What is it about? Smart People
Sometimes the smartest people have the most to learn
Professor Lawrence Wetherhold might be imperiously brilliant, monumentally self-possessed and an intellectual giant -- but when it comes to solving the conundrums of love and family, he's as downright flummoxed as the next guy.
Genres: comedy, drama, romance. Themes: professor.
