Okeydoke.

Updated Plot: Jonathan Middler is a 16 year-old supergenius who's about to graduate high school. Unfortunately, there's one problem- he was never able to finish middle school because he kept getting sick. Now he has to spend a year in seventh grade before he can graduate, which is made even harder by the fact that he has to go to the same grade as his annoying younger brother- not to mention he can't let any of his friends find out that the smartest kid in school has to go back to middle school.

Characters: Other characters featured would include Jonathan's cheerleader crush and some of his super-nerd friends (including one antagonistic one that wants to be better than Jonathan), Mr. Middler (who is constantly away on business trips), a bully from Parker's class that Jonathan stands up to (beginning the bond between the brothers), and some other kids from Parker's class.
 * Jonathan Middler - A super-genius 16 year-old who gets sent back to middle school for a year so that he can graduate high school. He wants to graduate ahead of his class to prove to his super-genius friends that he's smartet than them, and will do anything to graduate.
 * Parker Middler - Jonathan's 12 year-old little brother. Parker and Jonathan don't get along very well, so Parker is mortified when his older brother has to go to the same school as him. Unlike his older brother, Parker is average intelligence, and always feels like he's in his brother's shadow.
 * Luke McClanahan - Parker's best friend. Luke is a lot like Parker, and Parker is almost always better at everything (which is why Parker keeps Luke around). Besides that, they get along very well, until Luke reveals his secret talent at table tennis and beats Parker.
 * Benny Jarrett - Jonathan's best friend. Unlike Jonathan, Benny isn't very smart. Benny is one of the people that Jonathan tries to hide the fact that he has to go back to 7th grade from, but he finds out early on in the series and agrees to help keep it a secret. Although he isn't a super-genius like Jonathan's other friends, they've known each other for a long time and get along better than Jonathan and his nerd friends.
 * Jen Middler - Jonathan and Parker's mom. She is very caring, but is constantly favoring Jonathan over Parker, even if it isn't on purpose. She doesn't like Benny, but treats Luke like her own son (on the level of Parker, not Jonathan)
