And now for something completely different ...
"The Paper Chase" is an acclaimed TV drama from the late 70s and early 80s*, based on the 1973 film of the same name (which was based on the 1970 novel by Harvard Law graduate John Jay Osborn Jr).
It stars John Houseman (who won an Oscar for his role in the film version) as commanding Ivy League law professor Charles W. Kingsfield Jr., and James Stephens as student James T. Hart. You'll also recognize a very young Jane Kaczmarek as another law student.
(*Note: "The Paper Chase" debuted on CBS in 1978, but was canceled after one season. Showtime brought it back in 1983 for three more seasons).
