The Waltons: The Genius
Running Time: 60 min.
Having trouble with his college physics class, John-Boy (Richard Thomas) begins studying with a brilliant tutor--a 16-year-old prodigy named Lyle (Dennis Kort). Invited to stay for a while with the Waltons, Lyle quickly demonstrates that though he may a genius, he is a complete social misfit, unable to communicate with "normal" people. After inadvertently insulting the Waltons intellectually , Lyle finally crosses the line when he dismisses Olivia's belief in God as immature and unrealistic. Needless to say, Lyle is due for a few hard lessons in getting along with his fellow humans--and a local fund-raising bazaar is as good a place as any for those lessons. Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
