is the high school that Yvette, Marcus, Mo and T.J. attend. The four main sets seen in the show are the classroom, the hallway, the cafeteria and the auditorium. The hallway changes its layout twice during the series.

===Theme song and opening sequences===
The theme song for the first and second seasons was produced and written by Kristian Rex who also composed the music for the entire second season. The theme song for ''Smart Guys''' third and final one was performed by Hami and featured cast member Omar Gooding. A short version of the season three theme, which is different from the regular theme song was used in episodes in which ran over the allotted time.

The opening sequence for the first two seasons was fully computer-animated with the exception of the cast video headshots. The show's title logo was shown at the beginning and again at the end of the sequence when the main characters without Mo are shown above it. The season three opening titles were made to resemble a music video (the sequence was choreographed by Russell Clark).

===Video on demand===
The entire series (except for the episode "[[List of Smart Guy episodes#ep4|Don't Do That Thing You Do]]") is available to stream on [[Disney+]] as of its launch date of November 12, 2019.<ref>{{Disney+ series}}</ref>
